We are exploring options for developing an AguaClara business to separate the implementation side from the R&D effort. AguaClara Inc. will provide engineering services to implementation partners who in turn provide support services to community owned AguaClara water treatment plants. Of course, the goal is to keep communication between all levels of the AguaClara organization so that we can continue to improve the technologies based on feedback from the field.

Design team challenges (Tori Klug) 

The design team challenges are available in a separate google doc. The design team will consist of 4-8 students that will work on these tasks individually or in pairs. Desired (but not necessary) skills: Mathcad, AutoCAD, 4540, fluids, Spanish fluency, and engineering design experience.

The source file for the tables is Challenges Summer Fall 2012.xlsx.
