PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT II
For this entry, we will focus on the day to day basis of our visits to Tuas (Ensure Engineering) to monitor the progress for the construction of the prototype. We worked hand in hand and very closely with the technician as well as the production manager to ensure that the prototype fits all our requirements. Our frequent discussion ranges from raw materials and instrumentation to be used and suggestions raised by the technicians as well as the production manager.
