1. Mall of America (MOA) Request for Proposals
The Mall of America in Minneapolis, MN has designated an area of mall space to construct an indoor mini-golf course.
Mall of America executives have placed a call for design concepts from the leading design firms across the United States.
Your design team will be one of several teams who will pitch a design concept to MOA execs.
The winning concept will receive the contract to design and build a state of the art mini-golf course in the MOA.

2. Learning Objectives
Be able to work in an environment that includes remote team members.
Be able to use the Engineering Design Cycle to develop a high quality proposal for a client.
Be able to use Inventor 2015 to create part files and working drawings supporting your proposal.
Be able to present your proposal

3. Design Statement:
Competing design teams will submit a concept design containing 5 mini-golf holes illustrating the team’s overall idea for a mini-golf theme that will attract mall patrons.

4. Constraints:
All holes within a group/zone must have a consistent theme.
The concept design cannot exceed 25’ x 20’. Create your hole on a 25’ by 20’ by 1’ base. You will work in pairs on each hole. Most will be working with a partner from Pendleton HS.
Holes can be elevated up to 5’, but appropriate safety precautions must be taken.
All components of the hole must be less than 5’ tall.
Pathways as needed to move from hole to hole must be a minimum of 36” wide.
Holes can have some moving or animated parts. (optional)
All holes will have a standard tee off pad and scoring podium (these parts will provided by the project manager).
All 3D modeling should be done to FULL SCALE. Be mindful of scale and units!

5. Team Role: Design Engineer (DE):
Each design engineer pairs will provide:
Preliminary brainstorm sketches describing the layout of the 5 hole course/zone. This preliminary sketch should include:
the pattern of play
where the players will enter and exit each area
3D model assembly of a themed hole including:
moving or animated parts
tee-off pad and scoring podium (provided by the PM).
walking paths providing access to the hole (must be a minimum of 36” wide)

6. Team Role: Project Manager (PM):
The project manager is responsible for:
assigning teams of 2 (from different sites if possible)
provide a team layout diagram, assigning teams space
the design of a scoring podium
the design of a tee off pad
the design of 150 sq. foot equipment/retail office
one final team layout as an assembly drawing showing:
each hole designed by the team
a pattern of play outlining where players will enter and exit each area
assigning a team member(s) to put together the final presentation

11. How can you work in teams?
Developing team norms.

12. “The way our team will do things.”
Developing Team Norms
“The way our team will do things.”

13. Learning Objectives
To understand and be able to develop team norms for…
Interaction with teammates
File structure and organization
Communication how and when
Today you will create proposals to share with the rest of your team.

14. Team Norms
Team norms are a set of rules or guidelines that a team establishes to shape the interaction of team members with each other and with employees who are external to the team. 
What is a worst case scenario if team norms are not established?

15. Stagnant Pond or Flowing River
Ken Blanchard, of One Minute Manager fame, said that a river without banks is a pond. Likewise, a team without relationship norms leaves itself open to potential interpersonal problems

16. Brainstorm
With your teammates come up with three team norms that you think will help your team succeed. (Give some time to develop ideas)
Share one of your team norms with the class.

17. Sample Norms for Interacting with your team Here are some of the norms that project teams have found helpful:
Listen to what others are saying
Strive to understand each other's perspectives, rather than jumping to conclusions
Try to resolve problems without blaming
Send an acknowledgement in response to important messages
Respect "do not disturb" signs on people's cubicles
When you've made a commitment you can't keep, let the other party know as soon as possible
If you don't understand something, ask for clarification
If you see a problem that others haven't noticed, bring it to someone's attention
Treat clients' issues and concerns as valid even if you don't agree with them
If you think team members have a conflicting understanding of a project issue, bring it to their attention
Focus on the positive: what's working well, not on what's going wrong

18. Modifying your Proposal
Using the information you have learned from other teams and from the example put together three + proposals for team norms regarding interaction with team mates.
Include these in your PowerPoint

19. Team Norms: Organizing Files
File names
Folders
Revisions ….
Why would setting standards for these be important?

20. File Name Recommendations
The important take-away points from this article are: 1. The file-naming convention that your business uses needs to be understood by everyone in the organization. 2. File-naming conventions should help people find information quickly by scanning names or by looking for dates or other signifiers in the name. 3. Files that are "naturally-ordered" are easier to scan and sort. 4. Be consistent with naming conventions (Jill Duffy PC Mag)

21. Team Norms: Organizing Files
FIRST, A NOTE ON NAMING…
As different software uses different processes for naming and organizing, it’s best to avoid using things like special characters, symbols, and spaces in your naming.
Things to avoid include stuff like: and ? Here are a couple of examples of good and not so good names to use: BAD: 2013 Jill+Brian GOOD: 2013_JillBrian
BAD: Jill Brian Highlights GOOD: JillBrianHighlights
BAD: Jills & Brian’s First Class GOOD: JillBrianFirstClass

22. Things to consider including in your file structure
A file name that establishes…
Who created the file
Description of the part
Date created
Which modification
Consider a folder structure that will also help organizing information.
Types of files you will be working with: Part files, Drawing files, Individual and Group Powerpoints, Brochure, …
How will/can you use folders to keep your project organized?

23. With your group… Discuss file/folder structure norms for your group.
Come up with 1-3 proposals for your team
Share one ideas with the class.
