The weekly report provides an update on an engineering student group's multidisciplinary workshop project. The group is designing a rice cooker product and last week presented their circuit design using a temperature sensor and triac circuit. Based on feedback, the engineering team will focus on the user interface. The group decided to use buttons instead of a touchscreen for ease of use. This week, the report's author is responsible for the triac circuit component of the design.

Weekly Progress
Last week. At morning my group present about circuit temperature sensor and triac circuit of
rice cooked. Comment from Aj.Phond is, Now engineering team is leader company. Team
engineering want thing about interface. We had found the information and we had found the
method of our product such that The first step is assign The function cooking rice and then send the
data to the Microcontroller and it save data in the memory and then show the information in the
memory on the screen. Our team had thought that we should change display from touch screen to
button because my team an emphasis on comfort of user. That's all. So we find the information
about receive the value of the screen to Microcontroller.

Engineering Analysis
Strong Point
- We use high technology so it's interesting to use the product.
- Our product is easy to use and have comfort.
- Our team have an ability to make the product.
Week Point
- The period may be too least for doing this.
Next Week Job
-Next week, I responsible about triac circuit .
