Task
The Department of Mechanical Engineering hosts a DESIGN EXPO every semester allowing student design teams to show off the work they have accomplished. It is also an opportunity for the department to show others (students, faculty, and public) what mechanical engineering design is about. This is your team’s best opportunity to market your design to others. In this assignment the teams will create a ME Design Expo poster that summarizes the design process results. This poster will be presented to diverse audiences and the team will also have their prototype at the Design Expo. The team members will have a schedule for different team members to staff their Design Poster and Prototype location. The Design Expo includes all sections of ME 270.
Keys to success on this assignment is to allocate work and to maximize the roles/responsibilities within the team. The team’s schedule will be key to ensure that there is coverage at their ME Design Expo location to answer questions that might be asked by a diverse audience.
The Team must submit a poster using the PPTX template provided in Canvas and provide a schedule indicating who will be transporting the prototype to the EXPO, who will be staffing your stand/display at given times for the DESIGN EXPO, and who will clean up. Each team must assist in breaking down the displays and returning projects to classroom.
Grading Criteria
Grading is based on the “Submission Deliverable(s) Expectations” outlined in the assignment document. This is reflected in the grading rubric available to students on the Canvas once the assignment is opened.
In this assignment, teams will develop a final presentation that will include the incorporation of a voice-over video that highlights the functionality of the design. Teams have flexibility with the voice-over video. The video could be completed by utilizing CAD animation/motion study or a video of the prototype’s functionality while going through the testing process.
In order to successfully complete this assignment, the teams must interact/discuss both in-class and on MS Teams (if needed) the roles/responsibilities that will lead to workload allocation in this assignment. The teams have a lot of flexibility in the video production, and are encouraged to share ideas in consultation with the instructor. The assignment provides the time constraints and specific instructions. A key success factor is to follow the instructions in the assignment and consult with the instructor when questions/concerns arise, and clarity is needed.
This activity will help you to develop…
- Module Objective 1: Students will be able to function effectively in selected role (CLO2)
- Module Objective 4: Students will able to explain the final design concept process to others using written and oral presentation methods (CLO2)
- Module Objective 5: Students will be able to explain/communicate the engineering design process results to diverse audiences (CLO2, CLO3, CLO4)
- Module Objective 8: Students will be able to explain/communicate the impact of incorporating the three pillars of sustainability in the final design (CLO4)
Task
Teams will develop a presentation of a final design based on work throughout the semester. Teams develop a voice-over video highlighting prototype functionality. The final presentation will include the incorporation of the video. The final presentation format and content is outline in the assignment document.
Grading Criteria
Grading is based on the “Expectations of Assignment Deliverables” outlined in the assignment document. This is reflected in the grading rubric available to students on the Canvas once the assignment is opened.
In this assignment, teams will develop a final report utilizing the provided template. Teams will incorporate previous assignments structured summaries of design tool use and results that possess appropriate structure, grammar and tone to develop the final report. To complete the assignment, teams must interact/discuss both in-class and on MS Teams (if needed) the roles/responsibilities that will lead to workload allocation in this assignment. Proper documentation and reporting is extremely important for design engineering projects. In ME 270, you are reporting on your project at the Design Expo, a final presentation, and a final report. These documents will be used by future students who can learn from your work. Your audience for the report are key stakeholders or people who have technical knowledge of mechanical engineering, and/or are familiar with your project throughout the semester.
Keys to success are to allocate the work tasks and to utilize the summaries that have been developed throughout the semester. These are key inputs into the final report. Following the template provided ensure that the content required is included in the report. The team will have components that were completed by the previous allocation of work task based on the roles/responsibilities, and completing the final report will be a team-based effort.

Task
Teams will develop a engineering design team final report based on the results of the semester’s journey. The team will propose a final design based on improvements/modifications that needed to be made during the fabrication and/or testing phase. The team will create a business plan to document viability and development of the design. The final report will document the DFSS design process, and communicate this project, results, and proposed design improvements.
Grading Criteria
Grading is based on the “Expectations of Assignment Deliverables” outlined in the assignment document. This is reflected in the grading rubric available to students on the Canvas once the assignment is opened.
In this assignment, students will individually complete a peer assessment of team colleagues and self. This assignment will help you learn more about how your peers perceive your contributions to teamwork, interaction with teammates, efforts to keep team on track, and expectations for quality.
Keys to success on this assignment are for students to both quantitatively rate their team colleagues and themselves, and qualitatively by providing comments to back up their ratings.
