Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Met with this quarter’s senior design team to observe their final presentation.
Figured out top priorities for next quarter.
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Planned/Finished our risk reduction component and presentation.
Finished working on individual component analysis.
Gained deeper understanding about the project requirements and its objectives.
Communicated and met with one of the sponsors to discuss next quarter’s aims.
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Obtain any feedback from current team's poster presentation.
Conduct more literature reviews to gain better understanding about the microneedling device, strengths/weaknesses of needles, and how to optimize current prototype.
Discuss ideas on better developments.
Finalize next quarter’s meeting times and plan on how to take action virtually.

Try to get into contact with sponsor.
Meet again starting Spring 2020 quarter.
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Main focus was to explore top priorities; talked to the sponsor about it.
Focus on how we can optimize the current team’s prototype.
Exploring needles, driving mechanism, and storage tank for further development
Think about possible optimizations for the current model: Creating a needle grid on Silicone, have a hollow storage tank to separate from the driving mechanism for the grid.
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
N/A
Risks and Areas of Concern
Structure or materials of needles may deform/break during injection.
Optimize size of current cartridge
Agent delivery system does not work as a whole
Energy could impact conditions of the injected agent.
Applying RF to the prototype.
Resources or Information Required but not Available
