What will you be doing for the next

5 to 6 weeks?

• You are going to be applying all of the knowledge and skills you have learned about Engineering Design. It must solve some kind of design problem that has a POSITIVE impact on society or the environment. You will be researching, designing, and creating a product of your choosing. This product must be marketable (people will want to buy it).

• Think of this as an Engineering Fair project, similar to a Science Fair project.

• You will work in teams of three (3) (we may have 1 or 2 teams that have more if we have to but teacher will make that decision).

• All research and paperwork must be in a 1” 3 ring binder and have all of the paperwork organized per the checklist and grading rubric.

• Product prototype must made out of 3-10 different types of material.

• Prototype and display board must fit into a space no bigger than:

– 3’-0” Wide, 1’-3” Deep, and 4’-0” High.

Lesson 1-4 Timeline

• Week 1 = Explanations; Team assignments, Team

Contract typed up and signed by all and witnessed by our teacher; What Bugs me 10 and 5; Mind Maps

• Weeks 2 and 3 = Begin the Design Process and create the teams product “BLOG”ineering Design website (per rubric) and technical drawings of your product (per requirements given)

• Week 4s and 5 = Build prototype (you must bring in the materials to be used); create display board; 30 second marketing “Infomercial” video; sales flyer or brochure;

PowerPoint or Prezi to use when presenting your product; and finish up the “BLOG”ineering Design website ; present product to classmates

• Week 6 = if needed, but only for presentation because we need to be reviewing and prepping for final exam

Grades:

• Teamwork Agreement Contract = “Major grade”

• What Bugs Me; Mind Map; and Engineering Design

Plan handouts = “Daily grade”

• “BLOG”ineering Design website (per rubric) = “Major grade”

• Technical Drawings = “Major grade”

– Multiviews with annotations for every part

– Isometric of the assembled product

– Exploded Assembly of the product

– 10-15 second animation of the product working

• Engineering Design (per rubric) = “Major grade”

• Built Prototype (per rubric) = “Major grade”

• Display Board (per rubric) = “Major grade”

4


Grades (cont’d.):

• 30 second “Infomercial” about the product (per rubric)

= “Major grade”

• Sales flyer or brochure (per rubric) = “Daily grade”

• Research Notebook (per check list) = “Major grade”

• PowerPoint or Prezi to be used when you present your product and the actual Product Presentation (per rubric) = “Major grade”

– 5 minutes to set up

– 5 MINUMUM to 10 minutes MAX present your product (EVERYONE must speak at least once)

Part 4 Timeline (1 week)

• Allow up to two days to finish any work

– This happens so build in time for this.

– Teams that are done can do the enrichment activities:

• Create order forms for their product

• Create packing for their prototype

• We will need three days for all teams to present prototypes per the rubric given

Remember Proper Presentation

Etiquette

• Even if the information you must present is boring, do NOT show that!

• Do your best to make it interesting or

“Fake it until you make it”.


8


Etiquette (cont’d.)

• Dress the part.

• No one is going to take you seriously if you are dressed like a slob.


9



• You don’t chew gum.

•

It is distracting and unattractive.

• You start and finish on time!


10



• You know what you are going to say and how you are going to say it.

Being confident will get your message across so much better than a presentation filled with “ums” and “hold on” and,

“Oh! I forgot about that!”

11




• If you are using a slideshow to communicate your message, you don’t read the screen to your audience.

They (hopefully) know how to read.

Proper presentation etiquette means you keep your audience engaged by using your slides as key points and building off of them in your speech.


12



• You don’t fill your slideshow with useless graphs and diagrams.

• They need to portray something meaningful or they should be on the cutting room floor.


13



• You are prepared in case something goes wrong.

• Presentation etiquette means that even if you lose the zip drive your slideshow was stored on, you have a hardcopy back up you can photocopy and distribute.


14



• At the conclusion of your presentation, you allow time for Q & A.

• This presentation etiquette will not only help clear up any miscommunications, but, may also bring to light something you had not previously considered, as well as encourage audience participation.


15



• And remember, if you are nervous, whatever you do……

• Do

NOT

picture everyone in their underwear.

That’s just strange and creepy…….


16

Time to get to work!

• Congratulations you are now on the LAST part of this unit!

• You can do this because it’s just a combination of all the knowledge skills you have learned to date.

• Refer back to this PPT and the handout or rubrics when you have questions about what is required.

• I will NOT answer any questions unless you ask three (3) other teams what it is you are supposed to do AND all four (4) of the teams ask me the same question at once.

• Your presentation grade will count as your practical part of the final for this class.
