1 Present a design solution through a range of communication techniques appropriate to the target audience.
2 Prepare design specifications and solutions to meet a stakeholder's design brief and requirements.
3 Select, apply and justify appropriate approaches, methods and tools to a variety of engineering design problems.
4 Produce an industry-standard engineering technical design report.
5 Select and use computer-based technology in the design process.
1 Following on from the first TMA in this module, produce a design report for one design of the product based on one of the scenarios covered on the following pages. The report should contain, where appropriate:
• Title page
• Acknowledgements
• Summary
• Contents
• Introduction
• Basic Product Design Specification
• Design Parameters
• Simple Description of chosen Design
• Design Evaluation
• Detailed drawings of the design, including dimensions, such that its constructional features can be seen*
• Conclusions
• References
• Appendices
Drawings should be submitted as complete engineering drawings done using CAD (or other suitable software). If the maximum size of printing is A4 then several sheets, each showing a different view of the design, will probably be needed to show sufficient detail for the design to be constructed. In this case, all views should be clearly labelled and all sheets numbered. Only computer-produced drawings will be marked; it is not acceptable to submit hand-drawn work. Please submit copies of the drawings within the report (.PDF) and in addition, upload the computer files of the drawings (.DWG).
Design a suitable rack that can be made using Fred's materials and equipment. It is not necessary to worry about stresses: the materials are capable of exceeding the strength requirements of any design. In addition, the rack should be designed to ‘look right'.
You will be required to draw a plan view of the front panel to show the mounting of the various controls, etc.This TMA will form the basis of a design project which will be completed in TMA 2. You should therefore think carefully about which of the following Case Studies you choose, based on your knowledge of the theory and practice of the product chosen.
For ONE of the case studies given on the next page, complete the following:
1 Derive at least four concept designs to satisfy the given specification. Use short written descriptions and simple sketches to illustrate your ideas. Show evidence of the use of the following techniques when creating your designs:
• Brainstorming
• Synectics
• Morphological Chart
2 Use the weighted objective method to select your best solution from these concept designs.
3 What other information would be required to be able to write a more complete Product Design Specification? (Use an objective tree to clarify and expand upon the vague brief given.)
Case Studies
Choose ONE of the following.
(a) As a keen, but economically challenged, cyclist you need a means of carrying two bicycles whilst travelling between destinations on a touring holiday in your small car which has a tow bar fitted.
OR
(b) An analogue/digital circuit trainer is required for students to construct circuits. The design requires:
• the ability to build circuits
• associated power supply
• a suitable waveform generator
• a means of measuring current, voltage and resistance
