Following the basic principles of the engineering design process, this project spanned from initial problem research to presentation to a “board” of employed and respected engineers. In the end, my group of four classmates and I created a product called “BearFeet” to prevent blisters from forming on the feet of hikers out in the field. Complete documentation of the process can be found here as a forty-three page google document that includes market research of existing solutions, alternative designs, and design criteria among other subjects.
