Biological Engineering

Step 7. Deploy and debug.
Deploy and debug the system under the targeted working environment with
permanent hardware connections until everything works as expected.
We leave this step of making the permanent hardware connections for you to
complete if interested. In practice, the packaging of the overall system will be
designed to accommodate the working environment. The completed final product will
be tested extensively for durability and reliability.
Step 8. Document the system.
Write documentation such as system specifications, wiring diagram, and user’s manual
for the end users. At this stage, an instruction and safety manual would be written,
and, if necessary, the product can be sent for local certification. Now the system you
developed is ready to be signed off and handed over to the end users!
