Improving the world through engineering 1 Design Feedback Session 2010 Neill Anderson Head Design Judge Alex Hickson Deputy Head Design Judge

Improving the world through engineering judges from across engineering industries Who Are The Judges?

Improving the world through engineering 3  What Are The Design Judges Looking For?  What Got The Top Teams into the Final?  What We Were Impressed With?  What We’d Like to See Improved?  What Can FS Do to Help You?  How Can FS Help Improve Judging? Why Are You Here?

Improving the world through engineering 4 WHAT is it we want in Design?  What  Why  Data

Improving the world through engineering 5 Pre-Event Design Report Spec Sheet Impact Attenuator Report At Event Well Prepared Car Prepared & Knowledgeable Team Evidence HOW do you do this?

Improving the world through engineering 6 Penalties (>0) Design Report 73% Spec Sheet 64% Impact Attenuator 63% Relevant Documents Guidance FSAE Rules FSAE Rule Clarifications & Examples Impact Attenuator Report Grading Document FS Specification And Design Report Penalty Guide 2010 Design Report Guidance (Learn to Win Presentation) Pre-Event Documentation

Improving the world through engineering 7 What Made the Finalists Stand Out?  Great on the Fundamentals Understanding (the customer & how to deliver what they want) Overall Concept Fully Researched Design (Theory/Calcs, Functionality & Integration) Execution Testing/Validation/Development Evidence (parts, reports, data tables, calculations, video, pictures etc)  Excellent engineering  Very few areas could be criticised in the teams’ knowledge or the car (Design, Presentation & Execution)

Improving the world through engineering 8 Interesting FS 2010 Focus on Fuel Economy Direct Injection Petrol Engine Sustainability Becoming a Bigger Part of Competition Top Teams Considering Cost in Design Exceptionally Knowledgeable Teams

Improving the world through engineering 9 How Can You Help Us?  Provide Feedback  Use Online-FS Question Database  Take What You Learnt and Apply it  Provide the Feedback to your Team  Provide the feedback to your University  Spread the Word of FS  Become Design Judges?

Improving the world through engineering 10 What Are We Going To Do Better? Areas already being considered: Penalties (prompt, evaluate & communicate prior to event) Moderation (all avenues e.g. training/process being explored) Guidance (clarity/finding information, guidance documents) Report (contents & structure) Car (Fundamental Design Philosophy Tips)
