With the ordering and the budget in mind we found it hard to almost impossible to built even a non-working prototype of our design, and our group... Continue Reading →
Before the create and innovate phase, M.O.M has been in the process of ordering the supplies for the breast pump and also using AutoCad Inventor to produce a 3D model of the design layout. Since this phase in the project is about the engineering and biomedical students coming together, there is areas that students from... Continue Reading →
Now that we have submitted and have had our design proposal approved along with our final design for our final breast pump. (Original Image From Sabrina Lomeli) The picture above illustrates how our final design will look under the clothes.

For this week our main focus’ will be discovering past art patents and writing our memorandum. Past art patents are patents that have already been put into place, we use these to be able to check to see if what we are designing has already been patented and if those patents are already in place. They... Continue Reading →
I am Kaiyla Washington the project specialist that will be the main designer and builder of our prototypes.The characteristics that I personally think I would bring into this project in just an open minded view. In order to get a perspective of the needs of a mom, research was done regarding usually asked questions when... Continue Reading →
Hello! This week my team, Mothers Matter, and I, Amanda Campos, dedicated our time to getting to know our customers. We researched what our mothers do/don't like about their current breast pumps and asked if they had any idea on how to improve them. Some of us conducted interviews with mothers that we knew in...
