Week	Date	Description	Deliverables / Evaluations	Detailed deliverables
1	oct.03^rd	Overall introduction and course overview. The PMBOK method, examples of successfull projects. Time management strategies. Teams composition. Open brainstorm about project ideas.
2	oct.10^th	Short presentation and discussion about project proposals (plans A, B, and C) for all teams	Live presentation of project proposals (plans A, B, and C)	After rebuttal from the professors, teams must choose 2 out of the 3 initial proposals. Teams should enhance both plans with more details and specifications.
3	oct.17^th	*Seminar for discussing project proposals and presentation of enhanced* versions of plans A and B. Selection of the project proposal. Choice of the best project plan**	Enhanced project proposals (plans A and B)	Teams should improve 2 possible project ideas that comprise mechanical, electronic and software development and integration. Projects must be original, not replay of previous projects. The extension and complexity of the projects should be compatible with the number of students in the team and the time available for development.
4	oct.24^th	Project development: detailed requirements	Funcional and non-functional requirements for hardware and software. Platforms, budget, detailed tasks and schedule. Risks management analysis	A blog site freely accessible in the internet should be created. Such a blog shall follow the template of previous projects. At the inception, the blog shall have, at least, full information about the team, project, requirements, schedule, budget and risk analysis. The blog will be dynamic and weekly updated with all the information and documents generated along the development of the project. Until the end of semester, the blog will be used to present the weekly deliverables. Presentation of the funcional and non-functional requirements for hardware and software platforms, budget, initial definition of tasks and schedule.
5	oct.31^st	Project development: detailed requirements	PC1: Project Charter	In-depth analysis of the risk management plan together with schedule and requirements The Project Charter must contain detailed information about the motivations and objective of the project, as well as the funcional and non-functional requirements (and counter-requirements, if necessary); hardware and software platforms, budget, full definition of tasks and detailed schedule. Both, budget and schedule must be formatted following the rules predefined by the professors.
