1 GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering ME 2110 - Creative Decisions and Design, Fall 2023 Final Project – Interim (Alternatives) Design Report/Presentation The purpose of this assignment is to communicate the progress being made on your final design with the design and management plans being used to prepare for and participate in the Final Competition. Your team will be responsible for the following deliverables. 1. Report (85%) This is a team assignment. You and your team members must collectively produce a report formatted as a PDF-file that is to be uploaded in Canvas before the start of the week 10 Studio . The report is to include a cover page followed by a maximum of 4 pages of text using 12-point font, 1-inch margins, and 1.5-line spacing. An appendix that does not contribute toward the page limit can be added to incorporate figures and tables. Use page numbers at the bottom of each page. (Page 1 begins with the report body, which usually begins with an introduction.) The submission should include the following: Cover Page: See the attached example. The cover page is to include the title of the assignment, section information (e.g., name/number), instructor name, TA name, and team member names. It is to be on its own separate page, which does not count toward the page limit. Abstract: This is a one-paragraph summary of what the reader should expect to learn if the report body is read. It should summarize the objective of your work, your approach, and an explanation as to how the objective was met (or why the objective was not met). The Abstract should be on its own separate page. It does not count toward the page limit. Report body: This is a written technical document that conveys information in an objective and fact-based manner, consisting of three key features: process, progress, and results. Write in the third-person, and consider presenting content in the following progression for clarity:  Introduction: Restate the problem, highlighting the goal of the study and inherent design challenges associated with achieving this goal. (Design challenges pertain to what you are trying to optimize and what you are constrained by in the design problem.)  Problem Understanding: Review the functions required of the system being designed for the Final Competition with a range of physical mechanisms and solution principles that can be used to address these required functions. This section should include a Function Tree and a Morphological Chart .  Conceptual Design: Using the morphological chart, propose four different robotic designs for use in the competition, giving a description of how each design operates. Provide a discussion that summarizes the evaluation process used to rank the four designs and identify one that is preferred. This section should include a Concept Evaluation Matrix .

2  Design Overview: Provide a detailed description of the preferred design. Include quality figures that show its parts. Discuss how the required functions are accomplished and how the system is designed to operate. Present and describe the subsystems of the device. Discuss target specifications of the system. Present and describe an algorithm that accounts for sensing, control, and execution of the system from initial triggering to shut down. Support the description using a flow chart.  Fabrication and Test: Discuss the fabrication approach, machines, and materials being used to build the preferred design. (Consider including figures/pictures.) Provide an initial bill-of-material (BOM). Discuss testing plans for the final assembled system. Discuss any build and test results obtained to date.  Management Plan: Provide a Gantt chart that communicates your project management plan with tasks and milestones from when the project was assigned to the date of the competition. Include time estimates for the fabrication of components and their assembly. Assign responsibilities.  Conclusion: Summarize your report with key results. If the objective of the study was achieved, explain how. If not, explain why. Discuss potential next steps with any final thoughts. Appendix: Figures and tables should NOT be included in the report body; rather, they should be placed in an appendix. Each figure is to be presented in such a way as to match the sequential order of its respective citation within the report body. Figure captions go below the figure . Tables are to be similarly cited, but with their captions placed above the table . All fonts in the figures and tables must be easily visible. All figures and tables must be cited in the report body. Contributions statement: See the attached example. Your team should include a brief statement for each member of your team indicating the respective contributions made to the report, including the writing, drawing, editing, and reviewing of content and illustrations. The statement is to be on its own separate page. It does not count toward the page limit. 2. Presentation (15%) In Studio Week 10, your team is to deliver a PowerPoint presentation summarizing your report. The presentation is limited to a maximum of 10 minutes . It should include an agenda, a restatement of the problem, a discussion that justifies the development of four potential robotic designs for use in the competition (concept generation), justification for the selection of a preferred design (evaluation matrix), and a management plan for its delivery. The preferred design should be discussed in detail with an approach for fabrication and test. The management plan should include a Gantt chart that communicates your key tasks and milestones from when the project was assigned to the date of the competition. A copy of the presentation should be submitted in PDF form to Canvas before the start of the Studio. One person on your team will give this presentation. 3. Peer Evaluation. You will be evaluating the performance of your peers and yourself on the project team. A sample peer evaluation form is provided on the ME2110 Canvas website. The peer evaluation should be submitted in PDF form through Canvas before the deadline.
