Final Class Design Project:
Design Study Comparing the Performance of Pulse Oximeter (Heart Rate Monitor) Prototypes Based on Competing Technologies.
- Project Requirements:
- Each MAE 3340 lab section will design, build, integrate and test prototype oximeter designs based on 1) photo-resistive, and 2) photo-generation technology.
- Each team will use the designs to evaluate team member resting pulse-rate and pulse-rate following vigorous activity (one round-trip up 4 flights of stairs in the ENGR building).
- Project team will use appropriate statistical analysis methods to make projections for the USU Engineering student body with regard to the resting heart rate and heart rate following vigorous activity (maximum heart rate).
- These projections will be compared to the USA population at large.
- Each laboratory section will work together as an integrated product team (IPT) with the entire team contributing to the development and testing of the final product.
- Project Deliverables:
- Final Written Report (100 points)
- Final Oral Briefing (75 Points)
- Peer Review Survey (25 Points)
- The oral reports will be presented during the last day of class, Friday April 24, 2015 11:30-12:45 MDT, and during the regularly scheduled final exam period, Friday May 1, 9:30-11:20 a.m.
- All presentations will be held in Fine Arts-Visual 150. Attendance is Mandatory. Please arrive on time. Presentations will begin promptly at 11:35 on the 24th and 9:35 on May 1.
- Each oral briefing will be 12 minutes long.
- Please time the briefing to allow 10 minutes of presentation, and 2 minutes of follow-up questions from the review panel.
