Report Content

• Introduction (present the product and the
  scenario you select, for example production
  volume and company characteristics)
• In individual sections discuss design
  considerations and justification of selected
  manufacturing process for each part
• Conclusion

5
Format of Individual Sections

• Component Name
• Component Description
• Design Considerations
• Material Selection
• Manufacturing Process Selection

6
Short List of Key Considerations to Discuss

• Economics/Costs
• Functions of components
• Requirements of Components (For example,
  propeller must be corrosion resistant)
• Materials
• Machines involved in selected manufacturing
  processes
• Other design features that influence the selected
  manufacturing process

7
Most Importantly-

• Justify in detail the manufacturing process
  selected
• If your resources provide you with the process
  that is used, site the source and explain in
  detail why it is the best selection
• Based on your knowledge in manufacturing and
  design select a manufacturing process and justify
  your selection in detail. (For some components
  there are several reasonable alternatives)

8
Report Specifications

• Done Individually
• 7-10 pages, single spaced
• Bound hard copy (Do not staple)
• Minimum 5 references (Try to use a variety of
  sources) to be included in a reference section
• Include a diagram/sketch of the product and its
  components
• Place Any Additional material in an appendix

9
Grading

• Introduction of the product, volume
  consideration, economics, etc etc (10)
• Design Considerations (15)
• Manufacturing Processes Selection,Discussion (60)
• Use of figures and References (5)
• Format, Neatness and Grammar/Spelling (10)
• Report must be done individually and bound
