Contributions to group project

Inital EV topic

• Brainstormed ideas about our topic with the team with the help of chatGPT and gemini
• Discussed on some flaws of EVs where we can possibly improve on
• Presented to the class as the role of the presenter on why did we choose EVs as our topic
• Researched on how to solve our problem statement of EVs to charger mismatched with the help of chatGPT and gemini

Electric Ramp topic

• Upon doing deep research, realized that it is not possible to create a universal adapter to have let EVs use different type of chargers, as the inherent protocols of different chargers (e.g. CHAdeMO to CCS)
• Managed to convince groupmates that our current topic and solution is not feasible and we need to change topic before its too late. Despite initial hesitation, I was able to persuade them which was a positive pivotal turning point in the project.
• Brainstormed the new topic on Masat's RE2 ramp and did research on the topic using chatGPT and gemini
• Researched on the different types of electric ramp available and came to the RE2 ramp as it is directly integrated under the bus floor which is a novel technology.
• Interviewed a bus enthusiast friend on bus protocols and the idea of an electric ramp.

Oral Presentation

• Formatted and designed the slides (e.g. adding pictures of buses and highway in background, standardize fonts and theme, added animation)
• Rehearsed with groupmates and gave constructive feedbacks to each other
• Encouraged groupmates and gave practical tips prior to the oral presentation

Technical Report

• Procured segments of relevant instructional units, example student work and APA website to guide groupmates on the technical report
• Created the official document and formatted it according to APA style (e.g. created headings, sub headings, and numbering. formatted indents and content page) 
• Standardized figures, tables and references accordingly to APA style  
• Guided groupmates on formatting ways and ensure formatting stays intact 
• Worked on background, implemented solution, advantages and benefits of the RE2 ramp
