What a semester it has been. On paper, it appeared it would be easier than my previous two at the college, but once things got rolling, my time management skills were really put to the test. With three semester group projects and one individual one, I definitely had my work cut out for me. Initially, […]

What good is an idea if it has not been validated? Validation is the key to success when analyzing if an idea is a good one or not since our own view point may be biased. This most recent week we spent time doing just that. We started by getting together to discuss our approach […]
