General Information[edit | edit source]
PLAN OF APPROACH 1) Introduction: POA is the milestone product of the EE4 project. The Solar vehicle makes up propulsion with different types of courses in engineering (dynamics, material technology, statics, electricity etc.). The main desire of this project is to counterfeit the solar car with the highest possible team potential unto the seminar containing the calculations and working. 1.1) Approval result and adjustments: The POA will be submitted to the EE4-coach. This will be reviewed and final result is to be judged on drop or move forward. POA should be adjusted to meet the required standards and some errors would be seen and solved. 1.2) Points on the structure of planning: The following steps have the description about the working plan on the SSV with precise calculations and simulation process proposed in the solution of our EE4 project. 2) EE4 project description: The main motive of team is mainly focussed on getting the solar car to work with an innovative model and idea by excelling through the race and anticipating future model. Firstly the assembling of SSV parts like solar panel, engine, and body framework shows impact on the competition and well reliable automobile. 2.1) Four E’s of engineering: the project combines all the four E's: Engineering, enterprising, educating and environmental. Engineering: This part has all the engineering parts of the project ,which includes building, designing ,calculation, simulating, testing, mechanical , and other engineering aspects.
Enterprising: Enterprising of a product play a very vital role in market. this part includes marketing of car or survey on it, creating publicity ,price, work breakdown structure, Gantt chart, POA etc. Educating: This area includes seminars, reports which are written and research, and group meeting. Environmental: Is relatively straight forward as the source of energy is solar energy. There are no environmental constraints. 2.2) Client: The customer of this project could be the member of the Group T Engineering College, Leuven. The experience could be gained by the engineering experience project given to the students. The team coach will always be a role as a contract during the project and do the needful.
2.3) Contractor: Contractor is the team of members who do the project in exchange of an output. The following are the details of team members consisting 7.

Praveen Saragadam is the team leader.
2.4) Aims/Objectives: The main aim of this project is to place the working, balanced solar car by competing and completing the race with highest possible potential. 2.5) Problems: Problems may occur in the SSV like air drag due to the uneven assembling of car frame and odd placing of solar panel in the angle which degrades the aerodynamic law. Sometimes, calculations have highest probability in countering the disputes in the SSV such as collusion with metal ball using the front bumper (billiards stick, spring system). Some internal problems could occur between the members due to language difference but although our team is of similar region have the strength in mutual understanding. 2.6) Anticipated result: The expected results of the project would be good, efficient and successful as, cooperation and team work among the team is strong.
3) Management aspects: 3.1) Time management: The team members should be conscious and get ready to the deadline fixed by the leader. The members of the team must be regular and careful during work progress. 3.2) Quality management: Quality of the project should be carefully managed by sharing each other projects in order to obtain a refined quality. 3.3) Information management: All The information can be found online where everyone can access it at any time. The administration will manage and organize the information.
3.4) Organization management:
The members of the team should work together and if any difficult circumstances rise from any member then they will be executed or graded poorly. Late arrivals or agree working times will be penalized by the team in order to get a polished organization. For more details refer to the cooperation contract.
3.5) Money:
All the expenses and purchases of the project have been decided to divide equally on to team members.

Week 1[edit | edit source]
Team discussed about the work to be done on week 1,team leader and secretary of the team "STARSWIFT" were choose. then plan of approach, work break down structure and Gantt chart were reviewed .All the works were divided between the team members.Then the team member started giving different ideas for the design, model ,outlook of the solar car. Discussion on different areas took place to produce more efficient solar car.Second meeting was on Wednesday 12/01/2014 .In Group T campus.Team meeting was carried out well. work break down structure , Gantt chart was completed ,Discussion on POA, team logo and team name and meeting report are made.
