Today's design review class presented an overview of what the semester would look like with effective due dates for deliverable material: Senior_Design_Milestones
In addition, we note that the project due date will be next week, October 23, 2012. Taking the critique of the review panel into consideration, we have decided that the bread maker, or proposed name Bake<sup>360</sup>, would be a suitable senior design project. Such a project will provide the necessary challenges throughout the course of a year to produce a quality design and product.
Beginning concepts of the design aims to produce a bread that is going to have a crust on all sides, thus, no typical container will be used for the holding mechanism such as a cookie sheet or a muffin pan. The proposed idea will aim to rotate the dough such that all sides are exposed to the open air of the oven.
Of concern at the moment is the usage of a dense dough, as a more liquid type dough can potentially fall off the holding mechanism. The design of the holding mechanism will be key as is the use of any motors or rotating devices subjected to the high temperatures of an oven.
