Overview

Students who need specific tools or components to complete engineering work are currently forced to conform to normal working hours to obtain these items from the shop in Coover Hall. This can lead students to incomplete projects or late entries on a short deadline, directly impacting a student's course success. Students need access to necessary items on a moment's notice, and waiting until the next day, or further if the student's schedule does not permit it, to obtain these items is becoming an impractical exercise.

Our design will be a vending machine that will operate at all times, allowing students to obtain the tools and components necessary at any time of day. The system will vend these items to the student based on a set of conditions, namely that the student only has a few items checked out at a time and the student is authorized to obtain items from the department.
