1. Skylight: A day + night skylight that used a solar panel to power leds and provide light at night.
2. Gas valve: A timer controlled valve that was intended to shut off the flow of gas to an oven.

Analysis was conducted on both the skylight and gas valve.
-
"Sketch Models" were created using low cost and simple methods.
-
In-class presentation given on both to convey ideas and recieve feedback.
Results
-
Ultimately it was decided that the skylight would be the superior choice.
-
The gas valve project would not last the entirety of the semester.
-
Lessons were learned from both projects; especially about thescale of the skylight.
