Join Nikolas Collina, Anna King, Jake Maier, and Cristina Youwakim in their mission to design, test, and market a device allowing individuals to walk on water. Stakeholder involvement, design sketches, material selection, prototype improvements, and final thoughts are detailed. Key stakeholders include team members, consumers, users, waste management, suppliers, manufacturers, and investors. Through rigorous criteria analysis and design matrix assessments, the team identified the optimal design. The project also covers material calculations, bill of materials, prototype testing, and areas for further enhancement. Explore the journey of this innovative project team.

Walking on Water Engineering Designs 100 section 12 Nikolas Collina, Anna King, Jake Maier, Cristina Youwakim Team 5: Water You Talking About
Our Mission is to design, test, manufacture, and market a functional device that gives an individual the ability to successfully walk on water while functioning well as a team.
Table of Contents • Stakeholder Involvement • Sketches • Choosing Design and Materials • Improving Prototype • Final Thoughts
The following stakeholders are interested in the success of this project. • Team Members • Dr. Colledge • Consumers • Users • Waste Management • Suppliers • Manufacturers • Investors
The stakeholders want the following: (in order of importance) • Price • Quantity • Durability • Safety • Aesthetics • Can it do anything else?
The final step was determining what exactly this product had to be able to do. • Maximum weight (200 lbs) • Stay afloat for the length of a pool • Stable enough to support someone’s wight • Portable • Durable • Fun for the user • Cost $100 or less (for us and consumer)
We had several ideas about what our design should have looked like. Figure 3: Christina’s Idea Figure 2: Nick’s idea Figure 1: Anna’s Idea
We used design matrixes to determine which idea would work best according to our specifications. Chart 1: Pairwise Matrix
Based on our criteria, there was a clear winner for our design. • Idea with score over a 3 • Ranked with a plus five on non weighted matrix
For our calculations, we took several approaches in order to determine what would actually float. Chart 3: Calculations
Our Bill of Materials was not very complex. Chart 4: Bill of Materials
