From the syllabus: Subsystem Tests and Demonstrations • Engineered products are typically composed of sub-systems which need to be designed and tested individually prior to integrating them together as the final product. Successful testing of subsystems are the natural milestones that need to be accomplished prior to integrating the sub-systems together. The projects in this course need to be managed in this fashion. ….. Engineering Design Report • Each student must submit an engineering design report that outlines the design process for a specific component or subsystem for which they were the lead. …..
Subsystem Diagrams and (Mechanical, Electrical, and Software) Concept Diagrams Help Fill the Gap • A way to explain your “area of responsibility” • A way to go “general to specific” without losing the audience • A way to relate your ideas to you team
Subsystem Diagrams • Highlight the key elements and operation of a portion of your product • May include mechanical, electrical, and software elements • Should relate to the bigger product CO2 Cartridge An example: “The Extinguisher” from The Fire Fighting Robot (2012/12) Regulator Exhaust
Concept Diagrams • Can be mechanical, electrical, or software in nature • Emphasize some general idea(s) with few details Tape Line sensor
Software concepts Locate Fire Tone Decoder = 1 Fire < 1ft Alarm = On STOP Fire = 0 END Return to Start
What else? • Need labels • Terminology must match preceding and following slides • Follow up with calculations and final (detailed) drawings • The ordering of slides is up to your group
