    3. 4/26/2012 © 2000 Alexander Slocum 3 Teamwork? You MUST be a good designer in your own right, if you are to ever function effectively on a team Of course you are allowed to ask for help and exchange ideas…..that’s why this is a FUN course….. BUT, machines for the 2.007 contest MUST be substantially created and built by individual students! Team-based design of more complex systems will occur in following courses (2.008 & 2.009) You WILL experience a taste of teamwork in 2.007 by forming evaluation teams that evaluate each others progress on milestones before weekly lab instructor one-on-one meetings

    4. 4/26/2012 © 2000 Alexander Slocum 4 The 2001 2.007 Design Contest: Oops! HAL, I Tilted Again! “Rules”: Beam is locked level for first 10 seconds at the start, so machine weight might not be an advantage The beam and the pendulum mast tilt together about the torsion-spring loaded shaft “Score” is the angle of tilt of the mast at the end of 45 second contest What would you do? How would you go about designing and building a machine to participate? How would you balance your effort with all the other obligations you have? Can you swing it? This course will teach you how turn unstructured problems into: FUNstructured Opportunities!

Lecture Topics Topic 1: Design is a Passionate Process Topic 2: Creation of Ideas Topic 3: Fundamental Mechanical Design Principles Topic 4: Linkages Topic 5: Power Transmission Elements Topic 6: Vehicle Design Topic 7: Structural Design Topic 8: Hertz Contact and Kinematic Design Topic 9: Rolling Element Bearings Topic 10: Sliding & Flexing Bearings Topic 11: Triggers & Controls Topic 12: Robust Design Topic 13: Manufacturing Topic 14: Testing, Debugging, Documentation

    6. 4/26/2012 © 2000 Alexander Slocum 6 Labs The Registrar has assigned you to labs to minimize conflicts After lecture, come to the Pappalardo Lab to get your kit, and we will sort out any schedule conflicts Students MUST attend each and every lab section, or make arrangements with your instructor Students’ grades are SOLEY determined by how well they do in lab: Meeting weekly milestones (80%) How well the design is executed (20%) By meeting weekly milestones, the design will be well executed, AND students will not be stressed! NOT meeting weekly milestones, creates stress in students, faculty, and machines, and historical and statistical predictions indicate designs experience low pressure syndrome! In Lab, students will have a 20 minute one-on-one discussion with their instructor to review their progress, and their milestone reports

    7. 4/26/2012 © 2000 Alexander Slocum 7 Safety! SAFETY is of PRIME importance! You MUST wear safety goggles or glasses at ALL times in the shop and during the contest You must always wear closed-toe shoes! Tie up your hair and do NOT wear jewelry You may not build anything, which could damage or destroy another machine, or harm or disable another person, or disable, destroy, or modify the control system or the playing field. Your machine will be inspected for safety purposes before the recitation contest and again before the first night of competition. Your machine may be disqualified at any point if there is a perceived safety risk. Anything not explicitly disallowed is allowed; however, you should not do things against the spirit of the contest. Judges have the right to disqualify any machine that is not in the spirit of the contest. If you have questions you can submit a clarification to the Supreme Court. If it is a private question the Supreme Court will respond privately, but if it involves a change to a rule or is a frequently asked question it will be posted to all contestants.

    8. 4/26/2012 © 2000 Alexander Slocum 8 Project Management & Milestones (There is no such thing as a problem set!) ALL well-run projects use project management techniques (a schedule!) with defined tasks and Milestones Each student will create a Milestone Report that summarizes what-and-why things were done or decisions made Milestone reports are due in your instructor’s office each Friday unless otherwise arranged EACH week, you will get to meet with your instructor for a 20 minute one-on-one session To review your Milestone Report that was handed in the previous week To discuss tasks to be completed in order to meet the future milestones

Check List of Start-up items: Obtained Locker and Kit and checked Kit for completeness Played with the table and kit parts Made sure you are able to create solid models Made sure you are able to create spreadsheets (or use MathCAD or MatLab)

    13. 4/26/2012 © 2000 Alexander Slocum 13 Grading Good Engineers Earn respect by thinking “smart” not just thinking a lot! Just putting in long hours does not help Follow a schedule, and exchanges ideas with others Delivers on schedule without stressing-out themselves and everyone else Earn rewards by executing a deterministic design process Bad Engineers Have no respect for project management Puts things off and fails to meet milestones Have no respect for design process Think they can just cut-&-fit on the fly and change directions at random Works late hours the night before the ship-date and produces hacked designs The numbers: Meeting weekly milestones, including Milestone Reports (80%) How well the design is executed (20%)
