Sketch Model Presentation - Due in Lab Week  7

Overview

You will present to your lab section a 12 minute talk detailing your two projects. You will have use of the projector if you desire. There will be 3 additional minutes for questions. The 12 minutes is a hard deadline, so please practice your talk beforehand over and over again. Only one or two people should give the presentation. The other students can help answer questions during the Q/A session. 

Goals
  1. Prove to me that your product will work "on paper."  
  2. Demonstrate what you learned from your sketch model.  A sketch model is a simple physical model made of low cost, easy to work materials. It is the three dimensional analog to a sketch. Its purpose is to: 
  • learn about the product,
  • articulate an idea,
  • understand scale,
  • gain insight into user interaction issues, and/or
  • explore operational issues.
It is not a simple, physical, model made of low cost, easy to work materials that has no purpose. If you do not gain any insight about how your product will operate, look, or feel, then you should go back to the drawing board and improve your model. 

Grading

You will be graded on the following: 
  • Depth and accuracy of technical analysis to prove that the product will work
  • Construction quality/sketch model aesthetics in terms of the sketch model’s ability to convey the idea of the product,
  • Presentation quality:
    • uniqueness – make the presentation interesting!
    • professionalism, and
    • clarity (practice and practice again until you know it exactly).
At this time you should also have the following complete as a minimum in your design notebooks: peer evaluations, FRSARC Chart, lots of crazy ideas, background market data, feasibility estimations (power, torque/force, velocities, and ergonomics). 
  • 9.0 = A+ Absolutely blows me away. Great models, great presentation. fun, interesting, I will use the models as examples next year
  • 8.0 = A, 2 excellent models. Exceed all of the requirements above.
  • 7.0 = A-,
  • 6.0 = B, 2 good models, but not up to the level of an A
  • 5.0 = B-,
  • 4.0 = C, 1 poorly made model. Presentation lacking clarity.
  • 3.0 = C-,
  • 2.0 = D, 2 poorly made sketch models. Sketch Models do not convey information clearly. Presentation lacks depth and is confusing.
  • 1.0 = D-,
  • 0.0 = F, No show.
