  1. Senior Design Project Webpage Basic Information

  2. Create your webpage: • MS Word (not PowerPoint) • Macromedia Dreamweaver • MS Frontpage • HTML editor

  3. Requirements • Inform the Course Coordinator which team member will be serving as webmaster • Email Deb Craig the login of the Team’s webmaster (whoever is hosting the page) so she can add the link to the ME webpage. • Get Client approval for posting pictures and any information that could be considered proprietary or sensitive

  4. Use the Right Structure • As you create it, set it up the same way it needs to be on the server: home page = SDindex.html files location folder = MESD In other words, name your project home page ‘SDindex.html’ and store any files associated with it in a folder called ‘MESD’

  5. Website Contents • Be Professional!!! - You are selling your expertise as consulting engineers to potential customers (employers) • Link to sponsor’s website • Project Description • Project Goals • Team member info • Names, Picture of team, webmaster contact info • Can include resumes or brief bio’s • As you progress: • Status reports, testing results, construction updates, etc.

  6. Stylistic Tips • Avoid annoying blinking and flashing things, frames, and garish colors • Be conservative in your design - “safe” colors, like black and white or BU color scheme • Legible font, other than Times • Make it expandable so you can add more info later • Pictures are good • Videos can also be added (get advisor approval)

  7. Use the transfer software • If you don’t have SSH, you can download it from http://www.bradley.edu/software/ • http://www.bradley.edu/software/win9x/ssh.htm • You can use the lab computers to create and transfer your webpage.

  8. For those who don’t know how to use SSH:

  9. Test it! http://www.hilltop.bradley.edu/~login*/SDindex.html * Replace ‘login’ with your login name ****Very Important**** Then let Deb Craig know the Team number and your login name so she can link your page from the ME website.

  10. Basic Webpage setup info http://helpdesk.bradley.edu/howto/misc/webpage.pdf Senior Design Webpage address = http://www.hilltop.bradley.edu/~login/SDindex.html SD webpage files = …login/public_html/MESD Set permissions for MESD folder the same as for public_html

  11. In other words, your public_html directory should have a structure similar to: ‘your login’ public_html SDindex.html MESD

  12. If you have any questions about setting this up, please see your advisor or Deb Craig. ****Be aware that the files associated with your Project website will be copied off to the Departmental Server at the end of your Project.*****

  13. ME 410/411 File Server • Space has been set up on the Department file server for file storage associated with coursework for ME410/411 Senior Design Projects. • Map a network drive by right-clicking on the ‘My Computer’ icon on the desktop and choosing ‘Map a network drive’. • Assign a drive letter such as ‘P’ (for projects).

  14. ME 410/411 File Server • Type in the route to the folder, in this case it will always be \\engine\teamXX with XX being your two digit team number with Teams 1-9 being 01-09. • Make sure the ‘Reconnect on logon’ is unchecked. • Click ‘Finish’. • To post your webpage files to the server for storage, follow the same procedure as above, only change the folder route to be \\engine\teamXXw.
