Course overview and objectives:
This is a design-driven course with emphasis placed on skills such as: team-working,
communication skills (graphical, oral, and written), and computer-aided design and
analysis tools. The course will introduce students to the engineering approach to
problem solving with strong references to basic science and math skills, as well as
testing and evaluating design ideas by building prototypes. The design projects are the
total of at least 30 hours of in-class work (one third of the course). Two design projects
will be assigned during the semester. The design projects will require the students to
work in a team. The course grade for the students will reflect their abilities to
function effectively as team players.
Skills acquired by students during the course:
Computing:
Internet
Skills:
Solid Modeling/CAD, EXCEL (spreadsheet), PowerPoint (multimedia
presentation)
Designing and publishing a basic webpage
Graphics:
Sketching, orthographic projections, multiview drawings, scales,
dimensioning, isometric pictorial, oblique pictorial, sections, working
drawings
Lab Skills:
experimental methods, data acquisition & analysis, prototype building &
testing
Design
Methods:
customer needs assessment, concept generation, design selection matrices,
design for assembly- disassembly, safety, cost effectiveness, teamwork, and
other constraints as need by the project

EDSGN 100 Class policy
The following are some ground rules to help us maintain a steady progress
through the semester:
1.
Assignments are due at the start of the class period before the lecture begins.
Assignments submitted after this time will receive a 20% deduction. A further 20%
reduction will be applied for every week beyond the first.
2.
The instructor will discuss any exam or assignment grade within 48 hours (excluding
weekends and holidays) of its return, after which time the discussion is closed.
3.
Excellent teamwork can improve the course grade by as much as 4% (2% per design
project). Poor team work will lower your grade by the same amount.
4.
Punctual attendance is mandatory for all the class periods. Course grade will be
dropped to the next lower grade for every two classes missed. All excused absences must
be supported by written documentation, such as doctor's receipt, Penn State athletics
travel notice, ROTC notice, etc.
5.
No makeup labs will be available for the Design sessions since this is unique to this
section.
6.
No cell phone including text message is permitted in the classroom.
7.
Students are responsible for any missed handout and homework assignment for any
unexcused missed class.
8. Students must use Penn State access account email address when he/she emails the
instructor.
Academic Integrity:
Senate Policy 49-20 Academic Integrity
Definition and expectations: Academic integrity is the pursuit of scholarly activity in an open,
honest and responsible manner. Academic integrity is a basic guiding principle for all academic
activity at The Pennsylvania State University, and all members of the University community are
expected to act in accordance with this principle. Consistent with this expectation, the
University's Code of Conduct states that all students should act with personal integrity, respect
other students' dignity, rights and property, and help create and maintain an environment in
which all can succeed through the fruits of their efforts.
Academic integrity includes a commitment not to engage in or tolerate acts of falsification,
misrepresentation or deception. Such acts of dishonesty violate the fundamental ethical principles of the
University community and compromise the worth of work completed by others.
The Penn State Principles:
1.
2.
3.
4.
I will respect the dignity of all individuals within the Penn State community;
I will practice academic integrity;
I will demonstrate social and personal responsibility;
I will be responsible for my own academic progress and agree to comply with all University
policies.

Description
Problem Statement
The problem was that people who do not have automobiles lacked an effective way of
transporting goods and storing a shopping cart. A greater percentage of the population in urban
areas, relative to suburban and rural areas, do not own automobiles and required an easy way to
transport goods, such as groceries.
Mission Statement
The mission was to design and build a prototype of a portable shopping cart that
was able to fit in a compact area, able to hold up to 100 lb., and with a material cost that was less
than $50. This shopping cart was intended to be an ideal way of transporting goods and other
materials.
Design Specifications
This should be an easy to use foldable shopping cart that is ideal for transporting
materials, such as groceries. It should have a weight capacity of 100 lb. and cost no more than
$50 to produce

Main Design Features
The main design
features are the poles
and tubes that make
up the frame of the
shopping cart. The
separate tubes allows
for the shopping cart
to collapse. When
the shopping car
needs to be upright
and sturdy the tube
connects the two
poles to keep the
shopping cart
upright.
Design Project 2
Description
Problem Statement:
The problem was that people were spending too much time and effort to make
and cook dumplings for either their household or restaurant.
Mission Statement:
Our mission was to create an automatic dumpling maker that would cook at
least ten decent dumplings in under a minute, cost under $200, and would be
dishwasher safe and easy/safe to use.
Design Specifications
1. Either automatic or semi-automatic.
2. Produce at least 10 dumplings per minute.
3. The cost for the dumpling maker should be at most $200
4. Should be dishwasher safe
5. Easy to maintain and safe to use

Main Design Features
The main design features of the Dumplmatic are the bread hook to
mix the dough and the conveyer belt that takes it from one compartment to the
next.
Summary and Conclusion
In this class I have worked a lot with SolidWorks and learned how to design.
