1. Engineering H193 - Team Project Spring Quarter Gateway Engineering Education Coalition P. 1 Laboratory Quiz & Data Analysis and Presentation for Written and Oral Reports Week 6 Day 2

2. Engineering H193 - Team Project Spring Quarter Gateway Engineering Education Coalition P. 2 This Week Friday is Robot Performance Test Four – –Choose a side of the course –Read the start signal from the start light –Go to Plant task priority code IR beacon –Read task priority code –Print task priority code on LCD screen –Go to steel coil object location –Go up ramp to steel coil object drop off location –Stop

3. Engineering H193 - Team Project Spring Quarter Gateway Engineering Education Coalition P. 3 Data Analysis and Presentation Possible Graphs –x-y plot of a single data set, multiple data sets –Bar charts - horizontal, vertical - comparison

4. Engineering H193 - Team Project Spring Quarter Gateway Engineering Education Coalition P. 4 Data Analysis and Presentation –Pie charts - Good for parts of a whole –Budgets –Time spent –Project schedule done in graphical form

5. Engineering H193 - Team Project Spring Quarter Gateway Engineering Education Coalition P. 5 Data Analysis and Presentation Data generally is available in tables –Tables are necessary for many types of data BUT –They can be Hard to Read and Understand –When used, they should include Appropriate Title, Column Headings, Units Use spreadsheet or word processor Read from right or bottom of page Graphs provide easier understanding of data Your team may want to use both

6. Engineering H193 - Team Project Spring Quarter Gateway Engineering Education Coalition P. 6 Data Analysis and Presentation Spreadsheet graphs are one place to start –Don’t trust them to give good graphs Format for Graphs –Appropriate Grid –Even numbers on Grid, Highest # greater than max data point –Title and axis labels (labels need units) –Multiple plots need different symbols - legend –Use smooth curve when data points fit equation –Use points connected with straight lines when there is no equation that relates the independent and dependent variables

7. Engineering H193 - Team Project Spring Quarter Gateway Engineering Education Coalition P. 7 Example

8. Engineering H193 - Team Project Spring Quarter Gateway Engineering Education Coalition P. 8 Data Analysis and Presentation Possible Graphs and Charts used in Final Report and Oral Report –Pie chart to show cost breakdown –Pie chart to show man-hours breakdown –x-y chart to show motor performance curve and where robot operates –x-y chart to show power/torque/forces required to pick and pick up –x-y chart to show track testing vs. project time –Design schedule Find examples in your Engineering Graphics book.
