Problem Statement
Design an interactive display to demonstrate one green technology.
![Page 3: Introduction to the Major Design Project (MDP) University of Western Ontario Faculty of Engineering Science Introduction to Engineering Design, ES 1050](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e865503460f94b8996e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Problem Statement
The problem is NOT to design or implement a green technology. It is to demonstrate an existing technology
![Page 4: Introduction to the Major Design Project (MDP) University of Western Ontario Faculty of Engineering Science Introduction to Engineering Design, ES 1050](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e865503460f94b8996e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Problem Statement
Some areas to consider:
Who is the audience (kids, students, professionals, general public?)
Where is the display (museum, science centre, mall?)
Which technology (energy, recycling, pollution?)
![Page 5: Introduction to the Major Design Project (MDP) University of Western Ontario Faculty of Engineering Science Introduction to Engineering Design, ES 1050](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e865503460f94b8996e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Steps in MDP
Problem definition Background research (SOTA) Specifications Detailed Design Prototyping
![Page 6: Introduction to the Major Design Project (MDP) University of Western Ontario Faculty of Engineering Science Introduction to Engineering Design, ES 1050](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e865503460f94b8996e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Problem definition
Things to consider: What area will we focus on? Who is the user? What does the user need? (What are we trying to teach?) Do not define the problem to limit the solution. Consider a multi-disciplinary approach.

Constraints
Things to consider: Size (50cm x 50cm x 50cm) Weight (10kg) AC Power (max 100W, CSA approval required) Safety (no hazardous chemicals or hazardous motions) Should survive its expected working life

Budget Constraints
The budget is limited to: No more than $100 per team member cash contribution ($400 per team) One hour UMS time Maximum $200 borrowed/scavenged/donated parts Computers do not count towards budget

Project organization
The MDP is organized as follows: Work in studio teams Work during studios and in team meeting times throughout semester Design reviews (for credit) in studio Deliverables and progress reports
![Page 10: Introduction to the Major Design Project (MDP) University of Western Ontario Faculty of Engineering Science Introduction to Engineering Design, ES 1050](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e865503460f94b8996e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Phase I Report
One report per team: Similar to CV submissions Problem definition Identification of objectives and constraints Concept generation (creativity and innovation) Concept selection (using structured techniques)
![Page 11: Introduction to the Major Design Project (MDP) University of Western Ontario Faculty of Engineering Science Introduction to Engineering Design, ES 1050](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e865503460f94b8996e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Background research (SOTA)
State of the Art (SOTA) investigates: Other solutions to similar problems Emerging technologies that may help
Make sure your SOTA contains analysis, not just data.
Individual submission

Design reviews
Graded by team: Occur three times throughout project Two informal discussions One formal presentation Allow instructors to monitor milestones
![Page 13: Introduction to the Major Design Project (MDP) University of Western Ontario Faculty of Engineering Science Introduction to Engineering Design, ES 1050](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56649e865503460f94b8996e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Final Report
One report per team: Should report on the whole project Includes design specifications and drawings Includes modeling and experimental data Should include a user’s manual
