    Technical Design Report, Poster and Oral Presentation Brief

    MKDS11/COM201S - Semester 1, 2014


    It is expected that engineers are able to assess problems and design workable
    engineering solutions to problems. These could include: the design and
    manufacture of a machine or part of a machine, or the modification of an existing
    machine or part thereof.
    TASK 1 Written report 20%
    In pairs, find an engineering problem in your immediate surroundings that you
    can design an engineering solution to. In order to complete this task you will have
    to do the following:
    1. Find a partner.
    2. Do an assessment of engineering problems (must be related to a machine
    or mechanism that you can design or modify to serve a particular, useful
    purpose to the community) that you find in your community, any other
    community, household, etc.
    3. Make a list of all the possible engineering problems and show this to your
    lecturer in order to make a decision on your best option.
    4. Do research on the option that you have decided upon and begin your
    design of the solution.
    5. Write a technical design report (in accordance with the required format) in
    which you present your solution (design).
    6. Your report should contain a computer generated drawing of your design
    and any other relevant illustrations (e.g. photographs, drawings). Place
    only what is relevant in the text and additional photographs in the
    appendices section). In your report you need to present the context of the
    problem and discuss your solution in detail, including: the actual design,
    materials selected, manufacturing processes, cost, maintenance, etc.
    7. Write a letter of transmittal to be attached on the front of the report.
    8. It would be to your advantage to build a model of your design.
    Draft due date:
    Final submission date:
    TASK 2 Poster -15%
    Based on your report, design an A1 sized poster. The poster should present the
    problem and solution in such a way that someone who looks at it will get the
    overall idea, without you physically being there to explain. The poster should be
    interesting, informative, clear, accurate (content should be relevant, well
    researched, sufficiently detailed and logical), professional in appearance (good
    use of white space, use of colour, suitable font sizes and clear, good quality
    illustrations) and well written (Language should be clear, easy to read and follow,
    no grammatical or spelling errors).
    Draft due date: (on A3)
    Due date:
    TASK 3 Oral Presentation 20%
    Based on your report, plan and prepare a 10 minute PowerPoint presentation.
    This presentation should not be a reading of your report. Instead, you should
    take relevant information from your report and present it in a clear, informative
    and interesting manner to your audience. Remember, there is a difference
    between written work and oral presentations. Your language and level of content
    should be appropriate to that of your audience.
    If you have built a model of your design, this would be a good time to
    demonstrate how it works.
