Module 5 – Verify
Module 5: Overview
- Module Objective 1: Students will be able to develop a prototype testing plan and analysis procedure (CLO1)
- Module Objective 2: Students will apply a test analysis procedure for prototype testing (CLO1)
- Module Objective 3: Students will be able to prepare structured summaries of design tool use and results that possess appropriate structure, grammar and tone (CLO3)
- Module Objective 4: Students will be able to function effectively in selected role (CLO2)
- Module Objective 5: Students will identify the appropriate manufacturing/assembly processes for building a functional prototype (CL04)
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. The teams will be developing a test plan to test in order to test performance of their prototype. The testing plan can use the team’s math model and/or DFMEA. The test plan will be implemented once the prototype is manufactured/assembled. The testing results will be analyzed and summarized. Two final report summaries(structured summary as part of final report) will be produced for this section. An industry perspective video (Vermeer Co.) on the design tools is included in this module.
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
- Consult with Boyd Lab about your testing plan to ensure equipment available
- Develop a test plan and implement it, and adjust testing if needed based on findings and/or other issues found during fabrication/manufacturing and testing
- Complete an ECN when changes are made during testing
- Submit module assignment(s):
The team must be focused on roles/responsibilities to complete this assignment. In order to successfully complete this assignment , teams will need to allocate work, considering roles/responsibilities. This interaction may take place in the classroom and on Microsoft Teams. The team will complete the DMADVR toolbox template(s) and submit to Canvas. A key to success is consultation with the Boyd Lab on test plans to ensure feasibility and equipment availability. The teams will need to be respectful of other team sections, and consult with Boyd only during this section or discuss with lab personnel. There are multiple sections and those teams also are consulting with Boyd during their class time. Time management is critical in getting testing completed & analyzed, and the final report drafts of this section.
Hint: Team roles and responsibilities are important and critical particularly at this part of the design process.
