2016 Course Project Theme: 20%+++

Greening Engineering by Design

 

Mechatronics to Innovation:  Mechanical + Control + Electronics + Communication + Software +++

Project Team: 3 Mechanical Engineering Students + ELG Student as a consultant

Group Meetings: Timed and Minutes Should be Taken.

Tools: Simulation Softwares; Rapid Prototyping (3D Printing); and/or Machining.

ELG2336 Requirements: Idea + Design

Deliverables: Report + Poster/Video + Simulation Demonstration by the end of the semester.

Proposal: Title, Group Members, Goals, Brief Design, Milestones and Time Line  by February 22, 2016.

 

You may adopt one or more of the following Green Engineering principles

Hazards Designers should ensure that all inputs and outputs are nonhazardous.
Treatment Designers should prevent waste rather than treating or cleaning up waste.
Consumption Designers should minimize energy and material consumption.
Efficiency Designers should always aim to maximize efficiency.
Complexity Designers should view easing complexity as an investment.
Durability Designers should targeted durability as a goal.
Material Designers should minimize material diversity.
Renewable Designers should consider renewable energy sources rather than depleting.
Commercial Designers should consider performance in a commercial domain.
