1. Improving the world through engineering 1 www.imeche.org/fs Design Feedback Session 2010 Neill Anderson Head Design Judge Alex Hickson Deputy Head Design Judge

2. Improving the world through engineering 2 www.imeche.org/fs 60 judges from across engineering industries Who Are The Judges?

3. Improving the world through engineering 3 www.imeche.org/fs  What Are The Design Judges Looking For?  What Got The Top Teams into the Final?  What We Were Impressed With?  What We’d Like to See Improved?  What Can FS Do to Help You?  How Can FS Help Improve Judging? Why Are You Here?

4. Improving the world through engineering 4 www.imeche.org/fs WHAT is it we want in Design?  What  Why  Data

5. Improving the world through engineering 5 www.imeche.org/fs Pre-Event Design Report Spec Sheet Impact Attenuator Report At Event Well Prepared Car Prepared & Knowledgeable Team Evidence HOW do you do this?

6. Improving the world through engineering 6 www.imeche.org/fs Penalties (>0) Design Report 73% Spec Sheet 64% Impact Attenuator 63% Relevant Documents Guidance FSAE Rules FSAE Rule Clarifications & Examples Impact Attenuator Report Grading Document FS Specification And Design Report Penalty Guide 2010 Design Report Guidance (Learn to Win Presentation) Pre-Event Documentation

7. Improving the world through engineering 7 www.imeche.org/fs What Made the Finalists Stand Out?  Great on the Fundamentals Understanding (the customer & how to deliver what they want) Overall Concept Fully Researched Design (Theory/Calcs, Functionality & Integration) Execution Testing/Validation/Development Evidence (parts, reports, data tables, calculations, video, pictures etc)  Excellent engineering  Very few areas could be criticised in the teams’ knowledge or the car (Design, Presentation & Execution)

8. Improving the world through engineering 8 www.imeche.org/fs Interesting Engineering @ FS 2010 Focus on Fuel Economy Direct Injection Petrol Engine Sustainability Becoming a Bigger Part of Competition Top Teams Considering Cost in Design Exceptionally Knowledgeable Teams

9. Improving the world through engineering 9 www.imeche.org/fs How Can You Help Us?  Provide Feedback  Use Online-FS Question Database  Take What You Learnt and Apply it  Provide the Feedback to your Team  Provide the feedback to your University  Spread the Word of FS  Become Design Judges?

10. Improving the world through engineering 10 www.imeche.org/fs What Are We Going To Do Better? Areas already being considered: Penalties (prompt, evaluate & communicate prior to event) Moderation (all avenues e.g. training/process being explored) Guidance (clarity/finding information, guidance documents) Report (contents & structure) Car (Fundamental Design Philosophy Tips)
