MAE2250 Overall Project

This page provides the context for the MAE2250 client design project and explains how the SLF Grape Harvester work fits within the course deliverables.

The MAE2250 project is a semester-long mechanical design effort focused on solving a real-world agricultural machinery challenge. Our client brief from Cornell CALS Extension, E&J Gallo Winery, and National Grape requested a solution that prevents spotted lanternfly contamination during mechanical grape harvest.

Course project goals

• develop a practical solution to a client problem
• create milestones that include a client pitch, prototype, and final report
• communicate design reasoning, prototype testing, and recommendations clearly
• keep the proposed solution readable without relying solely on attached documents

Deliverables included

• Client Pitch (O3)
• Functional Prototype (O5)
• Client Report deliverable

Relationship to the SLF Grape Harvester

The SLF Grape Harvester page is the dedicated portfolio page for the MAE2250 deliverable. It includes the required anchor-linked milestones and a final client report summary that describes:

• the proposed solution and prototype
• how the system works and is used
• the conclusion and recommendation for next steps
