As a final
assignment in this class, you are asked to work in teams and make a
presentation to your class on “How Something Works?†and submit a written
technical report. The following steps and discussion will help explain this
task.
1.
Once
your team is identified, get with your team members and decide on an object
that you want to further explore. Since there is time constraint on this
assignment, try to pick something that is interesting and challenging, but is
doable in the given time. A common product or engineering device with a daily
application is best.
2.
Research
the history of the device. How, Where, When and by whom was it invented?
3.
How
does it work? What types of energies are involved? What does it operate on?
What are the components that make up this device? Make a list of the components
and materials that
make
up its assembly. Discus the manufacturing processes used to produce the various
parts.
4.
Who
are the manufactures? What options are available? What is the cost to the consumer?

5.
How
would you improve this product? What would you change? How would that impact
the
final
product performance and cost?
These are
some of the ideas that your presentation and final report should include. Each
team will make a presentation that is 15 minutes in duration. Each member of
the team is expected to participate in the presentation. PowerPoint should be
used for these presentations.
Additional
points will be given for creativity and a well-documented package. Your final
project package would be uploaded into Moodle and should include the following:

·
·The
Power Point presentation used in class.
·
·A
written report addressing all the points previously discussed. The report is
double-spaced and in
the
order of 20 pages in length. The exact report format (i.e. Abstract,
Introduction, Body,
Conclusion)
will be discussed in class.
·
·Solid
models of two of the components described in the device.
·
·A
color copy of all the charts and figures shown in class.
