5. 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 !!

6. 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

Rating scale: (min)→ 5(max)

19. 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

20. 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

21. 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

22. 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

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