This week we outlined a concrete schedule for the next month with important deadlines, mocked up a CAD prototype of our design, and emailed our client to get feedback on our solution. We also reviewed the availability of each team member and decided on times that we could dedicate to prototyping and development. We reviewed […]

This week we brainstormed more solutions, with the intention of beginning narrowing using a Pew chart to a final solution. We also scheduled a time to watch an exertion test on the hand ergometer to help identify possible issues and look for limitations which we had not considered. We also began our progress report, which […]

This week we started to brainstorm solutions to our client’s problem. We came up with 14theoretical solutions. We also improved some of our design specs so that they would be lesslimiting and ensured that all of our specs had a metric. We also updated our lab notebook,making sure that every detail about this project has […]

We explored more possible solution designs. We have also made contact with our client about scheduling to see testing done with the machine. Their schedule is almost day to day so it is tricky to find a time that works for all parties.

This week we worked to refine and improve all of our specifications based on instructor feedback. We also identified each of the people we believe are key stakeholders in our project and evaluated their power and interest. We also gathered background information highlighting the importance of our project. We also identified each of the existing […]

Current Project Status  This week we updated our needs statement while referencing feedback from the instructor, and modified a few specifications in response to feedback. We are planning a meeting to revisit the ergometer in person to generate more specifications and refine our existing ones. We have begun drafting our preliminary report. Questions  We have […]

Current Project Status  This week we worked on creating and refining our needs statement, project scope, and initial specifications, based on the meeting we had with Dr. Morgan and Dr. Tucker last Thursday. We worked to ensure our specifications were created with Universal Specifications in mind. We also started to create our web page. We […]
