Last week, we got to meet with our liaison engineers, Troy and Elizabeth! During this meeting, we also got approval for the name and logo for our team (see below)!

The name ‘Saline Sync’ represents the goal of our project to provide precision saline delivery. Within the logo, the gear and syringes represent the combination of the engineering and medical fields into one project. The syringes create an ‘X’ to represent the ‘X’ in Arthrex, who is our sponsor.

From our meeting with Troy and Elizabeth, we gathered enough information to begin brainstorming our own ideas of what our project will look like. Our team decided to create our own individual designs and to come together to discuss our ideas. We ended up with three rough sketches of the general overview of the product, the electrical components, and the mechanical components. Though this is a great start, we have learned that there are still more questions that need to be answered by our liaisons before we move forward with these designs. In the meantime, we will be researching how proposed mechanisms for the project work!
