1. List ten specific ways in which your teaming approach has changed/evolved since you started, teamwork skills you have developed, and lessons you have learned.
- I have become more confident in my purpose in this team and have a clear aim of what I need to accomplish for my time involved in this project.
- I have learned how to lead my team members in terms of accomplishing tasks and reassuring them of what we are supposed to do.
- I have learned more about the difficulties and benefits of doing research and experiments by yourself since I lead the science research team and have had to do experiments and research by myself since Mountaintop.
- I have learned what its like to communicate across different teams since our project is made of up the engineering, business, and science research teams.
- I have become more knowledgeable and experienced about the scientific processes that goes into browning and spoilage of copra as well as more experienced in doing experiments and proper research.
- I have learned how to think outside the box and go the extra mile to come up with new ideas to help advance the project forward.
- I have seen how much better team members work together once they know more about each other and have a good team bond.
- I have learned that it is better to do one thing really well than do multiple things not well.
- I have learned more about how much digging you have to do in your research to find articles and other resources that are what you are looking for or even better.
- I have become better at public speaking and communicating my thoughts.
- Provide an updated Collaboration Plan, clearly articulating your Goals (Small g and Big G), Roles,Procedures, and Relationships.

Goals | Personal goals:
Brianna: Make as much useful contribution as possible, positively influence the group, create strong relationships,Improve my group work skills, ask more critical questions. Then I hope to use all these personal improvements to make a social impact that matters. Tri: Learn more about coconuts processing and get hand-on experience on making coconuts dryers! Build life-long friendship with peers at Lehigh and those in the Philippines Jake: Provide hands on help with computer aided designing, fabrication (if at all possible), and testing of our drying chambers. Provide next year’s team with the necessary information to build off of and move toward getting our venture going. Sammy: Gain experience in conducting meaningful research and working on an interdisciplinary team. Make valuable contributions to move the project forward and create sustainable impact. Improve my interpersonal skills and develop a new mindset Ami: Contribute to the project in a meaningful way, understanding my own strengths and weaknesses , and learning how I can efficiently and effectively work within a diverse team. Help to better enforce communications within the team and outside the team, and become a better researcher and writer. Improve my own hard and soft skill sets including communications, and better understanding design thinking, engineering design, and supply chain. Rozhin: Complete experiments and write results in a lab report Publish a paper about the experiments and their relationship to the overall copra industry and how the result is an asset to copra farmers. Michelle: Publish a paper about the different antioxidants we have researched on Pinpoint one antioxidant we can use for the copra processing Continue with our research and see if there are other things we can improve on Brianna C: Help team with adding background information to paper to provide readers with a deeper framework and history of its problems and clarity on why proposed solution are innovative and helpful Project Goal: The project aims to improve copra processing and process streamlining for elevating the livelihoods of copra farmers by generating additional income. Is our Project Goal scaled to our resources (dreams, materials, skills, differences, etc.) and constraints (assignment, time, skills, etc.)? As a team, we have the given resources and knowledge needed to design and prototype a device that can better process copra. Unfortunately, due to given circumstances, our access to both each other and the tools required are constraining the timetable for which this project will operate on. Since COPRA is a multi-year project, we as a team will lay up a strong foundation so that we can transfer the knowledge to other teams. The hope is that future teams will be able to scale upon the ideas and designs we come up with throughout this year.
