Design Proposal


Background (summary), intent, research question, hypothesis
show sketches/diagrams (presentation quality) of your physical artifact.

Mockup

Describe process, fabrication methods (include photos), plan for completion (list of materials, supplies, budget, etc). electronic controls strategy. You should be able to get actual data from this mockup. Be sure to caption all photos.
