ONE member per TEAM will have access to the system.
That person should send me an asking for access.
I will send back a link with basic instructions.
Enter ONE order per vendor. Provide links, quotes, etc. No ebay. Amazon OK.
First stop is my desk, I’ll approve it, kick it back for more info, etc. as appropriate.
DO NOT enter an order and then send me an asking me to approve it ASAP.
DO NOT ask for overnight shipping without express (written, ) permission from your sponsor to absorb that cost.
DO NOT bother Kelly or Tina to “rush” your order.
You will get an from the ME staff when your items arrive. Pick up (generally) is in the ME mailroom PICK THE STUFF UP!!!

11. In the order dialogue enter your TEAM # when it asks for an “FRS” number
Within 24 hours
“processed” = next

15. Pugh Charts- What are they?
Dr. Stuart Pugh, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow Scotland
studied the way product and process development projects were performed.
Decision matrix ["pros" vs. "cons" lists]
evaluating multiple options against each other
often in relation to a baseline option.
Evaluate ideas
lists of characteristics
judging each idea - individual criteria
creates a more objective selection process.

16. Pugh Charts - Construction
Create a Table
list all of the project criteria (requirements) at a given level of detail in one column/row.  
Define Criteria
weighted by importance
arbitrarily laid out in whatever particular order suits those making the evaluations
For each criteria, decide if the option
the same (0)
better (+)
worse (-) than your datum
Tally the results to determine which idea is best.

18. Pugh Charts – Customize to Your Need
May want to weight some of the criteria more heavily
safety may be more important than portability
Use a weighting scale (1,3,5) to high light differences
Can also use a score of 1 – 10 vs 0,+,-
Clearly explain you scoring method !!

21. Simulation is a key part of Engineering
Does it make sense
Agrees with the physics
Meets the Boundary Conditions
Numerical results
What do results mean?
Communication
What Decisions are made

22. Unit Problems are Simpler problems that:
Demonstrate
you know how to run the software
compare results to known solutions
Simple experiments to generate important information
Breaks a complicated problem into simpler parts - analytical and experimental
Help develop your approach
Builds confidence
In your ability to simulate the more complicated problem
