Abstract
Background
Locally Delicious is a group of women collaborating on a new book titled "Lunch Box Envy." Several different Engineering 215 projects are to be included. The School solar dehydrator is one of them.
Objective and Criteria
| Criteria | Weight | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Safety | 10 | This is defined as a structure being stable enough for children, having safe building materials for food quality, and having a completely finished project to protect children against loose material or sharp edges. |
| Cost | 9 | Design must cost less than $300. |
| Reproducible | 9 | This is defined as the ease of following the directions and constructing the solar dehydrator. |
| Durability | 8 | This is defined as having a structure that is able to last two to three years with regular use by adults and children. |
| Weather Resistance | 8 | This is defined as the structure’s ability to hold up against all types of weather. |
| Ease of Use | 7 | This is defined as a structure that has a design that is easily operated on a child’s level. |
| Efficiency | 7 | This is defined as the project's ability to dry food quickly and to dry the food to the operator’s expectations of good quality dehydration. |
| Aesthetics | 4 | This is defined as the project with a presentable and school appropriate design. |
