Week 1 - What's Next

What's Next
So far, we have identified a sector with markets that we would like explore, and are planning to create a survey to gather opinions. This survey will help us identify what needs could be filled by a new product and will guide our product selection process. We plan to evaluate several technologies with varying physical characteristics and select the one that appears to fit closely with what our market wants, is economically feasible and is something that is reasonable for us to complete in a semester. After speaking to Dr. Luntz about smart materials, we are excited to begin the selection process and explore how we can make the technologies he presented to us into useable and manufactureable products!
