GOALS FOR 3rd TRIMESTER

Reminder:  You are in charge of the 3rd Trimester.


I need the following by next class -

1)  Goals for you final product:

Include what it will look like
How it will function (or limits to its function)
What material you will use


2)  Methods of Testing:

Qualitative - Not numerical. Could be feedback from a user or mentor.

Quantitative - Some data that is numerical in nature (i.e.  how often does it work? Is there an experiment that can test it?)

**You still need bi-weekly blogposts**

Rough Draft - Design Proposal

I will be out starting Friday and will not return to school until Thursday the 20th.  I know - awesome!  While I am out, please take the research you have done and turn it into a Design Proposal.  For this rough draft, we will use the format from Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth.

Here is a link to some example proposals.  You should use them as a template and consider the headings they have.  If you have questions, find the answers (i.e. what exactly is a deliverable?).  They are due by next Thursday.

Reminder that working in a group of 2 or 3 is suggested, so consider shopping your ideas around to the group.

CAD "Final" Rubric

Here is the CAD Modeling Rubric that I will use to assess your knowledge, skill, and creativity using Fusion360.  It is an adapted rubric first developed by Bryan Kroh or Daedalus, Inc. (an Engineering/Design firm that we have a City as Our Campus partnership).  The criteria established in the rubric are authentic through the lens of real-world designers and engineers.

Reminder of "what" you need to model for the Final - one of the following:

Something Rubber-band Powered

Karakuri Moving Model

Bottle-cap 2nd Life

Added Course Resources

Some of you would like to reference study guides or tutorials that reinforce the steps we have been covering to properly create our 3D models.  I have added some links to the Course Resources tab for you to use as needed.
