Potential Projects for Fall 2014 Test Day:Dec.29,2013 Report Due Date:Dec.29 PROJECT REQUIREMENTS: You will be divided into teams of 4 to select one of the projects below.As with any design problem,this is an open-ended problem with infinite solutions.You are expected to come up with one solution that will work and,most importantly,to understand how it works. EACH DESIGN TEAM WILL: 1.Develop a design for either project listed above and document the design in the form of a detailed engineering design proposal.The design must be based upon sound engineering analysis and simulation of the system performance. 2.Fabricate a"proof-of-concept"prototype for the system described by the proposal. 3.Document your work in a professional engineering report SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE PROTOTYPE AND PROOF-OF-CONCEPT DEMONSTRATION The prototype system for the proof-of-concept demonstration should satisfy the following: 1.Total project costs cannot exceed RMB150/EACH PERSON.The total cost includes the 100/P provided by ME DEPT.and up to 50/P that can be collected from the design team.The total cost includes all out-sourced parts,raw materials,tools,administrative costs (copying,viewgraphs,etc.)and expendable supplies (glue,wire,etc.).THE 100/P FEE CAN BE REVERTED FROM FINANCIAL OFFICE BY TEAMS. 2.Component parts can be either fabricated in-house or purchased from outside vendors (out-sourced).All out-sourced parts must be accounted for in the overall cost at their full retail value.Groups cannot "out-source"fabrication processes. 3.All "in-house"parts must be fabricated by the design team using the facilities provided in WEIDA building. 4.Any "moving parts"must be protected from inadvertent contact with the operator.Any moving blades must be shielded for safety.Potential Projects for Fall 2014 Test Day: Dec. 29, 2013 Report Due Date: Dec. 29 PROJECT REQUIREMENTS: You will be divided into teams of 4 to select one of the projects below.

EACH DESIGN TEAM WILL: 1. Develop a design for either project listed above and document the design in the form of a detailed engineering design proposal. The design must be based upon sound engineering analysis and simulation of the system performance . 2. Fabricate a “proof-of –concept” prototype for the system described by the proposal. 3. Document your work in a professional engineering report. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE PROTOTYPE AND PROOF-OF-CONCEPT DEMONSTRATION The prototype system for the proof-of-concept demonstration should satisfy the following: 1. Total project costs cannot exceed RMB150/EACH PERSON. - The total cost includes the 100/P provided by ME DEPT. and up to 50/P that can be collected from the design team. The total cost includes all out-sourced parts, raw materials, tools,administrative costs (copying, viewgraphs, etc.) and expendable supplies (glue, wire, etc.).
