The design specification and project plan in place from task 1, it is now time for the practical aspects of the design project to begin: Engineering design Assignment, UOB, UK

Task 2
Activity:
With the design specification and project plan in place from task 1, it is now time for the practical aspects of the design project to begin. You should now develop the design to completion and produce a detailed design report and presentation.

To achieve the above you need to produce a ‘Design Report’ it is suggested that you base your report on the following structure addressing the topics as detailed in sections 1.0 to 7.0.

Title page, this should feature the project title, your name and assignment title – perhaps a nice graphic, if you like (no page number on this sheet).

Abstract, this is a self-contained summary of the complete report, this should be less than half a page (page number i).

Acknowledgements, this is where you acknowledge support from colleagues, friends, other organisations etc (page number ii).

Contents table, this lists each section in the document and the page number where that section begins (page number iii).

1.0 Introduction – The introduction states the purpose and goals of your report. A few short paragraphs will suffice here (this is always section 1, and numbered page 1).

2.0 Specification – This could be an overview of the specification from task 1, you can also refer to the design specification in task 1.

3.0 Literature Review – In this section you need to demonstrate that you have undertaken researched in the subject area, this could include underpinning theory, books, journals, trade publications, component manufactures web sites, similar work by others etc. The literature review should enable you to establish three possible design solutions, which are to be presented in section 4.0.

4.0 Design Options and Decision Matrix – This should be a shortlist and brief description of three potential design options that you have developed, with a final, justified selection of the design you wish to put forward (use a Pugh engineering decision matrix).

5.0 Detail design,
Your detailed design needs to demonstrate:
• Any modeling (physical tests, calculations, software simulations etc) that you have done in developing your design.
• Verification of decisions that you made such as material selection, component selection etc.
• How the design links back to the design specification, comparing the specification and the design.
• That you have considered how the component/system can be manufactured or installed.
• How the design complies with industry standards, and health and safety policies.
• The risks to the completion of the design phase, this can be evaluated using a ‘Cause and Effect Diagram’ which should be inserted into Appendix A.
