Abstract/Summary

This document describes and outlines the details of the senior project completed by a team of four mechanical engineering students in their final year at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. The team worked with Linda Wolff at California Children’s Services to reach their main goal: to create an exercise tricycle that can be used by Savannah. Savannah is a young adult, and she needs to be able to steer, brake, and power the tricycle using almost entirely her core muscles. Over the course of the project, the team worked to design and build a safe and functional tricycle that satisfies Savannah’s exercise needs. Overall, this document gives details about the project process and describes how the team performed so that the project was a success. Included in the report is the project introduction, background, objectives, concept design, final design description and justification, manufacturing description, design verification, and project management which each discuss the background product research, milestones that were reached, details of the tricycle design, the manufacturing and assembly process, testing, and more detailed plans as to how the team’s goals were met.
