This guide will explain how it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size has-text-color\" style=\"color:#248fd4\">How It Works:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Your Project Folder:<\/strong> Your team will be given a dedicated, shared Google Drive folder. This is your team&#8217;s central hub. You will have access to this folder when the teams have been decided.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Your Personal Sub-Folder:<\/strong> Inside your team&#8217;s folder, you will find a personal sub-folder with your name on it. This is your private workspace.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Your Logbook &amp; Timesheet:<\/strong> Inside your personal folder, you will find two pre-configured files waiting for you:\n<ul>\n <li><strong>Student Logbook (Google Doc):<\/strong> This document is your comprehensive digital record for the project. It should contain detailed, long-form entries about your technical progress, challenges, and design decisions. You are encouraged to embed a wide range of media to fully document your work, including figures, photos, tables, equations, and links to your code repositories on platforms like GitHub.<\/li>\n <li><strong>Automated Timesheet (Google Sheet):<\/strong> A spreadsheet to log your work hours. You only need to enter the <strong>Date<\/strong>, <strong>Start Time<\/strong>, and <strong>End Time<\/strong>. The sheet will automatically calculate the day of the week, your weekly hours, and your cumulative total for the semester.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The final column in your timesheet, <strong>Logbook Document Link<\/strong>, connects your timesheet entry to your detailed notes. Instead of just linking to the main Google Doc, you can link to the specific section for that day&#8217;s work. To do this, simply use &#8220;Bookmarks&#8221; in your Google Doc to mark where a new entry begins (e.g., &#8220;October 7th \u2013 PCB Design&#8221;). You can then copy the direct link to that heading and paste it into the timesheet. This method turns your timesheet into an interactive table of contents for your logbook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#248fd4\">Example Digital Logbook<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>View a sample of how to structure and format your digital logbook entries with proper documentation techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n<a class=\"cl-button   prominent\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1nEyR6lvpAAS7gU6TqzMLiR_2Rf7OdDUEUwjt6HRStd8\/edit?usp=sharing\" title=\"\">View Example Logbook<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#248fd4\">Example Timesheet<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>See how the automated timesheet calculates hours and links to specific logbook sections for efficient documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n<a class=\"cl-button   prominent\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1Vs8dX-fMJXzIpjutsFuoL9Vd9Nu5_1LmbjShmPxIpJM\/edit?usp=sharing\" title=\"\">View Example Timesheet<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:2rem\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size has-text-color\" style=\"color:#248fd4\">Your Responsibilities:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Save <strong>individual work<\/strong> (logbook, timesheet, capstone files, Weekly Progress Reports(WPR&#8217;s), Homeworks etc) in your personal sub-folder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Save <strong>group work<\/strong> (reports \u2013 Major Progress Reports(MPR&#8217;s) ) in the main team folder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep your timesheet and logbook updated on a weekly basis \u2013 crucial part of your grade and project success<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This structured approach ensures all your work is organized, easily accessible for grading, and creates a professional record of your capstone journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To help you stay organized and streamline the documentation process throughout the year, we have implemented a dedicated digital management system using Google Drive.
