Deliverables / Portfolio report
These items are pulled directly from the worksheet you were given at the start of the project. Complete these tasks and post the results to your blog:
-Brainstorming Ideas: Provide at least four of your team’s brainstorming ideas for the design solution. This should include brainstorming sketches or electronic 3D models of your ideas. Each sketch should be signed, dated, and should include labels and descriptions for communication.
-Decision Matrix: Evaluate the four solution ideas using a decision matrix. Determine the best solution to the problem.
-Final Design Solution: Create a detailed pictorial sketch or use 3D modeling software to document the best solution, based upon your team’s decision matrix. Your sketch or 3D model should include a rationale for the design selected as the final design solution. Each sketch should be signed, dated, and should include labels and descriptions for communication.
-Design Modifications: If you change your final design solution, document the modifications. Explain the reason for the modifications and describe how the new design solution will solve the problem (refer to Design Modifications Chart).
-Final Design: This section will include information pertinent to the design solution in the form of images (e.g., photographs of final solution, photographs of testing solution, orthographic and isometric drawings, assembly, schematics, exploded views, written programs, flow charts, calculations, and data tables).
-Reflection: How well did you accomplish your objectives? What would your team do differently with your design solution and why? Do the results fulfill the problem statement? Provide a brief explanation of what you learned, the challenges of working in a design team, and the purpose of the design problem. The reflection should be 200-250 words.
****Update****
****Additional Questions Added****
- A Helping Hand: Since one of the major goals of our course is to expose students to working in a collaborative and open environment (like one might experience in a professional technical setting), I'd like to know if there were any students outside of your team that were especially helpful to your efforts. If you did recieve some help, please let me know who that was and be specific about how they helped you out. I will look positively on you for recognizing people that made a difference for you. Thanks.
- "Achievements" (Optional/Bonus): I'm going to create my own design brief for this activity in the future. I will use an "achievement system" much like this Egg Drop Challenge Achievement List (click through to see an example Achievement System). Do you have any good ideas for Achievements for the Machine Control Capstone Project? What materials were in short supply and how could you use Achievements to help control their use so everyone has some available?
