Term Design Project - Summary

The document outlines a term design project for an ME170 class. Students will form teams of 3-4 to design a new mechanical or electro-mechanical product with moving parts. The product must be an original design that provides an innovative solution to an existing problem. Students will be graded on deliverables including a product description, concept sketches, a concept selection process, CAD models, engineering drawings, and a materials and manufacturability analysis.

Term Design Project – Summary ME170

Project Description:
Form teams* of 3 to 4 students and design a new mechanical or electro-mechanical product. The
product should have moving parts. Your product will have several moving parts (i.e. a
mechanism). The product should be your own design and should have something new or
different about it; innovation will be a portion of the grade. Your product does not have to define
a new problem; it may provide a novel and/or economic solution to an existing problem, for
example: an electromechanical toothbrush designed for use by the disabled or motion-impaired,
a garden hose attachment that automatically washes your car while you sleep, a shoe cleaning
attachment for a vacuum cleaner, shoes that transform into a skate board...

Project Deliverables:
You will be graded on the following key deliverables:
1. Product Description
2. Concept Sketches – initial and finalized
3. Concept Selection Process (Pugh Matrix)
4. Product Design Specification (PDS)
5. CAD Models – Part and Assembly Models
6. Assembly Drawing with Cross-Sections
7. Exploded Assembly Drawing with Bill of Material (BOM)
8. Detailed Engineering Drawings fully dimensioned with tolerances
9. Tolerance Analysis
10. Materials and Manufacturability – aPriori Cost Estimate

* Option to form teams of your own or be assigned a team. We will be using CATME (see
www.catme.org) to organize and help manage our ME170 teams.
