Laurel Tree Charter School onderdonk's box

Abstract

The Fall 2012 Engr205 Introduction to Design class teamed up with their client, Laurel Tree Charter School, to design and build various projects around the school. The Current Specialists were formed to design and build an apparatus that could teach the principles of parallel and series wiring to 7th-12th graders in science classes at Laurel Tree. The Current Specialists are Conor Ritz, Nic Sabo, Arrow Walker, and Brian Weekly. Once the problem was formulated, brainstorming sessions, both formal and informal, were held in order to develop a number of alternative solutions. The solutions were evaluated based on a set of criteria formulated by the Current Specialists and Becca Schuler, a representative of laurel tree. A Delphi matrix and group deliberation was used to come to a decision on the best alternative. The final decision was made after the results of the Delphi matrix were presented to Becca. Onderdonk's Box was chosen as the final design because it most appropriately fit the criteria and the client's requirements.
