Project Status

We are still working actively in the discovery and learning phase of the project. With help

from our customer, we have been able to identify the project requirements as well as set up

our first milestone. Some of us will continue working on the Proof of Concept(POC) for

our next meeting with Prof. Brunvand, while others are assigned to the required documentation

tasks. We are still very confident that we can provide a working product by the deadline.
