This week the team was focused on working on the PDR presentation and the PDR report. These assignments are the basis for the team’s prototype design. After identifying the main subfunctions that this project must perform, which are sensing pressure, retrieving data, storing data, and visualizing data. We then identified multiple solutions for each of these subfunctions and organized them into a concept combinations tables. Then, we were able to propose four possible prototype designs and then compare them in a concept screening matrix.

All these tools were definitely helpful for us in the process of decision making and definitely will use them again on future product design projects!
