“Engineering design is the process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs. It is a decision-making process
(generally iterative ), in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and engineering sciences are applied to convert resources (optimally) to meet a stated objective . Among the fundamental elements of the design process are the establishment of objectives and criteria, synthesis, analysis, construction, testing, and evaluation.”

• Slides 32-33 with supplemental information in slides 68-71
• P15484 – feasibility
• P15711 – risk mitigation

• Or Preliminary Detailed Design
• Or High-Risk Design
No matter what you are doing next, you should start refining and adding detail to the system-level proposal that you just shared.

• Review the plan your team has made for the next
3-6 weeks – what will be done, and who will do it?
Where will you be in 3 weeks?
• Come to agreement on the priority order of the work that you do. Generally, start with highest risk elements of the design.
• Come to agreement on the areas where you will seek subject matter expert input, and what you will have accomplished before you talk with SME’s.
R .

• NOT a stand-up-and-present review
• Go out and seek input on design.
• Opportunity to practice your elevator pitch: explain your project quickly, then get to the point and ask your question
• How do I do this design? How do I start this analysis?
• Here is the design I’m proposing, based on this analysis, with these assumptions and boundary conditions. How could I improve this?
• Here is an analysis I did to answer a critical feasibility question, here are the results, here is the conclusion I’m drawing from them, and here’s my proposed course of action as a result.
Does this make sense?

• Who?
• Faculty, staff
• Guide
• Customer
• Respect their time
• Accept their input
• What action will you take as a result of your discussion?
• Report input back to your guide/team

• You will earn a grade on your work during weeks 6-9
– work with your guide to set expectations.
• Work with your guide to determine best format. For example, any or all of…
• Written documentation in logbook?
• Written documentation posted to EDGE?
• Verbal feedback during week 9 meeting?
• Something else you agree on?
• You are not necessarily getting all your SME input during week 9 – you may be ready for these now.

• Slides posted to myCourses (link on main page)
• Continue answering questions about and adding detail to your design
• Goal: All details worked out for high-risk and medium-risk subsystems. Drawings, schematics, parts, preliminary test plan
• (Weeks 13-15 will be used to close out Week 12 action items and complete low-risk design work)
R .

• What is your evidence that your design will meet requirements (inspection, reference, analysis)?
• Have you demonstrated proof-of-concept (all critical areas)?
• Have all factors influencing operation been considered? What can the user do "wrong" and how will your design respond?
• Are all drawings, schematics, flow charts, and other artifacts complete
(everything needed to physically and functionally realize your system)?
• Have long lead items and vendors been identified and reviewed against budget?
• How are you going to test for each requirement?
• What is your most challenging subsystem to build, and have you ensured enough time to complete it?
• What is each team member planning to work on during MSD II??
R .

T Multidisciplinary Senior Design

• System architecture – subsystems address all requirements
•
Detailed drawings, schematics, flow charts – everything needed to physically and functionally realize your design, from component to subsystem to system
• Feasibility analysis – simulations, engineering analysis, prototyping
• BOM – long lead items and vendors identified, review against budget
• Risk Assessment – updated
• Project Plan - updated
R .

• ME: 3D CAD drawings, mechanical simulations, LabView
“algorithms”
• EE / CE: final ORCAD schematics, detailed SPICE, Matlab simulations, development tools. For software: UML/use cases, algorithms, state diagrams, AD/DA mapping for controllers, etc.
• ISE: work center layout, process flow diagrams, value stream maps, ergonomic analyses, operation process chart, DfX analysis, statistical tables
• All: step-by-step plan to fully characterize system against all specs

Function
Layout, geometry & materials
Energy & kinematics
Will customer needs be satisfied as defined/measured by target values (specs)?
Will the architecture and functions be fulfilled? Will they produce the desired effects?
What other supporting functions are needed?
Will the chosen layout, component shapes, materials, and dimensions provide adequate robustness, adequate durability, permissible deformation, adequate stability, impact resistance, unimpeded expansion and heat transfer?
Will the chosen layout and components provide acceptable transfer of energy, adequate transient and steady state behavior, and appropriate motion, velocity, and acceleration profiles?
Safety
Ergonomics
Quality control
Assembly
Operation
Costs
Schedules
Have all factors affecting the safety of the user, components, functions, operations, and the environment been taken into account?
Have human-machine relationships been fully considered?
Have unnecessary human stress or injurious factors been predicted and avoided?
Has attention been paid to aesthetics and the intrinsic “ feel ” of the “ product ” ?
Have standard tolerances been chosen (not too tight)?
Are assembly operations defined and can they be performed simply, repeatedly, and without ambiguity?
(not due yet)
Have all factors influencing operation (such as noise, vibration, handling, software states) been considered? What can the user do “ wrong ” and how will your design respond?
Will stipulated cost limits be observed?
Will additional operational costs arise?
Will delivery dates be met?
What design modifications might reduce cycle time and improve delivery?
