7. Team #4: Decision Making • All decisions for our group will be made by a majority vote. If teams cannot make effective decisions according to their agreed upon guideline, they may appeal to their Lab Assistant and upwards to the Professor/Lecturer. The Professor/Lecturer has the final call on any decision

8. Project 1: Auto Adjustable Monitor • According to the users sign in name and an adjustable setting for each profile, when the user logs in the height of the screen will adjust to the correct ergonomic height. • Performance: Ergonomic, Convenience • This project is a good fit because it is feasible for everyday use.

10. Auto Adjustable Monitor Description: The height of the computer monitor will change with a user input. This input can either be done manually or be a programmed setting in a computer. This product will improve the comfort of the user since the ergonomics of the workstation will improve.

11. Project 2: Card Counting Device • Two buttons that trigger a count of + or – 1 for each card that is dealt in a game of Blackjack. A net sum is recorded which can be provided to the user at any given time to give a favorable mathematical edge. • Performance: Consumer Profit • This project is a good fit because a member of our group is a specialist in the area.

13. Card Counting Device Description: The card counter will be a home teaching device that will teach a user card counting techniques that can be applied in a casino. The user will hit buttons to count the cards and practice making appropriate bets depending on the results. While a card counting device in a casino is illegal, it is not illegal to teach the practice.

14. Project 3: Light Motion Sensor • When a motion sensor is tripped the lights in the home and garage will be activated to a varying brightness depending on the time of day and outside sunlight. • Performance: Energy Conservation, Convenience, Safety • This project is a good fit because it is feasible, many blocks, and it is affordable to produce on our budget.

16. Light Motion Sensor Description: When a motion sensor is tripped the lights in the home and garage will be activated to a varying brightness depending on the time of day and outside sunlight. The product will help conserve energy by restricting light usage throughout the day, be convenient, and provide extra lighting at night for safety while walking between the grage and the user’s home.

17. Selection Matrix

18. Proposed Product Summary Selected Product Remote Controlled Car Entertainment Details Miniature toy replica of a car, controlled remotely. Primary use of product is for entertainment. With proximity sensors, user is less likely to break product by running it into a wall. The car will include a web cam for remote viewing, also with the proximity sensors will include damage protection. Yes there are similar products, but not identical due to fact of added damage protection and remote viewing. Major industry family the product belongs to is consumer toys.

19. Project Selection Overall Selection Process The remote controlled car project provided more challenges and involved more complex aspects than the other projects. Major risks involve making sure all of our components work together well. Because our product contains moving parts, it is important that they work according to our specifications because safety concerns. Our other projects were rejected because they did not have enough blocks in the diagrams to satisfy our electronic requirements. This project was unanimously supported by all five members of our group.

20. System Level Requirements Slides Performance Requirements Remote controlled (frequency band) Forward and Reverse, left and right steering, power Proximity sensors Detection of distance from nearby objects and emergency power shut off if car gets too close Operating camera Web cam attached to front of car for optional viewing on a user’s computer screen Light sensor Lights attached to the car will be adjustable (on/off) according to the light needed.

26. Ethics Considerations Since this is an entertainment product, the group did not see much room for conflicts of interest, bribery, and kickbacks. Safety can be an issue though; since children could play with the car, we’d have to make sure that the moveable parts are safe. Also, while driving the car, someone could be hit, and it could hurt someone’s foot or leg. Legally, our remote controlled car could have problems if it is not differentiated enough from other cars in the market. Since remote controlled cars have been being manufactured for years, the idea is probably in the public domain. Environmentally, the group doesn’t see any major considerations that must be made. We could try to find a more efficient power source, since batteries must be thrown away or recharged. Also, we could use more environmentally friendly solder and materials to minimize the effects of lead and other hazardous materials found in many components.

27. Ethics/Societal Considerations • Since this is an entertainment product, the group did not see much room for conflicts of interest, bribery, and kickbacks. Safety can be an issue though; since children could play with the car, we’d have to make sure that the moveable parts are safe. To mitigate this we would have to assign an appropriate age group for operation of this product as well as cautionary reminders to prevent misuse or abuse of the product. • Also, while driving the car, someone could be hit, and it could potentially cause minor or serious injury. Since we are working with moving parts, we will need to make sure that the rated velocities are low enough to prevent serious injury and that the power never exceeds the rate we calculated for our specifications. One of the ways to mitigate this would be to apply emergency power shutoff in cases of engineering related failures.
