In this course, students will gain hands-on, practical experience applying engineering principles, theories, thought processes, and problem-solving approaches to the design and prototyping of a physical product. Students will develop skills for working in teams, working with open-ended problems, and making appropriate engineering assumptions. Students are expected to research the topic area, identify opportunities and design criteria, generate creative concepts, synthesize detailed design of the concept, analyze the design on a number of criteria to make improvements, and prototype and communicate the final solution.

Learning to design is a bit like learning to write. It is not the case that you will enter the course without knowing how to design and exit the course knowing the formula for design. Like writing, there is typically no unique “right” answer in design – but some answers are better than others, and some are more well-justified than others.  You will learn through experience, feedback, interaction, failure, and iteration about how to conduct a more robust, thoughtful, systematic, and objective-focused process for making decisions and justifying those decisions through analysis in the design and development of an engineered product.

-
Each team will meet with the instructors on a weekly basis, except where indicated on the schedule. Teams are expected to bring a progress report to each meeting listing the team name and members and detailing in bullet list form: 1) progress since the last meeting, 2) planned next steps, and 3) questions and items for discussion. Meetings are intended to check in with team progress and provide guidance, advice, feedback and clarification as needed. Students are expected to be proactive in setting an agenda for each meeting that best fits with the needs of the project.

==Design Project==
+
|-
-
This course is centered around one major open-ended design project for each team (teams will be assigned during the first week). Topics covered in class, as well as general mechanical engineering knowledge expected of seniors, will be applied in the design and development of the product. By nature, each team will have somewhat different tasks and areas of emphasis, and each will use different subsets of mechanical engineering analysis skills. However, all projects will address the criteria and guidelines described in the reports and assignments, and teams will be graded on their ability to select the appropriate and relevant scopes, areas, and levels of analysis necessary to complete the design of a new product and justify all major decisions. Details and guidelines on the design project are available on the blackboard website.

==Prototyping Budget==
+
|-
-
A budget of up to $500 will be reimbursed to each team for project costs including cost to obtain an initial product for dissection and prototyping expenses beyond those covered by the machine shop. Valid receipts for each purchase are needed to process reimbursement – receipts should be submitted to Nancy Beatty at the end of the semester according to the guidelines available on the blackboard website. Students are welcome to use their own funds if they wish to build a more expensive prototype; however, prototype expectations are based on the allocated budget, and contribution of additional funds is not necessary for achieving strong marks. Carnegie Mellon cannot reimburse sales tax. If the item to be purchased is costly, the team may ask Nancy to purchase it for them to avoid being charged for tax.

==Course Expectations==
+
|-
-
Students are expected to attend and participate in all lectures and all team meetings. Lecture times are MWF 12:30am-2:20pm; however, many of the Wednesday and Friday times will be used for team meetings with the instructors rather than lecture (see schedule), and teams are strongly encouraged to use these blocks of time for team meetings and team project work. The course is twelve units, so each student should spend about twelve hours per week working primarily on the project. With a team of four members, this is over 650 person-hours, with the majority devoted to the project.

==Design Notebooks==
+
|-
-
Each student should maintain a bound design notebook used exclusively for this class for ideas, sketches, notes, and thoughts. Entries should be dated in order to record the process and provide a support mechanism from a legal standpoint to protect intellectual property. The notebook will also help teams to compile their reports, document their process, and write a provisional patent application draft.

==Teamwork and Peer Review==
+
|-
-
The experience of working in teams on this project will serve as preparation for teamwork in industry. Each team will be asked to explicitly assign roles, such as team leader. Tasks can and should be divided among team members for efficiency; however, consistent meeting for debriefing and determining team direction and individual tasks is essential. A good model is to meet as a group every week before meeting with the instructors to review progress, execute tasks that must be performed as a team, identify next steps, and assign individual tasks. Each student can then work somewhat independently or in small groups to complete tasks for the next meeting. This process will help to ensure that all team members have a strong understanding of the state of knowledge of the project and justification for decisions made without requiring all members to be together in order to make progress. On certain days, team members will be selected at random to present the team’s project. All team members are responsible for making sure each member is informed and involved.

