  1. Mall of America (MOA)Request for Proposals • The Mall of America in Minneapolis, MN has designated an area of mall space to construct an indoor mini-golf course. • Mall of America executives have placed a call for design concepts from the leading design firms across the United States. • Your design team will be one of several teams who will pitch a design concept to MOA execs. • The winning concept will receive the contract to design and build a state of the art mini-golf course in the MOA.

  2. Learning Objectives • Be able to work in an environment that includes remote team members. • Be able to use the Engineering Design Cycle to develop a high quality proposal for a client. • Be able to use Inventor 2015 to create part files and working drawings supporting your proposal. • Be able to present your proposal

  3. Design Statement: • Competing design teams will submit a concept design containing 5 mini-golf holes illustrating the team’s overall idea for a mini-golf theme that will attract mall patrons.

  4. Constraints: • All holes within a group/zone must have a consistent theme. • The concept design cannot exceed 25’ x 20’. Create your hole on a 25’ by 20’ by 1’ base. You will work in pairs on each hole. Most will be working with a partner from Pendleton HS. • Holes can be elevated up to 5’, but appropriate safety precautions must be taken. • All components of the hole must be less than 5’ tall. • Pathways as needed to move from hole to hole must be a minimum of 36” wide. • Holes can have some moving or animated parts. (optional) • All holes will have a standard tee off pad and scoring podium (these parts will provided by the project manager). • All 3D modeling should be done to FULL SCALE. Be mindful of scale and units!

  5. Team Role: Design Engineer (DE): • Each design engineer pairs will provide: • Preliminary brainstorm sketches describing the layout of the 5 hole course/zone. This preliminary sketch should include: • the pattern of play • where the players will enter and exit each area • 3D model assembly of a themed hole including: • moving or animated parts • tee-off pad and scoring podium (provided by the PM). • walking paths providing access to the hole (must be a minimum of 36” wide)

  6. Team Role: Project Manager (PM): • The project manager is responsible for: • assigning teams of 2 (from different sites if possible) • provide a team layout diagram, assigning teams space • the design of a scoring podium • the design of a tee off pad • the design of 150 sq. foot equipment/retail office • one final team layout as an assembly drawing showing: • each hole designed by the team • a pattern of play outlining where players will enter and exit each area • assigning a team member(s) to put together the final presentation

  7. Suggestions for New Themes and Examples Sports • Logos and teams • Olympic Sports • Professional Sports • Sports equipment • Arenas and fields • Fans • Games and Toys • Board games (Monopoly, Candyland, etc.) • Legos, Blocks or building sets • Card games • Video games (Super-Mario etc.) • Checkers, chess • Holidays and Celebrations • 4th of July • Halloween • Thanksgiving • St. Patrick’s Day • New Year’s Eve • Birthdays • Christmas • Hannukah

  8. Selling Your Proposal • Upon completion of your proposal your team will present it to the class. • The class will vote on which proposal to send on to Mall of America.

  9. What is Turned in by Individuals:A PowerPoint with the following • Team members (5/23) • Project Name (5/23) • Team Norm Summary (5/25) • Specifications and Constraints(5/25) • Concepts (5/23-5/27) • Concept Sketches: At least three solutions per member • Develop a Solution (5/27) • Decision Matrix used to select the design direction (All team members will have the same matrix) • Construct and Test a Prototype (6/1-6/3) • Inventor Part Files • Inventor Dimensioned Drawing files • Delegate who will do what on your team. • Create a CAD model and complete set of working drawings for your solutions. • Put screen captures in the PowerPoint. • Assembly (6/3) (Animation EC) • Show how all of the parts fit together and interchangeability of enhancements as appropriate. • Screen capture

  10. What will be turned in by the team • Create a Trifold Brochure • Team PowerPoint Presentation marketing your solution • Team Presentation (6/8) (This will be the final for Seniors)

  11. How can you work in teams? • Developing team norms.

  12. Developing Team Norms “The way our team will do things.”

  13. Learning Objectives • To understand and be able to develop team norms for… • Interaction with teammates • File structure and organization • Communication how and when • Today you will create proposals to share with the rest of your team.

  14. Team Norms • Team norms are a set of rules or guidelines that a team establishes to shape the interaction of team members with each other and with employees who are external to the team.  • What is a worst case scenario if team norms are not established?

