Midterm, Formal Design Project
Description:
Module: Mechatronic Product Design and Team Formation. Students are introduced to the engineering product-development process and the integration of mechanical, electrical, computing, sensing, actuation, and control systems. Teams establish roles, communication practices, decision-making procedures, documentation standards, and expectations for individual accountability. Module: Problem Identification and Ethical Context. Teams identify potential problems through observation, stakeholder engagement, industry needs, or emerging technical opportunities. Students develop preliminary problem statements while considering public welfare, safety, accessibility, privacy, cybersecurity, sustainability, and professional engineering ethics. Module: Customer and Stakeholder Needs. Students gather information from customers, users, sponsors, operators, maintainers, and other stakeholders through interviews, surveys, observation, or contextual inquiry. Teams organize this information into clearly stated customer needs without prematurely defining a technical solution. Module: Background Research, Patents, and Benchmarking. Teams investigate prior work through scholarly literature, patent databases, industry standards, commercial products, and technical performance data. Students evaluate source credibility, identify intellectual-property considerations, compare existing solutions, and determine opportunities for innovation or improvement. Module: Functional Analysis and System Requirements. Students define what the product must accomplish and translate customer needs into measurable engineering requirements. Teams establish performance targets and constraints involving motion, force, accuracy, speed, power, sensing, control, communication, safety, cost, size, and operating environment. Module: Teams use structured brainstorming, functional decomposition, morphological charts, and other ideation methods to produce multiple system and subsystem concepts. Students explore alternative approaches to mechanisms, actuators, sensors, electronics, embedded control, power, communication, interfaces, and physical configuration. Module: Concept Evaluation and Selection. Students compare alternative concepts using weighted decision matrices, technical feasibility, stakeholder value, risk, ethics, cost, complexity, and expected performance. Teams document the basis for selecting a preferred concept and identify assumptions requiring further testing. Module: Mechatronic System Architecture.

The module emphasizes interface definition, requirements allocation, signal and power flow, integration planning, and identification of critical dependencies. Module: Design Parameters and Component Selection. Students establish quantitative design parameters and begin selecting motors, actuators, sensors, controllers, mechanical components, power supplies, communication devices, and structural materials. Teams use calculations, manufacturer data, technical standards, and appropriate safety factors to justify preliminary selections. Module: Project Planning and Milestones. Teams develop a project plan identifying tasks, responsibilities, dependencies, resources, costs, risks, milestones, and design-review points. Students use project-management tools to monitor progress and revise the plan as technical findings, resource limitations, or stakeholder needs change. Module: Feasibility Study Design. Students identify the highest-risk technical, economic, operational, safety, or integration assumptions within the proposed product. Teams design studies, experiments, simulations, or prototypes that generate evidence about whether the selected concept can satisfy its principal requirements. Module: Engineering Analysis and Modeling. Teams apply mechanical, electrical, computational, and control-system analyses to predict product performance. Work may include force and torque calculations, power budgets, circuit analysis, thermal estimates, control models, sensor evaluation, communication analysis, simulations, and tolerance studies. Module: Critical-Function Prototyping. Students construct focused prototypes to demonstrate the most important or uncertain functions of the product. These prototypes allow teams to evaluate mechanisms, actuators, sensors, electronics, software, control strategies, and subsystem interfaces before developing the integrated alpha prototype. Module: Concept Testing and Stakeholder Feedback. Teams test concepts or preliminary prototypes with representative users, customers, sponsors, or technical reviewers. Students gather structured feedback, compare results with requirements, and revise the design, specifications, architecture, or implementation plan as appropriate. Module 15 - Alpha Prototype Integration. Students integrate the mechanical, electrical, computing, sensing, actuation, and control subsystems into an alpha prototype. The prototype should demonstrate the product's principal functions sufficiently to support engineering evaluation, although appearance, reliability, manufacturability, and optimization may remain preliminary. Module: Verification, Troubleshooting, and Risk Review. Teams develop and execute a preliminary verification plan comparing prototype performance with established engineering requirements. Students troubleshoot subsystem and integration problems, document unresolved risks, and identify priorities for improvement during the second course in the product design sequence. Module: Formal Design Review. Teams prepare a professional design report and present the project to faculty and industry reviewers. The review communicates the problem, customer needs, research, benchmarks, requirements, concept-selection process, system architecture, feasibility findings, engineering analysis, alpha-prototype performance, risks, and proposed next steps.
