In your final report, you are looking to 1) provide evidence and make a case to support the need for your new design; 2) provide documentation necessary to fully describe and define the detailed design for production; and 3) use engineering analysis and your prototype to demonstrate feasibility of the design. Each team should document any information needed to accomplish the above objectives. To help you avoid forgetting anything major, a minimum requirements checklist will include: | In your final report, you are looking to 1) provide evidence and make a case to support the need for your new design; 2) provide documentation necessary to fully describe and define the detailed design for production; and 3) use engineering analysis and your prototype to demonstrate feasibility of the design.

Some teams may include additional information, such as a provisional patent draft, optimization results, functional decomposition, VOA, survey results, product family analysis, detailed cost estimation, etc. Each team should identify which aspects are appropriate for making the case for their own product and aim to impress the client with thorough and appropriate work necessary for the client to make a decisions on whether or not to pursue your product further. | Some teams may include additional information, such as a provisional patent draft, optimization results, functional decomposition, VOA, survey results, product family analysis, detailed cost estimation, etc. Each team should identify which aspects are appropriate for making the case for their own product and aim to impress the client with thorough and appropriate work necessary for the client to make a decisions on whether or not to pursue your product further. | ||

In your final report, you are looking to 1) provide evidence and make a case to support the need for your new design; 2) provide documentation necessary to fully describe and define the detailed design for production; and 3) use engineering analysis and your prototype to demonstrate feasibility of the design. Each team should document any information needed to accomplish the above objectives. To help you avoid forgetting anything major, a minimum requirements checklist will include:
Contents |
Executive Summary
(1-page max)
- Appropriate background on the project.
Market Research
- A clear statement of the opportunity you have identified, and documentation of market research to support the need.
Design
- Engineering drawings that fully specify the production design and its function, including a bill of materials listing each component, dimensioned drawings of each custom part / catalog references for each purchased part, specification of materials and manufacturing processes for each part, and documentation of how the components are assembled.
Analysis
- Engineering analysis of the design including 1) an appropriate numerical analysis for your design (required for all) 2) a DFX/FMEA analysis as appropriate for your design, and 3) documentation of any engineering testing performed to support design decisions. In all cases, clearly state assumptions and conclusions.
QFD
- A QFD to show (at minimum) the quantifiable engineering targets you have set for the design, relationships between engineering specs and stakeholder needs, and benchmarking of competing products. As always, explain your conclusions, such as what strengths your design has over competitor products and who is likely to buy it.
Final Prototype
- Documentation of the final prototype including a discussion of what it demonstrates, what was learned from it, and how it differs from the final design.
Testing of Final Prototype
- Documentation of user-testing and user-feedback on your design and prototype.
Should the design be pursued for production?
- A conclusion of whether or not your design should be pursued for production and why.
Next Steps
- Identification of next steps and any remaining barriers to bringing the proposed design into production.
Team Contributions
- A section on design process and team dynamics that briefly describes the design process path followed by the team and lists semester contributions and team roles from each team member.
Some teams may include additional information, such as a provisional patent draft, optimization results, functional decomposition, VOA, survey results, product family analysis, detailed cost estimation, etc. Each team should identify which aspects are appropriate for making the case for their own product and aim to impress the client with thorough and appropriate work necessary for the client to make a decisions on whether or not to pursue your product further.