  15. Stagnant Pond or Flowing River • Ken Blanchard, of One Minute Manager fame, said that a river without banks is a pond. Likewise, a team without relationship norms leaves itself open to potential interpersonal problems

  16. Brainstorm • With your teammates come up with three team norms that you think will help your team succeed. (Give some time to develop ideas) • Share one of your team norms with the class.

  17. Sample Norms for Interacting with your teamHere are some of the norms that project teams have found helpful: • Listen to what others are saying • Strive to understand each other's perspectives, rather than jumping to conclusions • Try to resolve problems without blaming • Send an acknowledgement in response to important email messages • Respect "do not disturb" signs on people's cubicles • When you've made a commitment you can't keep, let the other party know as soon as possible • If you don't understand something, ask for clarification • If you see a problem that others haven't noticed, bring it to someone's attention • Treat clients' issues and concerns as valid even if you don't agree with them • If you think team members have a conflicting understanding of a project issue, bring it to their attention • Focus on the positive: what's working well, not on what's going wrong

  18. Modifying your Proposal • Using the information you have learned from other teams and from the example put together three + proposals for team norms regarding interaction with team mates. • Include these in your PowerPoint

  19. Team Norms: Organizing Files • File names • Folders • Revisions • …. • Why would setting standards for these be important?

  20. File Name Recommendations The important take-away points from this article are: 1. The file-naming convention that your business uses needs to be understood by everyone in the organization.2. File-naming conventions should help people find information quickly by scanning names or by looking for dates or other signifiers in the name.3. Files that are "naturally-ordered" are easier to scan and sort. 4. Be consistent with naming conventions (Jill Duffy PC Mag)

  21. Team Norms: Organizing Files • FIRST, A NOTE ON NAMING… • As different software uses different processes for naming and organizing, it’s best to avoid using things like special characters, symbols, and spaces in your naming. • Things to avoid include stuff like: !,@,#,$,%,&,*,(,),/,” and ?Here are a couple of examples of good and not so good names to use:BAD: 2013 Jill+BrianGOOD: 2013_JillBrian • BAD: Jill Brian HighlightsGOOD: JillBrianHighlights • BAD: Jills & Brian’s First ClassGOOD: JillBrianFirstClass

  22. Things to consider including in your file structure • A file name that establishes… • Who created the file • Description of the part • Date created • Which modification • Consider a folder structure that will also help organizing information. • Types of files you will be working with: Part files, Drawing files, Individual and Group Powerpoints, Brochure, … • How will/can you use folders to keep your project organized?

  23. With your group… • Discuss file/folder structure norms for your group. • Come up with 1-3 proposals for your team • Share one ideas with the class.

  24. Team Norms: Communication • With your team come up with suggestions for… • How often to communicate with your virtual team. • What method you will propose using for communicating. (email, shared drive, …) • How will you handle if a team member is not contributing. • As a team, create a proposal for your Communication Team Norm

  25. What is Turned in by Individuals:A PowerPoint with the following • Team members/Schools (Monday5/23) • Project Name (Monday 5/23) • Team Norm Summary (Wednesday 5/25) • Interaction: • File/Folder Naming Standards • Define the problem (Wednesday 5/25) • Use the design brief to generate Constraints and Specifications • Constraints: What it can’t do/be (Team picks top 4-5) • Specifications: What it can do/be (Team picks top 4-5) • Generate Concepts (5/23 – 5/27) • At least three sketches/member on Isometric Paper for proposals • Take pictures of your proposals in include in PowerPoint and share with partners • Develop a Solution (Tuesday 5/27) • Use a decision matrix to evaluate the design proposals based on your Specifications and Constraints • Include Decision Matrix in PowerPoint • Create Part files in Inventor • Construct and Test a Prototype (6/1 - 6/3) • Delegate who will do what on your team. Look at extensions, and enhancements that go beyond the minimum requirements • Create a CAD model and complete set of working drawings for your solutions • Put Screen Captures into the PowerPoint • Assembly (6/3) (Animation Extra Credit ) • Showing how all of the parts fit together and interchangeability of enhancements as appropriate • Screen Capture of Assembly included in the PowerPoint • Create a Team PowerPoint Presentation and tri-fold brochure (optional) marketing your solution (Monday 6/6) • Prepare your presentation to the Shark Tank • Class Presentations (6/8)

  26. To do Today • Email the rest of your virtual Team • Introduce yourself • Start communication on • Team Norms • Interactions • File Naming Structure • Communication (When, how, ) • Specifications (Things the product can do) • Constraints (Limits, things you can’t do) • Start Developing Concepts • Isometric Graph Paper ( 3 per Student)
