Team #5: Total Resources Relative total estimated to be 750 man-hours, however this may change due to team member expertise or un-expected events such as interviews or medical emergencies. $200 available budget for material and prototyping Summarize your individual and team commitments to the project !!

Team #5: Decision Making Upon decisions within all project guidelines we will discuss creative options and try to come to a conclusion. If multiple conclusions are reached, we shall decide on one pending a vote amongst all members. If teams cannot make effective decisions according to their agreed upon guideline, they may appeal to their Lab Assistant and upwards to the Prof/Lect The Prof/Lect has the final call on any team decision

Numerical Rating per Project Numerical Rating per Project Idea   project #1 project #2 project #3 project #4 project #5 Represents product development with a market. 5 Has performance requirements that differentiate. 3 4 Utilizes Expertise of all team members. 2 1 Can be described in verifiable requirements. Is not dependent upon any large technology inventions. Utilizes components within reasonable lead times. Can be prototyped to demonstrate reasonable functionality. Can be block diagramed with logical and concise interfaces. Sufficient scope for min 1 block per member. Totals 44 32 38 35 36 Rating scale: 1(min)→ 5(max)

Project Selection Process for Project 1 Does utilize Expertise of all team members Sean Kuter is an amateur herpetologist (he has a snake) Does not require large technology inventions Most components exist and are not “hi-tech” Can be easily prototyped Sean owns a terrarium with snakes All components have reasonable lead time Most of the needed components can be ordered on the internet

Project Selection Process for Project 2 Components require excess technology inventions No available heating element for in line water heating Lead times will be excessive due to custom parts We will need to custom build a shower head with a heater Prototype would require a water source No water source in EMS lecture halls Team members do not possess adequate expertise to implement this design No experience with heat transfer

Project Selection Process for Project 3 Problems differentiating from existing products RFID devices exist and are already going to market Team does not have expertise in RF Prototype would be costly and hard to implement Components do not have reasonable lead times

Project Selection Process for Project 4 Team does not have expertise in the Medical Field The approval process for medical devices is lengthy The prototype would be difficult to make The technology exists but we would need to reinvent much of it

Project Selection Process for Project 5 Require extensive and precise mechanical construction Prototype will have large dimensions Demands in depth technology for control
