The site where the project will be displayed.

Abstract

The purpose of this page is to show off the Alternative Transportation Wheel that our ERE215 group built for Friends of the Dunes.

Background

Our main goal of the transportation wheel is to get visitors of FOTD to think about the mode of transportation they used to arrive there and the corresponding carbon footprint that they have just produced.

Problem Statement and Criteria

Problem Statement

The objective is to create an interactive exhibit that will get visitors to think about their means of travel and the impact they are having on the environment.

Criteria

Criteria Weight Description
Cost 6 Cost of all materials shouldn't exceed 400 dollars.
Longevity 10 The exhibit shall remain in proper working order for a minimum of four months (June-Sept.).
Aesthetics 9 The exhibit shall have a visual appeal to visitors of the Nature Center and follow the color scheme of the existing structure and dune landscape.
Safety 10 The exhibit shall be safe for all users under normal conditions and labeled with all appropriate warnings.
Educational Value 7 The exhibit shall attempt to give the user a better understanding of the values held by FOTD.
Simplicity 9 The exhibit shall convey information in clear and concise manner.
Site Appropriate 10 The exhibit shall only convey information relevant to FOTD.
