Design for ManufacturingTeam:

Design Brief:

Constraints:

Main construction material should be wood

Other materials such as metal, fabric, or plastic may be used

The product should be approximately “shoe box” size (1 square)

Functionality –

Aesthetics –

Universal Appeal –

Originality –idea

Safety –

Design or invent a product that can be produced by our class in the Engineering Lab.

Team:

Design for Manufacturing

InvestigationInvestigation:

Investigate similar products to your ideas (internet, photos)

Identify and investigate materials to be used.

How does this photo help you in designing your product?

Determine appeal of product

Developmental WorkDevelopmental Work

Should include pictures of the design work and creation of the prototype

There should be captions of for each photo

Design for ManufacturingTeam:

TestingTesting

Will the product function as planned? Is the product sized appropriately?

Design for ManufacturingTeam:

Product EvaluationEvaluation

Your design solution Yourself

Evaluation of your design solution will include:

What are the strengths and weaknesses of the final design?

Self-evaluation should answer such questions as:

Did I work well with my team?

What did I contribute to my team?

Something new I learned?

Technological Design Process 0-1 Pts. 2-3 Pts. 3-4 Pts. 5 Pts. Needs Improvement Unsatisfactory Satisfactory Exemplary Investigations No pictures of similar

products No captions

1-2 picture including a caption for 1 picture

2-3 Pictures of similar products including a caption for most pictures

4 pictures of similar products including captions

Possible Solutions 0-1 sketches with no pros/cons

0-1 sketches with pros/cons

0-2 sketches with pros/cons that are poorly related to concepts taught

2-3 sketches with pros/cons that mostly relate to the concepts taught during class

4 or more sketches with pros/cons that are well developed and relate to the concepts taught during class.

Chosen Solution No sketch-up drawing No paragraph justifying choice No dimensions

Sketch-up drawing missing dimensions Paragraph justify choice no related to pros/cons

Sketch-up drawing missing some dimensions Paragraph justifying the team’s choice vaguely related to pros/cons

Sketch-up drawing with dimensions Paragraph justifying the team’s choice based on pros/cons

Developmental Work

0-1 pictures No captions

1-2 with a caption for 1 picture 2-3 pictures no captions

2-3 pictures with captions for at least 2 pictures

3 or more pictures with captions

Product evaluation No evaluation of the product No evaluation of the group

Evaluation of the group shows that you did not participate in the group Product evaluation is documented

Evaluation of the group shows that you participated with the group but had a lighter work load Product evaluation is documented

Evaluation of the group shows that you participated equally with the other members of the group Product evaluation is documented
