Advanced Energy Vehicle

1. Advanced Energy Vehicle Topics: Introduction, Design Review Phases, AEV Components, & Mission Concept Review

2. Introduction AEVs are small (< 500grams), autonomous, electric motor-powered, propeller-driven vehicles that are suspended from and maneuver along a monorail track systems hung from the laboratory ceilings Example AEV

3. Project Objectives • Project Management and Teamwork • Time management, task scheduling, communication, etc. • Design Process and Cycle • Indentifying requirements/constraints, brainstorming, initial designs, build/test/analyze, final design, etc. • Project Documentation • Project notebook, design review phase documents, final reports, extra credit video, etc.

4. Project Management and Teamwork • To successfully bring any complex project to completion requires proper planning and the coordinated effort of a group of people • Expected to produce related documents such as a project schedule and team meeting records, all of which must be regularly updated and kept in the team project notebook(discussed next week) • Additional information is included in the Project Description Document

5. Design Process and Cycle • Process includes: identifying the project requirements and constraints, gathering background information, brainstorming, identification and management of materials, preliminary analysis & initial design, and the build/test/modify/document cycle • As part of this process, you will brainstorm initial concepts of your AEV, produce a preliminary design of your AEV, document revisions as they occur, and produce a final paper design that accurately reflects your final AEV design • Review Engineering Design Process material from 1181

6. Project Documentation • Your project documentation consists of three parts: the team project notebook, the oral presentation and the final written report • The team project notebook is the complete documentation of the AEV project, which will be reviewed on a weekly basis. It should contain your lab documentation, paper design, team meeting minutes, project management documents, and anything else of importance relating to the AEV • Additional information is included in the Project Description Document

7. AEV Video • In addition to the required documentation components, an AEV Video can be completed for up to 2% extra credit on your overall grade • Here is a short example video

10. Design Review Phases

11. AEV Design Review Phases • Demonstrate the design process through a series of review phases • A design review is described as a: "documented, comprehensive examination of the design to evaluate the adequacy of the design requirements“ • The Mission Concept Review (MCR) is an example of an early review phase; and, in this case, is provided.

12. AEV Design Review Phases Procedure • AEV design teams will demonstrate the design by: • Developing Test Readiness Review Documents to demonstrate that the team is prepared to meet the Performance Test Objectives • Developing a Preliminary Design Review Documentfrom laboratory tests and Performance Test 1 • Developing a Critical (Final) Design Review Documentfrom detailed investigations in design, including the PDR, and Performance Tests 2-4

13. AEV Design Review Phases Overview • Mission Concept Review (provided) • Final Documentation
