To get a sense of how the new engineering fees might work out for your project, here are a few examples of recent projects and the time DAW worked on them:
| Project | Time spent |
|---|---|
| Re-engineer a commercial light stimulation system to ensure linear output | 28 hours |
| Put together a miniscope | 8 hours |
| Initial design for a fiber optic fluorescence system | 7 hours |
| Custom machining ultrasound rubber to different thicknesses | 1¾ hours |
| Help a student design an optogenetic stimulation light path | 1½ hours |
| Adapt a camera mount | 1½ hours |
| Heater for a behavior box | 1 hour |
| Help a graduate student build a copy of our “screen reader” | ½ hour |
Before starting on any major project, we will give you an estimate of how much time we will spend on it.
Some projects are harder to estimate than others. If we come to realize that our initial estimate was overly optimistic, we will contact you before spending additional time.
