Hi all,
I am a mechanical engineering student at Brigham Young University Idaho. As part of my curriculum this semester I am taking a product design class in which we have to design and build a working prototype of any product. The product that my group and I are going to design and build is a piece of playground equipment that generates electricity for African villages/schools. This has been done previously with a merry-go-round, and we are hoping to accomplish a similar outcome.
As part of our first assignment we have to come up with a list of prioritized customer needs. So I NEED YOUR HELP in determining what is important for this product to do for the children, school, communities, charities, assemblers and so forth. Any input you can provide as to what you think should be the needs of the "customer" would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
