September 2017

During September, the team decided between two options for the project. The team thought designing a device for TMJD was best, since only three main devices are on the market and none of the options take into consideration the resistive jaw opening exercise accepted by physical therapists. Using this as the basis of the project, the team decided on five initial requirements to present and discuss. The five initial requirements were eventually finalized, along with five specifications. During the third week of the project, with requirements and specifications complete, the team began thinking of possible design solutions to satisfy the given requirements. After considering multiple ideas, realistic constraints were formed. After acknowledging the limitations of the device, standards were introduced.
