Revision as of 22:45, 1 September 2007
Carnegie Mellon University, Department of Mechanical Engineering
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.

Topics
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 product development and design process, stakeholder research, social and cultural awareness, project planning, value opportunity analysis, concept generation techniques, design selection matrices, prototyping, product dissection, intellectual property, quality function deployment, professionalism, ethics, design for manufacturing and assembly, design for environment, life cycle analysis, failure mode and effects analysis, computer aided design and engineering drawings, appropriate tolerance selection, optimization, machine components, industrial design and economic analysis.

Fall 2007
This semester, each design team will select and obtain an existing mechanical product or system. We will spend approximately the first one-third 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.
Teams:
| Team | Meeting Time | Members | Product | Approval |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Wed 12:30 | Luke Miller, Charles Yee, Terry Chau | Airsoft Gun | Approved |
| 2 | Wed 12:45 | Kevin Lipkin, Anne Marie Lewis, Erika Bannon, Justine Rembisz | Windshield Wipers | Approved |
| 3 | Wed 1:00 | Robert Cavagnaro, Alex Malkin, Gil Palmon, Samantha Schultz | Automated Fan | Approved |
| 4 | Wed 1:30 | Julie Cone, Jason Jura, Jen Campos, Vince Chiodo | Food Shredder | Will this be like a food processor? Please provide a link to a picture of a similar device. |
| 5 | Wed 1:45 | Chris Cavanaugh, Art Douglass, Jon Brown, Chris Uhrinek | Golf Bag Stand / Socket | The "socket" is not clear - provide image and/or description. Be sure that the stand you select is not a simple tripod, but is an interesting "mechanical system" that will give you enough to study. Need to select one or the other. |
| 6 | Wed 2:00 | Sarah Biltz, John Bistline, Kim Lord | Aquarium Pump | Approved |
| 7 | Fri 12:30 | Adam Seibert, Dave Urban, Neel Nayak, Matt Eager | Paintball Gun | Make sure the one you choose is different from the one studied last year. |
| 8 | Fri 12:45 | Rob Gimson, Rich Hauffe, Jon Bodnar | Hamstring Curl Machine | Is this a pulley-based machine, or just a bench with weights on a hinge? Can you acquire one at low cost? Please provide a picture to a similar machine. |
| 9 | Fri 1:00 | Allison Oguh, Chia-Pei Hsu, Erica Pratt | Babyproof Door Knob Lock / Scooter -- brake | Need to choose one or the other. Door knob lock approved. Scooter - what kind? Please provide a picture. |
| 10 | Fri 1:30 | Jehan Azad, Chris Sullivan, Jordan DeVries, Tim Cheung | Remote Control Tarantula | Approved |
| 11 | Fri 1:45 | Joel Bergstein, Brian Kim, Sarat Mikkilineni, Jack Bowler | Automated Bagel Slicer | Is this electromechanical? Please provide a picture. |
| 12 | Fri 2:00 | Craig Cramer, Adam Haag, Cihan K., Shane McGuire, Michael Rem | Autonomous Fire Suppression System | Need more information. Please provide a description and/or link to a picture. |
| 13 | Fri 2:15 | Brian Shyu, Sarah Marmalefsky, Noah Lorang, Bryan Springer | Microphone Stand | A basic microphone stand would be too simple. A four-bar-linkage boom stand (like for radio) would be okay. Please provide a picture.
Spring 2007The spring 2007 theme was analysis and redesign of an existing product or mechanical system chosen by student teams under a set of selection guidelines. Each team was 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. The links below show study of the existing product. Some links also show new product design, but many of the new designs were completed offline because of intellectual property concerns.
