ASSESSMENT 1: An open-end sustainable problem

Aims

− Begin engagement with engineering design and practical work.

− Appreciate and understand and design processes within the context of sustainable
development.
− Be able to think critically in the context of open-ended problems and solutions in
engineering using creativity and innovation tools.
− Be able to research information from a range of sources and reference accurately,
and to communicate effectively using written technical English, hand drawing and
CAD, and other IT tools.

Description
The assessment is individual work; however, there will be groups’ discussions during
assessment preparation to practice participation at a professional team meeting.
You are required to design in the given site of ASU campus, car shades with sustainable
factors and principles applied.
The assessment has the 3 following tasks:
1- Design of an open-end sustainable problem from the students’ discipline
(A2 design sheet):
A2 design sheet must include explanation of the design problem. The drawings include
the design details with a proper scale, and the environmental factors’ analysis applied
in the design process. (elevation, section, plan, etc.) make sun analysis.
2- Analysis of the sustainable factors applied in the design process phases
(report including sketches).
The report must include design objectives, design constraints, functions, specifications,
and alternatives.
3- Summary of the design process and sustainable factors applied.
(ppt presentation)
The presentation must include learned lessons of the design process as part of a
continuing personal development

Submission Requirements
• Design Sheet
To present analysis, sketches, and drawings of the sustainable design: A2 sheet
• Report
To present analysis, sketches, and drawings: text of max 1000 +/- 10%
• Presentation
To present summary of learned lessons of the design process: ppt file of max 5 slides.

Turnitin: resubmissions allowed, separate “Late” inbox
Coursework is to be submitted to Turnitin. You will find a link to Turnitin from the
Assessments area in Moodle.
You will need to ensure that your assessment is uploaded as a single document, and in the
correct format (e.g. a Word document or PDF – the acceptable file formats are displayed
on the screen when you come to submit via Turnitin).
When submitting, please enter your student ID number in the “submission title” box. The
document itself should contain your student ID number in a header or footer; your name
should not be visible in the work.
Turnitin generates an Originality Report, and you are encouraged to make use of this
facility as a support tool to help you ensure the source material in your assignment is
correctly referenced before final submission. You will be able to submit revised drafts of
your work until the specified due date.
Only the final version of your coursework will be marked by your tutor. On the due date
and time, no further submissions or changes are possible.
