156A Week 9

During Last week, we have read the documents sent out by Dr. Hargans understand some background on our project. Since many of us lacked some knowledge in medical field and space, reading the documents helped understanding the objective and significance of our project. After reading the documents, our team decided to think about the high risk areas with our device.

After reading the documents and brainstorming on our design, there were some questions on functional requirements and parts that we were confused. During this week, we will reach out to Dr. Hargans through our meeting and email to clarify on some details on the device. After having many details clarified, as a team, we discussed on possible design solutions to successfully generate negative pressure.
