Fundamentals of Engineering for Honors - Team Project P. 20 Spring Quarter 2003 Working Agreement Elements Communication Participation Decision making and problem solving Managing disagreements Responsibilities and expectations Conduct during meetings Conduct between meetings From: Tools and Tactics for Design Teams

Fundamentals of Engineering for Honors - Team Project P. 21 Spring Quarter 2003 Working Agreement The working agreement is a critical document. It should be 1 – 2 pages in length and all should sign it. It is for you and your teammates - not the staff!! If there are team problems, you will be asked how your working agreement says that they should be handled. Your responsibility is to your team NOT the staff ! (We just keep score !)

Fundamentals of Engineering for Honors - Team Project P. 22 Spring Quarter 2003 The Design Process Statement of the problem Requirements and constraints Preliminary concepts (brainstorming) Building a mockup Analysis Select final design and refine it Build prototype Test prototype Modify prototype Final test Documentation

Fundamentals of Engineering for Honors - Team Project P. 23 Spring Quarter 2003 Brainstorming One of several good creative stimulation methods Use to generate a lot of ideas Problem should be well-defined FIRST ! Consider designating a moderator and recorder Group diversity is often beneficial From: Tools and Tactics for Design Teams

Fundamentals of Engineering for Honors - Team Project P. 24 Spring Quarter 2003 Guidelines For Brainstorming Criticism is ruled out Creative and imaginative thinking is encouraged Quantity is the metric Combining and extending are good From: Tools and Tactics for Design Teams

Fundamentals of Engineering for Honors - Team Project P. 25 Spring Quarter 2003 Brainstorm a Solution Entire class will be involved Don’t criticize As many ideas as possible In Autumn Quarter we looked at solutions for worker transportation with plant relocations – an infrastructure problem

Fundamentals of Engineering for Honors - Team Project P. 26 Spring Quarter 2003 Product or Infrastructure Problem Students have to carry many things to class – –Books, Notebooks, Calculator, Backpack –+ ? (Class helps fill in the blanks) Is there a way to lighten the load and make the learning process more efficient?
