Capstone Design Step 2: Generation of Alternative Concepts

Firm up your three design concepts by sketching them up in the form of concept drawings.
Functionality (i.e., how it works) should be clearly indicated in the drawings through the
use of labeling and text.

Possible Combinations:
1. Vertical wide dispersion waveguide with Bluetooth compatibility (1A, 2A, 3E, 4E, 5E)
2. Cylindrical wide dispersion waveguide with Bluetooth compatibility (1C, 2A, 3E, 4E,
5E)
3. Kitchen cabinet soundbar (1D, 2E, 3E, 4C, 5A)
4. Cylindrical speaker (1E, 2C, 3E, 4E, 5E)

Sketches:
1. Vertical wide dispersion waveguide with Bluetooth compatibility
We have two sketches to show two different possibilities of our design, following the same
combination of subfunctions.
