1. Solid-State Prosthetic Arm
A Multidisciplinary capstone senior design project with the cooperation of mechanical (MAE) and electrical (ECE) engineering Departments
MAE 435: Status Update 2
Team:
Michael DiGiacomo
Peter Dinga
Joseph Flores
Taylor Jones
Shelby Nedrick (Team Leader)
Denzel Stewart (ECE)
Advisor: Onur Bilgen
Add Departments!!! BOTH MAE and ECE
Add Denzel!! – This is a multidisciplinary project.

2. Project Breakdown Structural Component Electronic Circuit Board
Artificial Muscle Bundle
DO not use “Figure X” in figure captions. (that practice is for papers only)
Fix this throughout the presentation.
