Gather all of the documentation created from your team’s brainstorming efforts and review the design ideas that were generated.
Limb Enhancers
Prosthetics
Knee Helper
Mobile Air Purifier
Ionic Filter
HEPA Filter
UV-C Light
Vacuum
Mobile Autonomous Program- Roadrunner
Add any additional ideas that team members may have generated since the brainstorming session(s) and consider altering or combining documented ideas to create better concepts.
Ionic-HEPA Filter
As a team, select at least five (but not fewer than twice the number of team members in your group) of the most promising ideas from the concepts generated for further development. Document and justify your choices in your engineering notebook.
1. Ionic Filter- This type of filter represents a cheaper but effective alternative to a HEPA filter
2. HEPA Filter- This type of filter helps filter out the most abundant and dangerous particles from the air.
3. UV-C Light - Any alternative to the filter system that is light-based.
4. Vacuum - An extra feature to help filter the air or clean the floor.
5. Mobile Autonomous Program- Roadrunner- A TBD app or remote-based program.
Assign each of the selected concepts to a team member.
Mecca- Ionic Filter, HEPA Filter
Gage- Vacuum, UV-C Light
Shaugn- Mobile Autonomous Program- Roadrunner
For each assigned concept, perform additional research as necessary and refine the concept idea. Create a product concept document to include an annotated sketch using the Product Concept template. Be sure to include preliminary ideas about general size and shape, materials, and other product features that will be incorporated to address the design specification requirements. Note that each team member should be responsible for creating concept documentation for at least two different concept ideas. Insert your work into your engineering notebook.
Ionic Air Purifier
Product Concept number
#1
Designer(s)
Mecca
Product Description
A purifier that uses electricity to trap particles
Operation
As air is circulated through the system, negatively charged ions are produced and bind to airborne particles and allowing for the air to leave the system cleaner.
Justification
It is a cheaper but effective alternative to HEPA filters
HEPA Air Purifier
Product Concept number
#2
Designer(s)
Mecca
Product Description
A purifier that uses a thick pleated filter to trap particles
Operation
As air is filtered through the system with the filter, the particles are trapped by the pleated filter, and cleaner air results from the process.
Justification
It is a more expensive but more effective product in the cleansing of the air
UV-C Light
Product Concept number
#3
Designer(s)
Gage
Product Description
A light that utilizes ultraviolet light
Operation
It inactivates pathogens and microorganisms.
Justification
It helps in protecting from pathogens like coronavirus
Vacuum
Product Concept number
#4
Designer(s)
Gage
Product Description
A Cylindrical robot that has 2 drive wheels and one Omni wheel. It has 2 sweepers and a trash compartment that can hold quite a bit of trash.
Operation
It sucks up trash and dust particles from the environment it is in.
Justification
It allows for the environment to be clean on the ground level as well.
Mobile Autonomous Program- Roadrunner
Product Concept number
#5
Developer(s)
Shaugn
Product Description
An autonomous/manual program being developed in __ based on the ____ for autonomous movement and has the Tensorflow 2 library incorporated to allow the robot to see objects and follow them
Operation
Movement and Sensing for the robot
Justification
The program will allow for autonomous movement instead of manual movement, making more ease of access for physically challenged customers.
Conclusion Questions
Why is the design specification important when narrowing your choices of potential solutions?
It helps in making things less interpretative and allows for a more focused direction.
What advantages does the use of a sketch have over verbal communication when explaining a design concept?
The sketch helps give the visual aid needed to show a design and what parameters it will have based on it.
Why should you develop and refine multiple concepts before selecting a final solution?
It helps in identifying and fixing flaws and maybe adding features that would make the overall solution better.
