Blog #3 - End of Week 1

 This week was introducing me to the pediatric image-related development field. I read a lot (more than I’ve read in school 😄), but thankfully it was interesting to me. For the rest of the week, I read about the requirements in creating the actual product which is something related to an incubator. It was about forty pages worth of requirements! It makes sense, but also amazes me how many things you are required to have for an incubator and even more for the kind of product Ravi and Jose are making. I typed all the requirements into Microsoft Excel because then they could look at that instead of the forty-page packet. Ravi wanted me to paraphrase each requirement and try to have each one be about ten words long, however, I had trouble shortening some of them because they had a lot of specifics. He told me they could always go back and look at the packet for clarification and specifics if needed. Then Ravi and I went over them together and wrote down on paper if it applied or didn’t apply to their product and the rationale for each one of them. Following that, I entered the rationales into excel and went over the tests that the product will have to go through to be approved. After that, I was done for the week. This week I learned that I need to make things easier for me because I tend to do extra or complicated things which makes it unorganized and just harder on me. Next week, we plan on getting more hands-on than reading, so it will change things up from this week. I’m excited to see what happens next!
