Presentation Transcript

  1. Product Dissection • Reverse engineering • Ref: The manufacturing engineering education partnership - 1996

  2. Retention versus Method-how much do we retain? • Reading 10% • Hearing Words 20% • Looking at Pictures 30% • Watching a Movie 50% • Looking at an Exhibit 50% • Watching a Demonstration 50% • Seeing it Done 50% • Participating in Discussion 70% • Giving a Talk 70% • Simulating Real Experience 90% • Doing the Real Thing 90%

  3. Our Level of Involement 10% of what we read 70% of what we say Active 90% of what we both say and do

  4. Why take something apart? • Curiosity • To fix it • Learn from real engineering success and failures • To see how it is made • Evaluate the competition and look for alternatives

  5. Report • COVER PAGE: Your Names, Date, MCEG/ELEG 1012, “Reverse Engineering Report,” and the name of the device on the cover sheet. • INTRODUCTION: What is the purpose of this project? • SKETCH: Include a sketch of the device. Digital picture • DISASSEMBLY: A description of what you actually did in taking apart and analyzing your device. Include your notes • HOW IT OPERATES: describing how you think the device works, • SAFETY: Describe how safety is built into this device. • ECONOMICS: How much did the device cost? Explain how the device is made in order to keep the price low. • DESIGN CONSTRAINTS: Are there other restrictions on the design: Height? Weight? Length? Volume? Material? Cost? Etc. • IMPROVEMENTS: How could the device be made better? Safer? More Reliable? Less Expensive? • SUMMARY: What did you learn on this project?

  6. Constraints: • Size • Shape • Weight • $ • function

  7. Examples • Electric can opener • Electric tooth brush • Battery powered pencil sharpener • Electric drill • NOTHING dangerous: i.e. machine gun, etc! • Price ~ $10, I will buy if you ask me. • “Product Dissection: Toastmaster Hand Mixer”
