First, I spoke with all the group members and found out about the different wires and lines for the car. Then, I brainstormed several concepts that would help mount or lines and wires. I then chose from the many ideas to find which mounts would best work on the solar car.

The Solar Car would have many wires and lines running through it and the team needed to keep them organized, secure, separate, and safe. Brackets would need to be designed and implemented to accomplish this goal.

The Solar Car would have many wires and lines running through it and the team needed to keep them organized, secure, separate, and safe. Brackets would need to be designed and implicated to accomplish this goal.

I learned that there can be many solutions to a single problem. I also learned how the design process works and how hard it is working with others in a group on a single project.

The mounts were weighed against one another based on their characteristics. After a final design option was chosen, I developed the final design for the bracket.

Summary of Problem Statement

Since the rules for the American Solar Challenge require that solar cars be equipped with a method of clearing the windshield of rain, the University of Utah Solar Car needed a windshield wiper.

Summary of Approach

First, I researched how windshield wipers in a regular car operate. Then, I brainstormed several concepts that would hopefully eliminate any dependence on electrical energy to power the wiper mechanism and allow the wiper to operate on the unusual shape of the canopy. I developed several metrics by which to judge the refined concepts generated during brainstorming and further developed two designs.

Summary of Results

After further development, the design options were weighed again based on the most important characteristics. After a final design option was chosen, I developed the final design for the wiper.

Lessons Learned

I learned that although there are several possible solutions to a problem, there usually is a best solution for the particular situation to which a solution must be applied. I also learned about the design process and the several iterations and considerations that go into choosing the best design for a solution.
