  4. Meeting Purpose • Update customer on current progress of the project • Looking for feedback from all stakeholders • Want to make sure team and customer are on the same page with needs and requirements

  5. Problem Background • Students in the Mechanical Engineering department currently take a sequence of experimental courses, one of which is MECE – 301 Engineering Applications Lab. • GOAL: a common lecture period for all sections, and then a weekly, simpler experiments that students will also run independently.

  6. Problem Statement and Deliverables • The purpose of this senior design project is to design and produce a number of laboratory modules that will eventually be used in the engineering course MECE – 301 Engineering Applications Lab • Three to four modules used to provide a set of advanced investigative scenarios that will be simulated by theoretical and/or computational methods.

  7. Stakeholders MSD Team RIT Professors & Faculty RIT Engineering Students

  8. Use Scenarios • In the lab students will analyze a module which inspire an experiment which will include a theoretical, and experimental analysis of the module. • After completing this experiment, the students should have a firmer grasp on basic engineering principles and processes.

  9. Prioritized List of Needs • Requests 3 modules at minimum; 4 or 5 are preferred • Modules may be of different technical challenge and complexity • All modules must emphasize practical engineering experiences. • Each module should be interesting to the students • Modules should bridge applications areas, such as electromechanical or electrochemical • All modules should use commercially-off-the-shelf equipment to enable maintenance and sustainability of module use over many semesters of student enjoyment • At least one module should have analysis challenges that are at or beyond student learning from core coursework

  10. Prioritized List of Needs Continued • All modules should be able to: • Fully configured, utilized, and returned by student engineers • Stand alone; contain everything they need without borrowing from other sources • Have a high level of flexibility and expansion allowing for many engineering opportunities • Be robust and safe

  11. Engineering Requirements • To Be Determined when Modules are Chosen • Each Module will have own Engineering Requirements

  12. Risk Management

  13. Draft of the Project Plan

  14. Possible Ideas • Mass-Spring dampener system (Data Acquisition/Dynamics/Differential Equations) • Cooling System for Electrical System (Heat Transfer/Circuits) Windmill • http://www.instructables.com/id/Making-a-Desktop-Case-Fan/ • Hydraulic Lifting Arm/Complete Trust/ Bridge • (Fluids/Dynamics) • Hand Charged Flashlight • Inverted Pendulum • Plane Engine/Propeller thrust • Vibrating Plate/ Chladniplate • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRFysSAxWxI • Low Tem Sterling Differential Engine • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2rD-3FYnz0

  15. Looking Forward to Week 6… • Continue Researching, Brainstorming and conducting interviews with stakeholders for more information • Solidify Customer Needs and Engineering Requirements • Identify Risks Associated with each module • Chosen 5 or 6 modules we hope to work on • Begin drawings and design modules
