07 Project - Design Documentation

This document provides an overview and sample contents for a design documentation packet for a student project called "Adrenaline Outpost". It includes samples of a cover page, table of contents, and requirements for the documentation. The required contents are detailed drawings, a bill of materials, engineering analysis, design concepts/decisions documentation, and a Gantt chart project management plan. Samples are provided for various sections, like an assembly drawing, parts inventory, and cost estimate template. The documentation aims to demonstrate the design process and ensure the design could be built from the provided information.

Requirements for Design Documentation


Overview
Assemble your design documentation using the sample cover page and sample table of contents
provided. (An e-copy of these templates is available.) The sample table of contents lists the documents to
include and their order. This set of documents constitutes your final team report on the design project.
Due date
Friday, 5 pm of 10th Week.
Detail drawings
Include part and assembly drawings for your design. Your drawings should definitely include
dimensions and tolerances, a bill of materials, and a cost estimate with rationale. Use a professional
package (AutoCad, Mechanical Desktop, Solid Edge, etc.) to produce your drawings. Someone else
should be able to build your design using your drawings.
Engineering analysis
Include the math model assignment for your design. Include additional analysis associated with
experiments (e.g., prototype testing and comparisons) you might have conducted in making design
decisions. Provide evidence of modeling results in accordance with instructions from your instructor. For
the static analysis conclusion, provide a summary that convinces us that your design will not fail in any
of the modes youve analyzed. Support your conclusions with key engineering parameters. For the
dynamic analysis conclusion, provide a summary using the evidence described in the earlier mathmodeling-evidence handout.
Design concepts and decisions
Include the decision matrix and justification discussion comparing your major competing design concepts
(use the format from PPS-5 Making Decisions) and the assigned morphological chart. Include neatly
hand-drawn sketches of competing concepts in all cases. Conclude: clearly identify which of the concepts
is your final design and explain which of the criteria were most important in the decision and how the
criterion affected the decision.
Gantt chart
Include a final Gantt Chart that details the activities and the actual hours that each team member spent on
the project. Be as specific as possible about the activities. For example an activity of construct project is
too general. You should now be able to divide the activity into components such as construct platform,
etc. (Use format from PPS-6 Project Planning, Gantt Chart.)

Project Deliverables
(This page is a copy of material provided previously.)
Platform
1.

3 feasible design concepts

and design requirements.

Harness
1.

Bill of Materials, Project Inventory, and Cost Estimate


While you may have been able to scrounge up the material for free for the construction of this project, if
you were to manufacture this device in quantity, each component that comprises your machine would
need to be specified, ordered, and paid for.
Part of your design requirements will be to put together a set of working drawings for your project. As
part of this drawing set, you should include an assembled view of the device which includes a complete
Bill of Material and Project Inventory and Cost List. (see the attached example assembly drawing and
list). All parts used in your design will be accounted for at fair market value.
If you were working at a company, you would also be expected to take this bill of materials and create an
inventory sheet in the appropriate Company Management application software which documents all
parts, material, suppliers, costs, and other information associated the manufacture of this device. A
management system allows the company to link accounting, inventory, suppliers, and engineering
drawings in an organized fashion. As an engineer, one of your responsibilities might be to locate, update,
and/or check the accuracy of parts within this management database.
For this project you will be expected to supply a cost of each part that is on your bill of materials. You are
expected to locate the cost of the item from one of several approved sources (see list). If you are unable to
locate a similar part from these sources, you will need to find an alternative supplier and then have this
supplier approved by your instructor.
You are to complete a Product Inventory and Cost List which includes among other things a description
and quantity of the part, the part available from the supplier, supplier ID number, cost of supply, and
cost for the portion of the part that you use. You will not be required to include costs of labor, shipping,
handling, or overhead for your project. Be aware that on a real project these would need to be
considered.
An example of this Project Inventory and Cost List is attached. Note that each part requires you to
identify the Vendor (or supplier) number for each part. You may search through the approved suppliers
on-line database to locate part numbers and cost of each item.
The list of approved suppliers and web sites include:
Lowes
