Element K
This section looks back over the entire project and all of the steps that we have gone through. Reflecting on all of the elements of this project is important because we can take account of all of the hard work that we have put in as well as see what we did well, what we need to improve on, and what we learned. The EDD course is more about ensuring that you’ve gone through the whole engineering process than the actual product presented and we are proud of what we have accomplished.
Problem Statement
Many people don’t get the water they should, often because they are uneducated about how much they should drink or forget to drink. According to a survey sent to students and teachers at a school in 2022, about half of the people drink less than half a gallon. Additionally, research shows that 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated, and factors such as thirst, the temperature of water, the convenience of drinking it, and other psychological, behavioral, and environmental influences impact how much water people drink.
