1. 1 Introduction to Engineering Team Design Project Agenda Team project description Introduction to design process. Brainstorming

2. 2 Team Project Description Problem : Design and build a sorter system for 3 types of recyclable objects. Requirements and Constraints:  Must use materials provided.  Sort 30 objects ( 10 of each type randomly fed to the system into 3 bins) within 2 minutes.  Count objects going into one bin. Detailed information on all parts of the team project is included in the Design Project Handbook, located at the end of your course materials.

3. 3 Documenting the Design Process Detailed written report and short oral report required. Report documents each step of the design process.  Outline will be provided. Person reading your report should be able to:  Understand how & why the final design was chosen.  Build your prototype from the information in the report. A Project Notebook will be kept for all Project materials  Team Meetings  Sketches, Drawings, Notes, Calculations, References One notebook, written report, and oral report per team.

4. 4 How Project Will Be Graded Team grades calculated Individual grade will be team grade, perhaps modified by the extent of individuals contribution to the team.

5. 5 Components of the Project grade (30% of total grade) Final test of the system5 How well your team builds another’s system and comments on the report 2 How easily another team can build your system 3 Written report12 Oral report5 Project notebook3 Total30

6. 6 Design Process Statement of the problem. Requirements and constraints. Preliminary concepts (brainstorming). Analysis. Select final design and refine it. Build prototype. Test prototype. Modify prototype. Final test.

7. 7 Problem Statement Design and build, with proper documentation, a device for sorting recyclable materials into bins – namely  Paper Cups  Wooden Blocks  Steel Cylinders Count the objects falling into one bin.

8. 8 Some Requirements and Constraints System must be built using only the materials provided System must be finished in time for the preliminary competition.

9. 9 Brainstorming – Proposing New Ideas Free Flowing Exchange of Ideas No Judgment No Decisions Build on Others’ Ideas Silly is Good – Can trigger creativeness A Recorder(s) is(are) needed
