R. I. T Mechanical Engineering Why Develop a Roadmap?
6
R. I. T Mechanical Engineering Why Develop a Roadmap? For complex and/or long-term projects Forces you to consider order of implementation Build a case for funding initial projects Make effective use of time Demonstrate that you have an end goal
7
R. I. T Mechanical Engineering Boeing Five focus areas for underwater robotics work: Communication Navigation Payloads and Sensors Power Autonomy Customer seeking multiple project ideas in each area short-term and long-term solutions
8
R. I. T Mechanical Engineering Air Quality Monitor Single core idea with lots of potential applications… Wearable Indoors with cookstove Outdoors to monitor city data Monitor other types of emissions …And a corresponding need for a test chamber
9
R. I. T Mechanical Engineering Who else is here…? Test rigs: PMTR – develop 1, 10, 20? Classroom demo, student lab, or research quality? Garlock – build up increased functionality, parallel development to different test standards Baja, FSAE: Long-term vision for the car, develop risky advances in parallel with traditional improvements

R. I. T Mechanical Engineering Things to consider Need for each project Platform to be used for future development? System to which other systems can be compared? Customer priority or bonus feature? Level of risk with each project Risky ≠ Bad Safe ≠ Good Balance
21
R. I. T Mechanical Engineering More things to consider System architecture How to modularize system Common interfaces? (think USB) It’s not personal It’s not likely that your roadmap will play out exactly as you define it View it as a starting point to give the project direction
