Module 4A – Design
Module 4A: Overview
- Module Objective 1: Students will be able to create a math model representing the engineering design functionality (CLO1)
- Module Objective 2: Students will be able to perform a design failure modes and effects analysis (DFMEA) on the engineering design prototype (CLO1)
- Module Objective 3: Students will be able to prepare engineering drawings using engineering graphics/CAD software for the final design (CLO1, CLO2)
- Module Objective 4: Students will identify the appropriate manufacturing/assembly processes for building a functional prototype (CLO1)
- Module Objective 5: Students will identify/locate locally sourced materials to use in the final engineering design prototype (CL01, CLO4)
- Module Objective 6: Students will be able to prepare structured summaries of design tool use and results that possess appropriate structure, grammar and tone (CLO3)
- Module Objective 7: Students will prepare a product cost calculation using a bill of materials and within budgetary constraints for the prototype (CLO1)
Module Highlights
In this module, students will review/read the content, including watching videos. Students will watch quiz-based/activity-based videos and complete test for understanding activities. This will prepare students for the teamwork activities of completing a design risk assessment (DFMEA), set of drawings with bill of materials (BOM) for one sub-assembly, and associated manufacturing process instructions (MPIs). The selected sub-assembly will be reviewed by manufacturing (Boyd Lab), and teams will make necessary updates to obtain design manufacturability approval from Boyd Lab. Students will work in their teams and arrange work in accordance with the workplace based on roles/responsibilities in allocation of work to complete assignment. Students will be able to prepare structured summaries of design tool use and results that possess appropriate structure, grammar and tone
Materials, Activities and Assignments
- Read/review module content in sequential order as setup in Canvas
- Watch embedded and associated module videos
- Discuss in-class and on MS Teams the work progress to ensure work is completed and submitted per Canvas due date
- Utilize Canvas templates to complete work as outlined in assignment document
- Utilize Solidworks to complete CAD work as outlined in assignment document
- Consult and work with Boyd Lab regarding design and part/components for sub-assembly and related manufacturing process to obtain approval for sub-assembly design
- Submit module assignment(s):
Student teams will use analysis skills to create an engineering math model, brainstorm possible failure modes for your design, and plan for future actions to eliminate failure modes. Students will be able to prepare structured summaries of design tool use and results that possess appropriate structure, grammar and tone.
In order to successfully complete this assignment , teams will need to allocate work, considering ro
