The Dawn Solar Systems team worked on improving the efficiency of a roof-integrated solar thermal system used for residential hot water heating. Through the use of a comprehensive system model and a simulated roof test stand, the team predicted the type of design improvements that would increase efficiency while keeping the cost to within 15% of the baseline. A strategic marketing plan for Dawn Solar Systems was also developed.
The team's goal was to design a hardware system that combines an ultrasound medical imaging device with additional imaging modalities. This new system will simplify the current procedure for more effective diagnosis, decrease preparation and cleaning times, and improve the experience for the patients.
