Problem Statement
Our client has asked us to design a
standing desk with a budget of $200 that can serve as an alternative to the
conventional seated desk. Studies have shown that sedentary behavior for long
periods of time cause, not only, health problems like obesity and
musculoskeletal problems, but also issues with productivity. A standing desk would aim to provide a
solution to these major problems with features such as comfortability, pleasing
aesthetics, durability, safety as well as adjustability of both the height and
pitch of the desk, which would all be keys to the design.
Last Week's Goals
• Organize and label all materials
that came in (including wood, jack, and hinges)
• Material testing
-Scissor jack - experimented with the
crank, brainstormed other handle and possible drill functions to improve crank
efficiency, tested productivity with various weights, decided crank is
sufficient.
-Wood - marked which pieces of wood
will be used for each function, sorted pile according to size.
-Hinges - tested leverage of metal
brackets with maximum amounts of weight, decided how much leverage will be
given as well as where the hinges will be attached to the wood.
Summary of Team Role Accomplishments
• Leader Piero Gasparri - Figured out
woodworking capabilities, planned on getting green pass for larger materials
that need to be cut - essential.
• Communicator - Connor- In touch
with client with questions and reporting group progress.
• Team – collaboratively helped with
testing materials before beginning fabrication. Used body mass to test capacity
of jack and hinges. Measured all details for cuts and drillings. Agreed upon
quality of all materials.
Summary of Design Accomplishments
• Materials are ready for fabrication
(standards-wise).
• All measurements are finalized.
This Week's Goals/Individual Goals
• Work on some aesthetics before
fabricating materials (sanding, painting).
• Get green pass for ability to cut
larger wooden materials.
[1] • Cut wood into desired pieces.
• Decide which materials will be
ordered next with the remaining $65.
Project Difficulties
Fabrication is the next stage of our
design process. We expect many problems to arise, we plan to counter these
problems with alternative building methods or material enhancement. We found
ourselves in a short delay once we realized the necessity of a green pass as
well as a red pass. We also misplaced a
few materials so we made sure to adequately label and organize them.
Project Schedule
We are on track according to our
personal schedule.
Expenses
We have used around $135. We have a
generous amount of room for the smaller parts and plan to finance the amount
according to priority.

Last Week's Goals
•
Begin to order necessary parts
•
Motorcycle jack
•
Wood
•
Track system
•
Figure out exactly how we plan to assemble desk
•
Continue working on drawing out the detailed
measurements or part required (E.g. numbers of pin, hinge, screws).
Summary of Team Role Accomplishment
•
Leader: Connor Gallaher - Led group by organizing
groups to work on initial assembly. Kept
group organized and on task.
•
Communicator: Connor Gallaher - Will be in touch
with the client with questions and reporting our progress.
•
Team: Discussed the types, the dimensions and the
costs of the materials (wood and motorcycle jack), and ordered the materials.
This Week's Accomplishments
•
All materials we ordered shipped
•
Began initial assembly; “rough draft”
•
Put some parts together to help visualize final
product
•
Marked up wood with our dimensions
Project Difficulties
•
Need to begin working in the shop to cut wood, assemble
materials, etc.
Project Schedule
•
I feel that we are on schedule, as we have almost
all materials and are beginning the building phase.
Expense
•
Wood and drawer: $68.11
Motorcycle jack: $66.95 (shipping included)

Problem
Statement:
The United Cerebral
Palsy of the Greater Dane County (UCP) would like a way to involve the adults
with disabilities in their cooking skills class to have more independence in
the cooking process. Our goal is to design a semi-mobile cart that allows for
easier food preparation, through multiple features to assist these students
with disabilities with the cooking process. We would like to be able to make
the cart usable for a wide range of people. The University of Wisconsin-
Madison is allotting $200.00 for this project with the possibility for grants
up to $200.00, as well. The hope is to be able to share the design with others
that would find it to be helpful.
Team
Goals for the Week:
Start
Fabrication of project if possible
Continue
to work on the final report
Get
dimensions from parts for the Solidworks design
Summary
of Team Role Accomplishments:
Leader:
Christopher Poellinger discussed with the team at the beginning of the lab what
could be worked on during the lab.
Communicator:
Madeline Ford set up a Google document for the final report that could be
edited by the team.
Team:
The team worked on the final report during the lab. Also, the team did a mockup
of the table with the legs and a piece of cardboard to get a better idea of
dimensions of the table. The dimensions of the table legs were measured so they
could be replicated more accurately in Solidworks. The team also tested the
adaptive switch.
Summary
of Design Accomplishments:
A
rough draft of the final report was started and can now be edited by the team.
The adaptive switch was also tested during the lab.
Goal’s
for Next Lab:
Start
fabrication of the cart.
Continue
working on and editing the final report.
Project
Timeline:
Week 11-14:
Begin
and complete fabrication of the project
Finish
the final report
Prepare
