FromSarah Chen <s.chen@…edu>ToAmina OkoyeSubj.Capstone advising — hardware at small engineering counts

Amina —

I'm a senior working on a low-cost bioreactor for community college labs. I came across your hardware work at Mosaic — the two-to-forty-engineer scale, specifically.

We're hitting the same wall at five engineers, and I'm struggling with what to hand off first. The constraint we're under is a sub-$400 BOM, which I think is closer to your Mosaic v1 than your later work.

Would you have fifteen minutes in the next two weeks?

— Sarah
