Final Challenge Scoring - Logbook Facts: 25% of the overall Score 50% of Documentation awards

Final Challenge Scoring - Logbook Logbook included in Panasonic parts kit. All project work should be recorded Completed pages should be signed and dated to establish a chronology See instructions printed in the front of the logbook, including: Use ink Record all meetings Include all raw data

Final Challenge Scoring - Logbook Each logbook will be evaluated by at least two judges. In keeping with the rules of the design challenge and basic purpose of the engineering logbook, the logbook will be judged in three categories: Logical/Chronological Flow of Ideas: The process leading to the final design must be substantiated either in theory by calculation or empirically by experimentation. Proof of Performance: Evidence of operation of the device within design parameters, including final test results. Adherence to Logbook Procedures: Basic "housekeeping" practices as outlined in the rules and logbook including signatures, dates, titles, table of contents, etc.

Final Challenge Scoring - Logbook Each book will be evaluated by at least two judges. Score Sheets (Rounds 1 & 2) 2 Weeks to Judge

Grading Engineering Logbook …. Should have enough information that a colleague should be able to understand your decisions, reasoning and reconstruct your work. Device performance … Oral presentation … Detailed documentation of their work …….

Logical / Chronological flow of ideas The process leading to the final design must be substantiated either in theory by calculation or empirically by experimentation (60 Points) Project/Idea Description – 15 pts Details of design processes – 20 pts Flow of ideas – 20 pts Valued credit - 5 pts

Proof of Performance Evidence of operation of the device within design parameters, including final test results (30 Points) Explanation of performance testing – 10 pts Details of preliminary competition – 10 pts Details of final testing – 10 pts

Adherence to logbook procedures Basic “housekeeping” practices as outlined in the rules and logbook including signatures, dates, titles, table of contents, etc. The format is neat and readable – 16 pts Entries are signed and dated properly – 12 pts No Blank or Missing pages – 12 pts Errors properly corrected 12 pts References to other pages/figures are properly noted - 8 pts

Judge Name: Judge Doe Date: 4/6/12 Comments … The team did not read the logbook guidelines. The book has no description, detailed problems nor solutions, only taped diagrams. This is an example of what not to do. The team did not discuss the final testing after the changes were made. The problems were documented but the testing of the final design is omitted. I am very impressed with the proof of performance from this team. They clearly explain the problems and the way to go about resolving the issues. Good job. Left a page blank on pg 166 but were consistent with the guidelines. No penalty awarded. Judge Name: Judge Doe Date: 4/6/12