Some teams may experience an imbalance in team member contributions, effort, or reliability. The course instructors are available to provide advice and intervene as necessary to resolve team inequity and conflict; however, students should view this time as a learning experience: Such situations occur with regularity in the industrial world as well. If you experience challenges within your team, it is a good chance to develop strategies and figure out how you will address such challenges in the future. Addressing challenges within the team, when possible, is the most beneficial learning experience, and the instructors are available to provide guidance in doing so. My general advise is to bring everything out into the open and on the table – share perceptions, personal goals, needs, levels of commitment, and expectations to understand where one another is coming from. Construct a common vision, and then figure out the best way to achieve the vision given the needs of each team member. One common question asked at job interviews is: “Describe a time when you experienced difficulties working in a team or experienced a team failure. What did you do about it?” This is a good chance to build a strong answer to this question. While projects are graded as a unit, each team member will receive an individual course grade based in part on participation, attendance, and contributions. Teams are asked on each report to itemize individual team member contributions, and it is not uncommon for members of a design team to receive different grades.

Several mechanisms will be used for peer review.
+
|-
-
* Between Teams: Each team will receive feedback from other teams in design review sessions and/or presentations scheduled prior to the due date of each report. These sessions will sharpen communication skills, help to catch oversights and simple mistakes, and identify possible new ideas or areas for improvement in order to strengthen the project.

-
* Within Teams: Every student is required to turn in peer evaluations with each report for each member of their team (including themselves). These reports are primarily to help the instructors identify difficulties and miscommunications, and they will also be used as information for grading.

==Final Project Exhibition==
+
|}
-
The final design exhibition will take place on Wednesday, December 9th, in the University Center Wean Commons and Connan Room. Faculty, local industry members, media, and campus and community members will be invited to see student projects. The exposition has received [http://kdka.com/video/?id=49955@kdka.dayport.com media coverage] in the past. Teams will have tables and poster easels for displaying and communicating their design solutions. All students are expected to attend the exhibition except during conflicts with a scheduled course or final exam.

==Evaluation==
+
==Fall 2012==
-
This course is of an open-ended nature. Rather than check student solutions to predefined problems against a solution key, students are asked to participate in defining the problem and justifying decisions – skills that are critical in post-undergraduate work. As such, general evaluation criteria include:
+
The fall 2012 theme is to analyze an existing product chosen by student teams under a set of selection guidelines. Each team is assigned to study the design of the existing product, identify unmet needs, and then either redesign the existing product or design a new product to address an unmet need.
-
* '''''Completion of Assignment Requirements:''''' Is each requirement defined in each assignment adequately addressed at a level expected of a young practicing engineer? What is the quality of the final product?
+
-
* '''''Process:''''' Did the team consciously follow a purposeful design process that captures essential elements? Did the student extend appropriate effort, attend class and meetings, participate in discussion?
+
-
* '''''Well-Justified Choices:''''' Are decisions backed up with evidence and clearly defined rationale? Does the report clearly document analysis and rationale for decisions?
+
-
* '''''Communication and Professionalism:''''' Is the design fully defined? Does the report provide sufficient context and explanation for the client to understand? Have the students drawn appropriate conclusions from the analyses and summarized findings? Is the report written properly for the intended audience?
+
-
Most students who put effort into their project and complete assignments receive A’s and B’s, although some students have failed the course in the past due to lack of effort and responsibility. The best way to think about this course is that it is your chance to show off what you can do while preparing yourself for industrial expectations.

Topics covered in class, as well as general mechanical engineering knowledge expected of seniors, will be applied in the design and development of the product. By nature, each team will have somewhat different tasks and areas of emphasis, and each will use different subsets of mechanical engineering analysis.

