Week 5
Feb 16th, 2012 by Nav Dhaliwal
As mentioned in the previous blog, we were preparing for the final presentation. We gave our final presentation this week on Feb. 14. The presentation provided our client with a detailed knowledge about our design, including the working mechanism of the waste receptacle. We also discussed about different options which could be added to the final design. The final Exhibit Concept Document (ECD) was also submitted at the presentation. The client provided us with very constructive feedback, and also discussed some practical design changes that could happen, to ease the operation of the waste receptacle. For example, in our original design the garbage inside the bin can be accessed by opening the top of the waste receptacle. This mechanism makes it hard for the person who is responsible for changing the garbage to pull the garbage out. Instead there could a door on the side, which could be opened and the garbage bins can be slid out.
