Glenn PDR Follow-up
Post-PDR Action Steps for Students
After the NASA HUNCH Preliminary Design Review (PDR), it's crucial for students to effectively incorporate the feedback received to enhance their projects. Here are the steps to follow:
1. **Take Detailed Notes**: Capture all feedback provided by NASA engineers, program managers, and professionals, including your teachers. This feedback is invaluable for improving your work.
2. **Incorporate Feedback into D.A.A.N.**: Document the insights and suggestions in your D.A.A.N. (Design, Analyze, Adjust, Note) format. This will help you organize your thoughts and plan your next steps.
3. **Evaluate Modifications**: Review your presentations and prototypes critically. Identify what changes or additions are necessary based on the feedback received. Make a clear plan for how you will implement these modifications in your overall project.
4. **Prepare for the CDR**: Ensure that the feedback is integrated into your next presentation, the Critical Design Review (CDR). Highlight how you have adapted your design and approach based on the insights from the PDR.
5. **Document Progress**: Take pictures of your prototypes and any relevant work. This visual documentation can be useful for presentations and will keep your mentor informed about your progress.
6. **Share with Your Mentor**: Send the documented feedback, modifications, and pictures to your mentor. Keeping them in the loop will help you receive further guidance and support as you move forward.
By following these steps, you will ensure that your project continues to evolve and improve, setting the stage for success in the upcoming CDR!
