• Each three students work as a group
• Each group must have a case study manager
• The group manager is a member of the group, but with special responsibility
• The group manager manages the work
• The group manager ensures that every body in the group has a task
• The group manager has the task of presenting the initial idea in a one page report on the fourth
week.
• Each member of the group, including the group manager, has to present the progress of his/her job
every week.
• The final report (10-20 pages) and presentation (20-30 min) will be submitted and conducted by
the end of the course.
The “one page” brief report must contain:
Name of the group manager; names of the group members; name of the case study.
Abstract: Reconstruct the model (diagram) of the outline development life cycle that we are using within
this module. Your model should include: The phases of the lifecycle, in order; the typical activities within
each phase; the end product(s) of each phase. The issues that need to be considered or addressed throughout
the development lifecycle may be discussed. The following points should be included:

Grading:
The case study results contribute 50% of each student’s grade for the course. Within the project, the
grading is based on a number of criteria:
1.
2.
3.
Concept: This is based on the technical merit of the design and simulation for the machine. Included
in this grade are evaluations of the appropriateness of the solution, as well as innovative software
and use of physical principles in the solution.
Implementation: This is based on the simulation displayed at the evaluation session.
Report: This is based on an evaluation of the written report. It will be judged on clarity of
explanations, completeness and appropriateness of the documentation.
