Module 4B – Design Continued
Module 4B: Overview
- Module Objective 1: Students will be able to prepare engineering drawings using engineering graphics/CAD software for the final design (CLO1)
- Module Objective 2: Students will identify the appropriate manufacturing/assembly processes for building a functional prototype (CLO1)
- Module Objective 3: Students will create a purchase order for outsourced materials within approved budgetary constraints for prototype (CL01)
- Module Objective 4: Students will develop a plan for manufacturing and distributing with estimated associated costs based on prototype (CLO1)
- Module Objective 5: Students will be able to function effectively in selected role (CLO2)
- Module Objective 6: Students will be able to evaluate (give examples of good) teamwork contribution and collaboration (CLO2)
- Module Objective 7: Students will be able to justify own (self) teamwork contribution and collaboration (CLO2)
- Module Objective 8: Students will be able to prepare structured summaries of design tool use and results that possess appropriate structure, grammar and tone (CLO3)
- Module Objective 9: Students will identify locally sourced materials to use in the final engineering design prototype(CLO4)
- Module Objective 10: Students will be able to generate an expected profit and loss analysis using estimate costs and sales revenue (CL01)
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. Prior to fabrication/manufacture, the prototype design package must be reviewed to ensure manufacturability and costing are aligned with constraints provided (prototype fits in rubber/tote container). Prior to fabrication/assembly, a full design-drawing package and corresponding fabrication plan MUST be reviewed and approved by Boyd Lab and Instructor/TA. Additionally a final prototype cost needs to be completed, along with a final BOM. Purchased parts must be approved and then entered into the Purchase Order form. A written draft of this section (structured summary) of the final report will be completed, as well as Peer Review 2. All student teams will need to be focused on utilizing roles/responsibilities and workload allocation per project plan. An industry perspective video (Vermeer Co.) on the design tools is included in this module.
