Project Overview

Image:Thirst.jpg Every day, more than 10,000 children under the age of five die of water-borne diseases and dehydration. These numbers are directly correspondent with the lack of clean drinking water throughout many parts of the world. The Second Generation UV Tube is one means through which this problem can be resolved. The project will expand upon last year's design to incorporate the disinfecting properties of UV light into a point-of-use product that will prevent the reproduction of harmful microorganisms. The product will need to withstand harsh conditions as well as the desire of people to strip it for parts. The project will be a study of engineering with heavy constraints, technological, economical, and societal.

Team Documents

This outline for the posting of team created documents follows the general product development process presented in the textbook "Product Design and Development" by Ulrich and Eppinger.

Portions of the team documents have been prepared by a DPM student prior to the launch of this project. This information is intended to help get the team started with a first draft needs assessment and work breakdown structure. The team members can adapt this information as the project progresses.

Keep in mind that everything you include in this web tree is visible to the world and the general public. If you have documents that reflect work in progress, or contain data that has not been fully vetted, then it may be better to include those internal working documents in the private section of the web tree, or in the project repository proper, outside of the web tree. Note that anyone with Guest or higher memberhsip in your project can read your entire project repository. Anyone with an Editor or higher membership can makes changes to your repository. All Observer members can view, but not edit, the web portion of your repository.

These links provide a basic starting point for your team to prepare a comprehensive web site about your project.

After you get started on the project, you may want to replace these introductory paragraphs with a photograph of your team. Near the conclusion of your design project, you may also wish to include a photo of your finished product.
