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

  • Start drawing CAD designs
  • Draw some semi-final designs
  • Do research on more of the science behind our project
  • Create presentation for poster day




Summary of Team Role Accomplishments

  • Leader Michael Petri- Led group in detailed potential final design drawings. Started to finalize which plans were going to become part of the final design.
  • Communicator- Connor- will be in touch with the client with questions and reporting our progress
  • Team- Put together the presentation for poster day and drew up future plans



Summary of Design Accomplishments

  • The presentation for poster day was created and mostly finalized.
  • The brainstorming list was practically finallized and we opened up more categories when it came to materials so we could make more educated decisions.
  • We are leaning towards using car jacks in our design, and discovered a potential new idea of a motorcycle jack
  • We determined which pitch adjustment would work the best

This Week's Goals/Individual Goals

  • All-draw up CAD designs for design use and poster.
  • All- Make final decisions on materials to be used for both the desk top as well as the base.
  • All- Start ordering parts
  • All-Finish poster for poster day

Project Difficulties

It is hard to know what our actual machining abilities are going to be when it comes to building the designs that we have been drawing.

Project Schedule

We are on track according to the schedule that is in our project powerpoint

Expenses

We have yet to purchase anything, therefore, there are no expenses.
