Peer Prototype Review

I had the chance to review the prototypes of my classmates as we all had the chance to create a prosthetic for Squirrell, a disabled dog.

Group C: Mohammed, Ella, Gracie, Kennedy

“Da branch” was the name of the prototype.

• Brainwriting was used to illustrate the idea.

  • along with creating a materials list.

• Design process: created a basic and clear engineering design process

• Mishaps:

  • Lost supplies twice

• Why they should be selected

  • Lots of thinking into the process

  • Stabilize legs with more assistive modelling

  • vest/rubber legs for mobility

Group B: Charlie Anne, Alex, Chloe, Joslyn

• Wheely was the name of the prototype

  • Brainstorming process:

    • leash/harness was needed

    • Rubber boot was eliminated

    • Wheelchair with four wheels (selected model)

  • success/fails

    • Wooden wheels fail/ pool noodle

  • Why them?

  • takes pressure of undeveloped foot; wheels can brake, comfortable
