Goal #1
Achieve 50 mpg
minimum which will
be measured
accurately after all
work has been
done and this will
be attainable by
fine tuning all
components of the
project to they all
perform optimally
and this will be
done by the end of
the 6th semester.
Mandatory Team
Goal #2
Discover electrical
sensors and
reverse engineer
them to work
together as well as
for us to have
manual control
over them. We will
use these sensors
to monitor the
vitals of the engine
and have it running
at an acceptable
performance and
other signs that we
are controlling it.
This will be done by
end of 6th
semester.

Goal #3
To get statistics
and compare them
and use the
performance
modelling taught in
adelios course to
find the optimal
settings for both
the electronic units
as well as the
entire car system
its self. We will
know we have
achieved this when
we can get enough
data and verify that
it is optimally
putting out the
maximum output
and efficiency we
where aiming for.
This will be done by
6th semester.

4. The team, mentor and sponsor will renegotiate team member roles and
project scope to compensate for the change.
5. Mentor may assign a non-performing student to a new project, (possibly
made up just for the student). Because the student may have to start the

course, must participate fully with the team to plan the project.
