15. Selection Matrix

16. Project Selection • Overall Selection Process • Our project selection process was conducted as follows • First stage was brainstorming in which team members proposed several project ideas. • Second stage was drawing the expected block diagrams for each proposal. • Third stage was evaluating each project and assigning them score according to the provided selection matrix, which lead to our chosen project. • Project was chosen for the following reason: • It is funded, meets the requirements of 1 block per person and it can be prototyped and demonstrated easily. • The major risks in the project: • Time constraints, possible design challenges • Reason for rejecting other proposals: • Other projects had no external funding and were not a good match for team skills • Project selection was achieved through unanimous decision

17. Proposed Product Remote Controlled Vehicle • Proposed project is a remote control car, with remote controlled lights and turning signals. • Car will be used during University open houses to promote the engineering department and also for kids entertainment. • This will be the first UWM owned remote controlled vehicle. • There is no identical project readily available in the market. • Project is part of the toy industry.
