3. Development Assessment – Year 3
A digital portfolio of work in Development – submission via student central (60%)
Includes human factors (10 pages) and additional development story (materials, manufacturing, technical etc., 20 pages)
Deadline 23:55 hrs on Tuesday 9th May 2017
Format – pdf, word doc, PowerPoint, video content, (include HF report as specified by Eddy)…..
Professionally and effectively tell your development story, from the end of Ideation to your implemented solution.
Exhibition and viva (40%)
40 credit module – expect to spend 80 hrs creating the portfolio, exhibition material and viva prep.
You should be spending around 40 hrs a week including lectures through the process. Don’t cram at the end. Get busy now. Write up as you go. Daily diary! Project plan – updated and used!

Development – Chapter 2
How you identify and address technical challenges
These are project specific - One size does not fit all
This is a BSc degree – need to demonstrate the application of scientific theory in the design and development of your solution
Solutions need to be quantified and backed up with relevant theory – functional design and manufacture
Not an engineering degree. You have a wider skill set – appropriate depth
Product verification and validation
Relevant standards
M.Milne

12. Development Assessment – Year 3
Developing Technical content - Things to consider:
What defines product success
What makes your product fail to deliver it’s intended function/s
The Design FMEA is a good clue to the factors to consider
For example
Loads applied to the product
Electrical systems
Heat
Movement – prime movers
………
M.Milne

13. Development Assessment – Year 3
List:
Functions – what does your product do – PDS essential
Key systems – What key elements make up your product – System diagrams – Block diagrams of system and sub-systems
Structured BOM – multi-level are useful
Key skills required
Design FMEA – identify what can fail – risk – Defines your focus
Key activities – what can/will you do to satisfy technical development?
Use 1-1’s – If unsure - Am I doing too much/too little – Scope
M.Milne

14. Development Assessment – Year 3
Other deliverables:
Design for manufacture – materials and processes
BOM’s and assembly drawings
Technical Drawings
Verification and Validation
Verification – does your product do what you designed it to – meets PDS
Validation - Does it actually do what the user needs
And of course Model/s
Looks like, works like…..

Blaze
M.Milne

16. Development Assessment – Year 3
List: BLAZE
Functions – Projects a warning image ahead of user – increase safety
Key systems – What key elements make up your product
Laser system and optics, power supply, switches and controls, protective housing, mounting system
Key skills required – laser and optics, electrical, enclosure design
Design FMEA – identify what can fail – risk – Defines your focus
Laser system, power supply, moisture ingress, controls fail, housing breakage
Key activities – what can/will you do to satisfy technical development?
Emily had to get some laser/optics input but only to provide some feasibility grounding – it was possible
Focus was on power, battery sizing, housing design, laser safety, CE marking

17. Development Assessment – Year 3
Review your project using this checklist
Update your plan
Use your plan daily and create and use a daily action list
Use 1-1’s to discuss issues
We won’t solve your problems, but these help to give clarity and help you navigate around technical challenges. They will help to identify what areas to focus on, and those to park/black box to satisfy development.
Do go to 1-1’s with your suggested course of action, not ‘I’m stuck, what should I do’. Get used to this approach, in industry bosses and clients like to be presented with possible solutions not ‘tell me what you want me to do’!
Really OWN your work!
I will a google docs link where you can all post issues and we can target lectures on specific areas as required
