Week 4 Update

 For this week our primary goal was to complete Deliverable 2. This meant plenty of time spent planning and strategizing how to use our time and structure our weeks in the future. We are using a Gantt chart to allow us to easily visualize the workload that we have and the things that will be upcoming. Each individual task has been given to a specific person or group of team members in order to maximize productivity.

Our second most time consuming from this week was working on the modules for expansion of ideas. We expanded upon the module work that we had done in class and we were able to identify things we needed to research for the specific needs in the modules. We also came up with a few more modules to expand upon for our project.

After researching various different topics within our 3 best strategies under our needs statement, we ended up choosing to go with an mechanically assistive lower limb device. This concept design is what was used to break down into various modules for design components. 

Natalie: In addition to working with the team on the above, I did more research for the ethics paper and finally picked a topic.
