Engineering H193 - Team Project P. 5Spring 2008 Documentation Areas (Sets) Management Set –Project Schedule, Status Assessment Reports, Configuration Management, etc. Requirements Set –Design Problem Statement and Specification, etc. Design Set –Brainstorming Ideas, Architecture, Design Sketches, Calculations, Data Charts & Graphs, Photographs, etc. Implementation Set –Source code, manufacturing drawings, etc. Deployment Set –Release documentation, final report, etc.

Engineering H193 - Team Project P. 6Spring 2008 Documentation Naming A key process area for maintaining organizational consistency and repeatability Important for ISO certification

Engineering H193 - Team Project P. 7Spring 2008 Notebook Requirements In a 3-ring (2.5 or 3 inch) binder for this class Table of contents and tabs for major sections (put those in NOW and add/modify as needed – keep it organized from the beginning) Should truly allow someone to repeat your project Must be neat--sketches and drawings on engineering problem paper or grid paper Checked weekly Turned in on last day of class

Engineering H193 - Team Project P. 9Spring 2008 The Writing Component At the end of the quarter your team will have to submit a final engineering report. Drafts will be written along the way. Read Chapter 6 in Writing as an Engineer (WE) to make sure that your project notebook has sections for all of the things that you will need to refer to as you write your final report.

Engineering H193 - Team Project P. 10Spring 2008 Brainstorming Ideas and Strategy Documentation

Engineering H193 - Team Project P. 11Spring 2008 Sketches Of Strategy & Brainstorming Ideas Write or sketch strategy - how your team will attack the problem (multiple scenarios should be considered and ranked because strategy will change with time) Each potential concept should be briefly sketched to capture the idea Sketches to be done on engineering problem paper & put in notebook Initial sketches will likely focus only on a particular feature or idea -- not necessarily a complete robot

Engineering H193 - Team Project P. 16Spring 2008 The Next Activity View a video about the starter kit and about caring for the Handy Board. Remember teams are responsible for the care and housing for their robots, notebooks, Handy Board, etc. Also Remember !! – Your team is officially designated with a letter and number – A-5, B-7, etc. All items will be assigned by team designation. All submittals must carry the team designation. There will be specifications later for your robot ‘flag’ or label that will carry the team designation for the competition.
