Evan and I presented our project to a panel of 3 engineers, where we were both judged and critiqued about our presentation and speaking capabilities.
Kristie William - Engineer – Foth Engineering
Roger Pavlis - Retired Engineer – 3M
Zach Thomson - Engineer – Anderson Windows
General feedback consisted mostly of requests for a smaller or lighter cart, although a majority of the people that saw the cart felt it was an improvement and our gym teacher, Mr. Mattson, personally thought that it was an already existing product on the market already.
One of the main things was the thought of how to cut down on the weight of the cart and make it easier to load or push at capacity as not everyone can use it to the best of their abilities as it was before it was dis-assembled to conserve materials and space. We considered different materials and their costs along with other ways to automate the cart or cut down on the amount of space taken or how much the cart itself weighed.
