Course overview and objectives:

This is a design-driven course with emphasis placed on skills such as: team-working, communication skills (graphical, oral, and written), and computer-aided design and analysis tools. The course will introduce students to the engineering approach to problem solving with strong references to basic science and math skills, as well as testing and evaluating design ideas by building prototypes. The design projects are the total of at least 30 hours of in-class work (one third of the course). Two design projects will be assigned during the semester. The design projects will require the students to work in a team. The course grade for the students will reflect their abilities to function effectively as team players. Skills acquired by students during the course:

Computing: Solid Modeling/CAD, EXCEL (spreadsheet), PowerPoint (multimedia presentation)

2

Internet Skills: Designing and publishing a basic webpage

Graphics: Sketching, orthographic projections, multiview drawings, scales, dimensioning, isometric pictorial, oblique pictorial, sections, working drawings

Lab Skills: experimental methods, data acquisition & analysis, prototype building & testing

Design Methods:

customer needs assessment, concept generation, design selection matrices, design for assembly- disassembly, safety, cost effectiveness, teamwork, and other constraints as need by the project

The following are some ground rules to help us maintain a steady progress through the semester:

1. Assignments are due at the start of the class period before the lecture begins. Assignments submitted after this time will receive a 20% deduction. A further 20% reduction will be applied for every week beyond the first.

2. The instructor will discuss any exam or assignment grade within 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays) of its return, after which time the discussion is closed.

3. Excellent teamwork can improve the course grade by as much as 4% (2% per design project). Poor team work will lower your grade by the same amount.

4. Punctual attendance is mandatory for all the class periods. Course grade will be dropped to the next lower grade for every two classes missed. All excused absences must be supported by written documentation, such as doctor's receipt, Penn State athletics travel notice, ROTC notice, etc.

5. No makeup labs will be available for the Design sessions since this is unique to this section.

6. No cell phone including text message is permitted in the classroom.

7. Students are responsible for any missed handout and homework assignment for any unexcused missed class.

8. Students must use Penn State access account email address when he/she emails the instructor.

Academic Integrity:

Senate Policy 49-20 Academic Integrity

Definition and expectations: Academic integrity is the pursuit of scholarly activity in an open, honest and responsible manner. Academic integrity is a basic guiding principle for all academic activity at The Pennsylvania State University, and all members of the University community are expected to act in accordance with this principle. Consistent with this expectation, the University's Code of Conduct states that all students should act with personal integrity, respect other students' dignity, rights and property, and help create and maintain an environment in which all can succeed through the fruits of their efforts.

Academic integrity includes a commitment not to engage in or tolerate acts of falsification, misrepresentation or deception. Such acts of dishonesty violate the fundamental ethical principles of the University community and compromise the worth of work completed by others.

The Penn State Principles:

1. I will respect the dignity of all individuals within the Penn State community; 2. I will practice academic integrity; 3. I will demonstrate social and personal responsibility; 4. I will be responsible for my own academic progress and agree to comply with all University

policies.

Design Features: Group 3’s Dumpling Maker 1.0 offers many bold and useful feature. First of which is that the entire process is automatic, offering the easiest dumpling making experience possible. The machine prepares the filling and dough for the user based on raw materials that the consumer puts in. All components of the machine including dough maker, filling processor, tubing, etc. is entirely removable and replaceable if program or in need of updating. The key feature of the machine is the speed and efficiency with which it makes dumplings, thanks to the specialty cutting wheel. The cutting wheel presses the dough and filling with no loss into perfectly shaped dumplings.

Pittsadelphia Emissions

EDSGN 100: Intro. to Engineering Design Fall 2015 Client-Driven Design Project Penn State Project Objective Pittsadelphia is looking for the design of a cost-effective freight shipping system that reduces smog and meets EPA requirements, while maintaining or increasing freight capacity into and out of this important port city. Project background Every day into and out of the port city of Pittsadelphia, approx. 165,000 tons of freight or minerals (coal, etc.) per day travel via rail. Smog from locomotive emissions is a key complaint of city residents. Smog is generated from engine-emitted NOx. Tier 2 locomotives used to haul freight are approaching age for overhaul, at which time investments will be required to meet EPA Tier 3 (or higher) requirements. Suggestions have been made to address locomotive emissions (i.e., smog) by: 1) Upgrade the locomotive fleet to meet more recent emissions guidelines set by the EPA. A few options may exist to meet the new guidelines:

• Sell existing fleet and purchase new locomotives • Upgrade fleet with exhaust after-treatment hardware • Utilize alternate fuels (Biodiesel, CNG, LNG, etc.) which may produce less NOx

2) Alternate freight shipping methods: • By water • By air • By ground, i.e., trucking

Sponsor Background GE Transportation, a unit of GE (NYSE: GE), solves the world’s toughest transportation challenges. GE Transportation builds equipment that moves the rail, mining, and marine industries. GE’s fuel-efficient and lower-emissions freight and passenger locomotives; diesel engines for rail; marine and stationary power applications; signaling and software solutions; drive systems for mining trucks; and value-added services help customers grow. GE Transportation is headquartered in Chicago, IL, and employs approximately 13,000 employees worldwide.

Project Description Each design team should research and evaluate the suggestions made for fleet upgrade or alternate shipping methods. For upgrades, consider physical constraints of new hardware, as well as fuel storage requirements. Provide your recommendations, commenting on impact to: 1) Emissions/Regulatory requirements 2) Costs: fuel, infrastructure, etc. 3) Freight throughput/capacity 4) Public opinion 5) On-time delivery Project Deliverables Note: Your instructor will clarify her or his expectations for these deliverables and respective due dates.

• Technical report containing the following elements o Rationale for the recommendation o Description of alternative concepts and their evaluation o Systems diagram o Concept of Operations o Environmental analysis o Assessment of important aspects of your system for feasibility and adoption, including public opinion o Economic viability of the system o CAD drawings

• Model or prototype of a component of the overall system Additional Resources

Design Features: The design consists of selling the tier 2 fleet and buying tier 3 locomotives. Locomotive features will consist of buying NextFuel™ Natural Gas Retrofit Kits. EGR systems will be implemented on all of the engines. Design 4 also features port injection consisting of an 80% liquid natural gas and 20% diesel within the cylinder during combustion.

Summary: In all, EDSGN 100 has taught me many things. Through the completion projects and projects to in class SolidWorks tutorials, my skills were broadened. The two design projects in groups required our team to use and understand the engineering design process to make the best prototype to convey the selected concept. I’ve also learned the fundamentals of detailed drawings by hand and the various ways of doing it. This class offered me the right assignments to learn important information that all engineers ought to know. Conclusion: In close, EDSGN 100 has given me irreplaceable knowledge and experience. The ability to use CAD software is a valuable asset for an engineer like me trying to build my skillsets for a career outside of college. I know better understand the engineering process and how to apply it to making a superior product. EDSGN 100 has taught valuable engineering information which I can carry with me through my whole life as an engineer.
