Abstract
This engineering project researches the development and design of a low-cost solution to automatically watering a house plant. Looking at other automatic plant waters and analyzing the technological features, I was able to identify gaps in the market to create a product. This product pulls from previous market research, other automatic watering systems, and customer feedback to create a study that is an example of experimental learning. With future testing, the results from this study will assess the data collected from the product such as system accuracy, water efficiency, and its overall effectiveness. The project aims to create a product that automatically waters an individual’s house plant with minimal maintenance.
