The weekly report discusses the progress of a student group working on designing an electric rice cooker. In the last week, the group researched the temperature control components of rice cookers. They presented on the project's progress and block diagram. Next week, the group will design the electric rice cooker circuit. Temperature control has two types: semi-closed heating elements with nichrom wire around insulation and closed heating elements using nichrom wire springs. The strong point is specifying functions while the weak point is lacking information on Colin rice cookers.

Weekly Progress
In the last week, My group want to make electric rice cooker. Electric rice cooker and
I got assignment about components of electric rice cooker so, I seach information about
temperature control. My Team conducted a presentation on the progress project and
shows a little the block diagram each function in rice cooker working
Temperature control is Heating equipment it have two type
1. Semi closing Heating element it have ring type with nichrom wire flat around
insulation or Mica
2. Closing Heating element it use new generation of electric rice cooker make by
nichrome wire sping c
Engineering Analysis
Strong Point
- We want specify function.
Week Point
- I don't have information about colin rice cooker.
Next Week Job
Next week, we need to design electric rice cooker circuit.