-
This semester, each design team will select and obtain an existing mechanical product or system. We will spend approximately the first one-quarter of the semester analyzing the design of the existing product. Each team will then use this knowledge to create a new product to address an opportunity unaddressed by the existing product and/or make significant changes to the existing product to improve it. The following guidelines should be used in selecting a product. All products must be approved by the instructor:
+
|-  
 +
| 5 || [[Hand crank radio]] || Luggage opportunity || Vacuum pump suitcase || Evan Gates, Huan (Steve) Qin, Oscar Chahin, Kartik Goyal, Andre Sutanto
-
* '''Mechanical System:''' The product should involve multiple mechanical components that interact.
+
|-
-
* '''Moving Parts:''' In almost all cases, the system should involve moving parts.
+
| 6 || [[Water pump]] || Water pump opportunity || Human-powered shallow water pump || Kyra Gould, Jennifer Horst, Christina Razzano, Eva Humphery, Jerry Carlson
-
* '''Moderate Scope and Complexity:''' The system should involve a sufficient level of complexity (number of parts, number of functions, geometric constraints, etc) to provide challenges in studying the product and to leave open opportunities for making design improvements. The system should not involve so much complexity that the project cannot be reasonably completed in one semester. Some students may choose to study a family of products that share components as a way to introduce design complexity. Be ambitious – it is usually easy to limit scope later if it becomes necessary.
+
-
* '''Cost:''' Each team will be given a budget of $500 to be reimbursed at the end of the semester for valid receipts (tax cannot be reimbursed – contact Nancy Beatty if you have a large purchase). This budget is intended to cover cost to attain the product and to develop prototypes for a redesign or new design. Therefore, it is best if the product itself can be attained at low cost to leave a significant budget for prototyping.
+
-
* '''Portability:''' Teams will need to store the product and bring it to campus as needed.
+
-
* '''Safety:''' You will be disassembling and working with the product during the class, so products with compressed gas, explosive or corrosive materials, or other significant safety issues should be avoided.
+
-
'''Examples:''' Wheelchair, Can/jar opener, Bicycle derailleur, Staple gun, Electric toothbrush, Weed whipper, Vacuum, Coffeemaker, Paper towel dispenser, Food processor, Paintball gun, Umbrella, Sewing machine, VCR/DVD player, Toaster, Printer, Hair clippers, Electric trimmer, Auto components, Shredder, Office chair, Drill, Card shuffler, Camera

Current revision

Carnegie Mellon University, Department of Mechanical Engineering

Course 24-441 / 24-442

Contents

Course Objectives

In this course, students will gain hands-on, practical experience applying engineering principles, theories, thought processes, and problem-solving approaches to the design and prototyping of a physical product. Students will develop skills for working in teams, working with open-ended problems, and making appropriate engineering assumptions. Students are expected to research the topic area, identify opportunities and design criteria, generate creative concepts, synthesize detailed design of the concept, analyze the design on a number of criteria to make improvements, and prototype and communicate the final solution.

While most courses in the mechanical engineering curriculum focus on structured transfer of theoretical knowledge in analysis of mechanical phenomena, this course aims to provide students with a chance to build complimentary experiential knowledge in application and synthesis. Topics covered include design process, project planning, product dissection, design for manufacturing and assembly, engineering ethics, failure mode and effects analysis, life cycle assessment, design for environment, market research, concept generation and concept selection techniques, quality function deployment, intellectual property, detailed design, engineering drawings, prototyping, professional communication, design optimization, machine component design, and engineering economics.

Learning to design is a bit like learning to write. It is not the case that you will enter the course without knowing how to design and exit the course knowing the formula for design. Like writing, there is typically no unique “right” answer in design – but some answers are better than others, and some are more well-justified than others. You will learn through experience, feedback, interaction, failure, and iteration about how to conduct a more robust, thoughtful, systematic, and objective-focused process for making decisions and justifying those decisions through analysis in the design and development of an engineered product.
