  1. “Completed” CAD Model: CAD Model should now include all components of the module, BMS connections, top and bottom plates, thermistor placements, fasteners, electrical isolation covers, gusset plates, etc.

  2. Reasonable Dimensions: Dimensions should no longer be rough

    1. Should have some kind of reasoning behind the dimensions of busbars and electrical connections

  3. Part Selection: Decide on materials and component types for everything in the module. Suppliers don’t need to be finalized here, but an idea of what kind of fastener to use for the mechanical connections, or what material to manufacture the plates out of should be picked.

  4. Design Log: All design decisions, parameters, etc. should be documented in a design log which will be used when presenting during the critique
