Meeting PurposeUpdate customer on current progress of the
project
Looking for feedback from all stakeholders
Want to make sure team and customer are on the same page with needs and requirements
2/12/14
Problem Background• Students in the Mechanical Engineering
department currently take a sequence of experimental courses, one of which is MECE – 301 Engineering Applications Lab.
• GOAL: a common lecture period for all sections, and then a weekly, simpler experiments that students will also run independently.
Problem Statement and Deliverables
• The purpose of this senior design project is to design and produce a number of laboratory modules that will eventually be used in the engineering course MECE – 301 Engineering Applications Lab
• Three to four modules used to provide a set of advanced investigative scenarios that will be simulated by theoretical and/or computational methods.
Stakeholders
RIT Professors & Faculty
MSD Team
RIT EngineeringStudents
Use Scenarios• In the lab students will analyze a module
which inspire an experiment which will include a theoretical, and experimental analysis of the module.
• After completing this experiment, the students should have a firmer grasp on basic engineering principles and processes.
Prioritized List of Needs• Requests 3 modules at minimum; 4 or 5 are preferred
• Modules may be of different technical challenge and complexity
• All modules must emphasize practical engineering experiences.
• Each module should be interesting to the students
• Modules should bridge applications areas, such as electromechanical or electrochemical
• All modules should use commercially-off-the-shelf equipment to enable maintenance and sustainability of module use over many semesters of student enjoyment
• At least one module should have analysis challenges that are at or beyond student learning from core coursework
Prioritized List of Needs Continued• All modules should be able to:
• Fully configured, utilized, and returned by student engineers
• Stand alone; contain everything they need without borrowing from other sources
• Have a high level of flexibility and expansion allowing for many engineering opportunities
• Be robust and safe
Engineering Requirements• To Be Determined when Modules are Chosen• Each Module will have own Engineering Requirements
