The 3D printing of the component was completed right on time for a demonstration of the adjustment system. In other words, the team has been able to successfully engage\/disengage the motors in response to pressure. More work is required to activate the motors for a relevant pressure application. Additionally, the team has been accepted to this year&#8217;s NEBEC conference. <br><br><strong>February<\/strong><br>Verification Protocols and Calibration of Sensors<br>Verification protocols are being worked on to ensure that the device has been made correctly. The code necessary for the round film sensors to function along side the microprocessor is being worked on in addition to the calibration of the sensors. <br><br><strong>January<\/strong><br>Beginning of Prototype Construction<br>The team has gathered most of the materials necessary to complete the prototype and is in the beginning stages of building the proposed device. The desired sensors and microprocessor have been acquires as well as two non-invasive ventilation masks. <br><br><strong>December<\/strong><br><br>December 6, 2023<br>Final Design Presentation <br>The team presented their final design solution for the AirEase mask. This presentation included requirements, specifications, justifications, verification and validation activities.
