APSC 258Applications of Engineering Design

Course Outline

OBJECTIVES

This course covers the basic concepts of engineering design (needs assessment, problem formulation, abstraction and synthesis, analysis and implementation).

Major topics include:- Current practices in engineering design- Reverse engineering re-design- Failure analysis

O i d i- Optimum design- Project planning- Seminars invited lectures

The course consists of lectures (3 hours/week), laboratory and tutorial work (2 hour/week)

The major component of the course is a term design project

HOVERCRAFT PROJECT

The hovercraft project is an integrated design project for 2ndyear engineering students. The goal of the project is to construct a moving platform (hovercraft) which satisfies requirements in three major areas: structural, fluid mechanics and electrical control systemand electrical control system

OBJECTIVES

D i d t t i l tf bl tDesign and construct a moving platform capable to maneuver and carry the assigned weight

The moving platform should be capable to perform a set of g p p ptasks on an obstacle course during performance test/competition at the end of the term according to set rules.

Use only provided materials and parts for construction of theUse only provided materials and parts for construction of the moving platform

DELIVERABLES:

Written reports (The content of the reports will be coordinated with the apsc 258 instructor):- Written reports (The content of the reports will be coordinated with the apsc 258 instructor):

1st Preliminary Project Report (Feasibility study)Includes the problem formulation, literature research, project planning details and a feasibility report on what are the particular topics that the team will have to pay attention to or acquire additional knowledge about.

2nd Preliminary Project Report (Preliminary design)The preliminary design report includes various concepts and design alternatives to achieve the project goal using provided material It is a set of drawings free-hand sketches and preliminary calculationsgoal using provided material. It is a set of drawings, free-hand sketches and preliminary calculations used to analyze design alternatives. Ultimately, the best alternative should be explained in more detail.

Final project reportIncludes a formal analysis of the chosen design option (best alternative). Details of calculations, formal

f fdrawings of important components, assemblies and the bill of materials all need to be present.

- Oral presentation + poster

- Performance test and evaluation performed by professional engineers.Performance test and evaluation performed by professional engineers.

- Design book
