Abstract/Summary

Maddie Schroth-Glanz, from the Statistics Department of Cal Poly, requires a system that assists in the deployment and retrieval of a marine hydrophone used to record ocean mammal vocalization patterns, specifically in large whales. This report discusses the final design, including changes to the design after the Critical Design Review, and the tests that were done to ensure the final design achieves the specifications of the project. We will discuss everything from material purchases to manufacturing and assembly for all subsystems of the project, and then discuss how our testing justified the design choices we made. Finally, the report will discuss recommendations and further steps that can be taken to improve upon and complete this project. The appendices include a user manual, risk assessment of the final product, final budget, software, the design verification plan and report, and the test procedures that were followed.
