  3. Engineering Idol is not a Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) building contest Engineering Idol is an opportunity for you to experience the Profession of Engineering

  4. Concept Sketch Showing “Industrial Unit” Teams design/build this portion as they see fit Test Equipment includes Controls / Fans Flanges See www.engineeringidol.com for specifications (sizes, air flow, fan speed, control points) to be considered in joining your HRV to the test equipment

  5. Engineering involves creativity, technology and calculations BUT, Engineering is also about team work, selling yourself, dealing with difficult situations and behaving professionally at all times!

  6. Engineering Idol challenges you to demonstrate to the judges that your school has the best Engineering Team

  7. The Challenge • Your school is an international Engineering Firm competing for a contract • Your Supervising Teacher or Volunteer is your manager • Your team is made up of talented Engineers from several fields that develop proposals for Engineering Projects around the world

  8. The Challenge • Within your team should be individuals with various talents across several fields of engineering • A group of shrewd investors wishes to build a new type of economically viable HRV to be installed in houses in Canada • The investors have hired the 3 consultants (judges) to pick the team that will bring them the best success with this project

  9. Judging Criteria • Scientific thought • Originality • Skill in execution • Team cohesiveness • Written concept design report • Oral presentation

  10. Deliverables • January 5th, your list of team members should have been submitted • February 6th, your team will submit a Design Concept Report to Mr. Richard Weldon, P.Eng. • February 28th Competition Day – bring the following • Notes to talk with the judges • 4 – 5 minute oral presentation • Design and materials for building and testing your HRV • Receipts for materials (< $150)

  11. Consulting Time for You We have available to you a Mechanical Engineer who is an expert in the field of energy efficient design of building mechanical systems The Technical Expert will act as a consultant for your team From now until Competition Day, your team can send a total of 3 emails (maximum 100 words of questions per email)

  12. Designing and Building Your HRV The design and performance of your HRV is a small portion of the team evaluation You are required to cost effectively select and purchase the materials to build the HRV You should research a proposed HRV Design that you will create on Competition Day The written concept design report includes your proposed design, your list of materials and cost

  13. Your HRV • You have been given 2 flanges as the interface between your HRV and the test equipment • The test equipment houses all fans and mechanical equipment that will force air through the flanges into your HRV • The technical specifications for the test equipment (e.g flow rates) are found on the website www.engineeringidol.com

  14. EQUIPMENT SET UP

  15. You Need Approval for Materials! Your design and material list, as submitted in the Design Concept Report, MUST first be approved before you can buy the materials (due February 6, 2009 to Richard Weldon)

  16. The Competition Day February 28, 2009 • 10 am at Father John Redmond Catholic Secondary School, 28 Colonel Samuel Smith Park Drive, Etobicoke • Lunch will be provided • Basic hand & power tools will be provided • Let us know if you require special tools • Photos will be taken • Politicians will be coming • Professional Engineers Ontario will be there • Your friends and family may like to be there for the awards and HRV testing (after 2:00 PM)

  17. The Competition Day • Bring your notes – evidence to the judges that you have come prepared • Bring your 4 – 5 minute presentation – you will present it to the judges and to the public audience • Bring your HRV materials and design – we will spend the day building, tweaking and then testing the designs!

  18. Presentations • Only 1 rule – all team members need to participate • Use the presentation to sell your team and design to the judges • What engineering design elements will you discuss during your presentation?
