Eco-ShippingAppendix C: Engineering Brief and Design ChallengeName ______________________________ Date ____________ Period _____

Engineering Brief:Eco-Bay is a company designated to supplying people with various products ranging from kitchenware, electronics, cell phones, DVDs, to clothes and others. The company will ship anywhere in the United States with a fee. Eco-Bay is not doing as well as the competitors such as Amazon and eBay. They took a costumer survey and the results showed that more people would buy from Eco-Shipping if their shipping costs were not outrageous. The company did some brainstorming and realized that if they could trim down the shipping cost, then they would get more business. The CEO of Eco-Shipping would like to see the company “Go Green” in the process.

Engineering Design Challenge:Eco-Bay is accepting proposals for a more eco-friendly shipment packaging for two items provided to you by the teacher. The packaging must be cost-effective and incorporate recycled materials. In order to complete the challenge, your team must begin by researching Montgomery County Accepted Recyclable Materials list and identify ways in which the amount of waste that ends up in the landfill can be lowered.Your team will follow the engineering design process to design a prototype, and a a Decision Analysis Matrices to help select a team design plan. Your team's prototype must be built using recyclable materials provided by team members, and by purchasing available materials with less than $5.00. Your final designs ability to effective "ship" two different products will be determined by subjecting it to a durability test, and by calculations of its density (dimensional weight). The final design will also be judged on its safety, percent of materials wasted, and its appearance. To conclude the challenge, your team will present your findings through a presentation to the Eco-Shipping CEO and representative in hopes of reducing the amount of waste in the world and winning the contract.

Eco-ShippingAppendix L: Density and Dimensional Weight Inquiry

Name ______________________________ Date ____________ Period _____

What is dimensional weight?If you're shipping an item that takes up a lot of space but isn't very heavy, a shipping company might charge you for the item's dimensional weight instead of its actual weight. Light packages that take up a lot of room in a shipper's trucks or airplanes actually cost the company money to ship if you're charged based only on their actual weight.

Shipping companies won't ship items that exceed a certain dimensional weight.To calculate this weight, UPS and the US Postal Service (USPS) use different formulas.

In order to complete the following task, go to: http://pages.ebay.com/help/pay/questions/shipping-dimensional-weight.html.

1. Research and explain how to calculate dimensional weight for UPS packages.

2. Research and explain how to calculate dimensional weight for USPS packages.

Scientists refer to an object’s dimensional weight as its density. For this lab, you will divide mass by volume to fin the density (dimensional weight) of you package design.

Eco-ShippingAppendix M: Decision Analysis Matrix Example

Decision Analysis Techniques in Engineering DesignMethod of Weighted Factors

This method of decision analysis can be used whenever a difficult choice must be made such as choosing a college or a certain product, etc.  Step-by-step instructions for using

this method as a tool for assessing design plan ideas are provided below.

Identifying the objectives and constraints for a particular topic can assist in make a final decision.  Safety should always be on the list, but some other items might include

aesthetics, cost, ease of maintenance, performance (ability to function as intended), recyclability, etc.

Instructions for using the matrix:1. Determine the relative importance of each of these objectives and constraints,

and rank them from 1 – 10 with 10 being the most important and 1 being of little importance (may be nice to have, but doesn’t really matter).  All constraints will be rated a 10.

2. As a team, discuss each conceptual design, and rank the designs from 1-n in its ability to meet the identified objectives or constraints.  For example, if you are analyzing three different designs, you will rank those designs from 1-3, with 3 being the best and 1 being the least.  In some cases, the designs may have equal performance and they might get the same rating, an example of this is shown below.

3. For each design, multiply the attributed (objective or constraint) weighting factor by the rank, and add up a total score.

4. The design that has the highest score may be considered the “best.”  Keep in mind though, that there is a significant amount of subjectivity to this approach, so if two designs have very close values, you may want to consider these designs a little more deeply.

An example is provided below for purchasing a car.  This was done through the eyes of a college student who is looking for a new car to transport her from home to school.  The ranking was done without any research, but certainly actual values could be obtained from reliable resources regarding relative safety, cost, gas mileage etc.  If this information is available, this research should be done, but this is just a quick example. The college student, with input from her parents, identified the following factors that would help her decide which car to purchase.  They decided that safety was, by far, the most important factor.

Since this was for a college student, cost-related issues including price of the car, cost of upkeep/maintenance and gas mileage were all very important as well.  The student didn’t really have more than a suitcase that she would need to carry, so cargo room was not that important, but would be nice to have in case she did have some larger things to bring home.  Also, since she only needed the car to last her through her 4 (or 5) years in college, the “life span” of the car was only marginally important.  The college student protested regarding aesthetics, after all, she wanted a cool ride, so aesthetics were pretty important to the student.  The student considered three cars available at a dealer close to her home.

(Decision Analysis Matrix Example: continued)

Results of this decision analysis suggest that car 1 is the best choice for the student. However, had these factors been weighted differently, the results might have changed.

Eco-ShippingAppendix N: Preparing Goals for a Decision Analysis Matrix

Name ______________________________ Date ____________ Period _____

1. As a team, review the list of design constraints from your engineering design challenge (requirements that must be met) for your prototype design to be successful.

List constraints below:

2. As a team, develop at least five design objectives (attributes that your team would like your prototype to have, based on your background research).

1. ____________________________________________

2. ____________________________________________

3. ____________________________________________

4. ____________________________________________

5. ____________________________________________

1. Determine the relative importance of each of the constraints and objectives in numbers 1 and 2 above, by assigning them a weight from 1-10, with 10 being the most important and 1 being of little importance (may be nice to have, but doesn’t really matter). Write the weight your team decides next to the constraint or objective. All constraints should be assigned a weight of 10 since they are required. Safety should always be included with a weight of 10!

2. After your team has assigned a weight to each objective, the Architectural Engineer should record them on your Decision Analysis Matrix Worksheet.
