While it is not a requirement for the final project, I want to
strongly encourage everybody to make signs for their projects. The
sign would have:
- name of project
- one-sentence explanation if needed
- name(s) of team members
- sources of stuff you borrowed (code, idea, etc.). For example
you might t say "code from ____ and circuit designed from ____"
if both your code and circuit came from sources on the Internet.
Give the website and the author(s).
And speaking of #4, just to flush that out a bit... I am happy to
see all of us grabbing ideas and technical implementations from
wherever we can find them to finish up our projects. As practicing
engineers, we are to be commended for our willingness to borrow
code, wiring, etc. from various sources. However, as you consider
how to present your projects, please credit these sources. Don't be
shy to say "I saw this really cool thing on the Internet by ____" or
"we took the code from ____ at
www.___" etc. In fact, you need to do
this, to be fair to yourselves and the sources that have so
generously shared their knowledge on the web. And it's empowering
for others to learn that it is possible to find so much of this
knowledge on the 'net.
Looking forward to Saturday!
