clockwise direction. If any part of a T is in the volume of space above a zone, then it is considered to bepartially in the zone.

Tiebreaker.

In the case of a tie score, the following tiebreakers will be applied in order until one team is declaredvictorious. 1) The team that scored the most points from getting sleep. 2) The team that received thehighest grade points. 3) Coin toss.

The methods of scoring are summarized in Table 1.

2.5 GradingThe 15% of your grade that comes from your machine performance is divided into five components, as shownin Table 2.

Individual Preliminary.

Devices that do not move, or are disqualified, score -10 points per attempt. (Devices that move, but fail tomove the F out of the zone score -8 points.) Devices that score the maximum value of 0 after 3 tries willget 1 grade point. Devices that score -30 (the worst possible), will get 0 points. All other scores come froma linear interpolation between -30 (0 grade pts) and 0 (1 grade pt).

Individual Final.

Devices that do not move or are disqualified score -10 points per attempt. Only the 3 pillows along the leftside of your zone will be in play. The sum of your three attempts will be ranked as a percentage of thescoring range in the entire class. The top scoring device will get 2 points. The lowest score will get 0 points.All other scores come from a linear interpolation between these values.

Team Preliminary.

Devices that do not move or are disqualified score -10 points per attempt. The sum of your three attemptswill be ranked against teams in all studio sections. The scores are linearly interpolated between a maximumscore of 2 and a minimum score of 0.

Qualifying.

Each team will compete several times. The sum total from all tests will be used to rank the teams withinthe studio section. The scores are linearly interpolated between a maximum score of 2 and a minimum scoreof 0.

Design Review

•  Judged on: –  Ingenuity (Design Process and Creativity) –  Aesthetics (Machine, Poster, Team) –  Presentation (Technical Communication)

•  Judges include industry sponsors, faculty, and graduate students

11

Judging

12

1.  State how many points you expect to score 2.  State what your machine is going to do, and

how reliably it completes objectives 3.  Show which subsystems obtain which

points 4.  Demonstrate a subsystem (maybe) 5.  Be ready to explain A) What’s clever,

B) What’s unreliable, C) Why you chose this design, D) How much did it cost

Poster Presentation Tips

•  Draw attention, capture, and close •  All team members should be able to present the

same overview of the design •  Think about how to best display your device •  Don’t waste too much time/space explaining the

contest •  Easels not provided

Final Report – Suggested Outline

24

Cover Page Abstract Table of Contents I.  Introduction II.  Design Objectives III.  Design Overview IV.  Alternative Designs V.  Discussion VI.  Conclusions Figures and Tables

Abstract

25

•  State Problem or Need

•  Project Goals •  Solutions and Project Results

–  Final Competition results –  Judging Results

•  What specifically is presented in the report

Introduction

26

•  Problem Definition –  State the main objectives (needs) –  What key constraints existed?

•  Engineering Challenges –  NOT the same as the rules or constraints –  NOT the same as the contest tasks

•  What is contained in the report –  “… Section III describes the Four Point O

design. …”

Design Objectives

27

•  Describe: –  Problem Understanding Analysis –  Design Specifications –  Functional Decomposition

•  State and briefly justify your assumptions

•  Avoid “throwing in” design/planning tools that do not help with your explanation

Design Overview

28

•  Present the complete machine –  How many points are expected to be scored? –  What are the subsystems? –  Describe operation of the device (use a flowchart) –  Full system figures

•  Give overall dimensions •  Use multiple figures to describe function and

motion, e.g. ‘Before’ and ‘After’ views •  Label subsystems

–  How much did the machine cost? (show Bill of Materials)

Subsystem Description

29

•  Subsections of Design Overview Section •  Divide descriptions up by subsystem

–  Give details of each subsystem •  What function or goal does this address? •  What are its features? •  How does it work?

–  Use “zoomed” figures or separate figures for each subsystem

•  Label critical dimensions

Alternative Designs

30

•  Describe at least four (4) concept alternatives –  1-2 Paragraphs –  1-2 Figures (before and after deployment, or

illustrate motion)

(Results and) Discussion

31

•  Exists to justify selected design and analyze the results

•  HOW was the design selected? –  Why did you choose the one you did? (Concept Eval.)

•  WHAT were the results?

•  WHY did the device perform well (or poorly)? Analyze the results in light of the HOW.

Results (WHAT)

32

•  Present Numerical Results –  Competition –  Design Review

•  How did this performance differ from the expected performance? –  What were the performance specifications? –  Justify the expected performance

•  Engineering analysis •  Tables of scores from prototyping trials

–  Identify differences between expectation and performance, and possible causes

Analysis (WHY)

33

•  Discuss in terms of the design process •  What assumptions were correct?… incorrect? •  What items were weighted too heavily?… too

lightly? •  Discussion of design strengths and weaknesses

–  Where and how did these manifest in your design process?

•  What would you change and/or improve on your design? How would these improve performance?

Conclusion

34

•  Outlines what was presented in the report –  Should not introduce any new information

•  Include relevant numerical results –  Competition –  Design Review

•  Make a CONCLUSION –  i.e. The design failed because… or the design

succeeded for these reasons…

Final Presentation

35

•  Less than 10 minutes (~10-11 slides) •  One speaker •  Clearly labeled figures •  Content similar to final report •  Follow guidelines in lectures from

Drs. Singhose and Donnell

Suggested Contents

36

•  Title Slide •  Introduction and Problem Definition •  2-3 main design tools (the most important to

YOUR design process) •  Chosen Design (complete system) •  Chosen Design subsystems •  Alternative concepts •  Highest order evaluation matrix you used •  Results and Analysis •  Closing Summary

Remember Me’s

•  Your studio instructor determines your grade •  Test your device and competition prep. thoroughly •  Start your report and presentation now •  Ask your TA and instructor for advice!
