This week has been very eventful for SurgiGauge!

We started off the week strong by preparing for Prototype Inspection & Tests Evaluation Day (PITED) coming up next week (Tuesday, 4/2). We presented our plan for PITED to the class, and they gave us great feedback for how to improve our plan.

Throughout the week, we continued to test our sensors, getting results that reflected our defined technical performance measures. The testing sub-team continued to use the Shimadzu UTM in the Materials Lab (link to their website: Weil Hall Structures and Materials Laboratory – Engineering School of Sustainable Infrastructure & Environment (ufl.edu)) to validate the sensors.

At the end of the week, SurgiGauge met in the lab all together to assemble the first our two final prototypes. This marked a successful milestone for the team, as we were able to see the completion of our work toward fully integrating the mechanical and electrical subsystems.
