On Deck Teams

* Teams should not gather in the Atrium or stairwell area on the 1st floor. The only teams allowed in the 1st floor Atrium are those competing or 'On Deck' waiting to compete in the next match.* Teams should wait for their turn to compete in the Auditorium or the lobbies on the 3rd and 4th floors. Viewing of contest rounds can be done from the 3rd and 4th floor catwalks.

MaRC Atrium

* The competition bracket will be displayed using the projector in the Auditorium. At this location, you may view the bracket as the contest progresses.* Keep the stairs clear for teams and guests traveling up and down.

Design Review

•  Judged on: –  Ingenuity (Design Process and Creativity) –  Aesthetics (Machine, Poster, Team) –  Presentation (Technical Communication)

•  Judges include industry sponsors, faculty, and students

11

Judging

12

1.  State how many points you expect to score 2.  State what your machine is going to do, and

how reliably it completes objectives 3.  Show which subsystems obtain which

points 4.  Demonstrate a subsystem (maybe) 5.  Be ready to explain A) What’s clever, B)

What’s unreliable, C) Why you chose this design, D) How much did it cost

Poster Presentation Tips

•  Draw attention, capture, and close •  All team members should be able to present the

same overview of the design •  Think about how to best display your device •  Don’t waste too much time/space explaining the

contest

13

Posters and Design/Planning Tools

•  Don’t Show: –  Full HoQ –  Full Spec List –  Eval. Matrices –  Planning Tools

•  Maybe Show: –  Morph Chart –  Function Tree –  Important Design Requirements –  Critical Specs

14

Dressing Up (You and the Poster)

•  Have a theme •  You can dress up in costume, but keep it tasteful •  Look cohesive as a team

•  Recommendations: –  Print using the Library Plotter –  Buy poster board at Sam Flax

15

Painting Your Device

•  Use the paint trailer in the MRDC loading dock

16

Final Report

17

•  Final Report –  Less than 10 pages of text (1.5 spacing) –  Figures and Tables should be included at the end in

Appendices –  Include Table of Contents –  Use feedback from Preliminary Report

Describing Design Tools

18

•  Cite the tool. •  State how the tool has been used to

address the assigned task. •  Concisely describe the tool (one sentence

maximum), NOT how the tool works. •  Present details by citing key entries/results

contained within the tool. •  State how the information in the tool was

used and what was gained from it.

Final Report – Suggested Outline

19

Cover Page Abstract Table of Contents I.  Introduction II.  Design Objectives III.  Design Overview IV.  Alternative Designs V.  Discussion VI.  Conclusions Figures and Tables

Abstract

20

•  State Problem or Need

•  Project Goals •  Project Results

–  Final Competition results –  Judging Results

•  What specifically is going to be presented in the report

Introduction

21

•  Problem Definition –  State the main objectives –  What key constraints existed?

•  Engineering Challenges –  NOT the same as the rules or constraints –  NOT the same as the tasks for the contest

•  What is contained in the report – …“Section III describes the Mithril Machine

design.”…

Design Objectives

22

•  Describe: –  Problem Understanding Analysis –  Design Specifications –  Functional Decomposition

•  State and briefly justify your assumptions

Design Overview

23

•  Present the complete machine –  How many points are expected to be scored? –  What are the subsystems? –  Describe operation of the device (use a flowchart) –  Full system figures

•  Give overall dimensions •  Use multiple figures to describe function and

motion, e.g. before and after views •  Label subsystems

–  How much did the machine cost? (show Bill of Materials)

Subsystem Description

24

•  Subsections of Design Overview Section •  Divide descriptions up by subsystem

–  Give details of each subsystem •  What function or goal does this address? •  What are its features? •  How does it work (Describe using figures!) •  Label critical dimensions

–  Use “zoomed” figures or separate figures for each subsystem

Alternative Designs

25

•  Describe at least three (3) concept alternatives –  1-2 Paragraphs –  1-2 Figures (before and after deployment, or

illustrate motion)

Discussion

26

•  Exists to justify system and analyze the results

•  HOW was the design selected? –  Why did you choose the one you did? (Concept Eval.)

•  WHAT were the results?

•  WHY did the device perform well (or poorly)? Analyze the results in light of the HOW.

Results (WHAT)

27

•  Present Numerical Results –  Judging –  Competition

•  How did this performance differ from the expected performance? –  What were the performance specifications? –  Justify the expected performance

•  Engineering analysis •  Tables of scores from prototyping trials

–  Identify differences between expectation and performance, and possible causes

Analysis (WHY)

28

•  Discuss in terms of the design process •  What assumptions were correct?… incorrect? •  What items were weighted too heavily?… too

lightly? •  Discussion of design strengths and weaknesses

–  Where and how did these manifest in your design process?

•  What would you change and/or improve on your design?

Conclusion

29

•  Outlines what was just presented in the report –  Should not introduce any new information

•  Include relevant numerical results –  Final Competition –  Judging

•  Make a CONCLUSION –  i.e. The design failed because… or the design

succeeded for these reasons…

Final Presentation

30

•  Less than 10 minutes (~10-11 slides) •  One speaker •  Clearly labeled figures •  Content is similar to final report •  Follow guidelines in Lectures from Dr. Donnell

Suggested Contents

31

•  Title Slide •  Problem Definition •  2-3 main design tools (the most important to

YOUR design process) •  Chosen Design (complete system) •  Chosen Design subsystems •  Alternative concepts •  Highest order evaluation matrix you used •  Results and Analysis

Remember Me’s

•  Your studio instructor determines your grade •  Test your device and competition prep. thoroughly •  Start your report and presentation now •  Ask your TA and instructor for advice!
