  2. Agenda • Sign in • Class Policy • Course Documentation • Course Syllabus/Administrative Details • Course Schedule • Teams/project adjustments • Proposal : Due • Questions • Meet with your team

  3. Class Policy (487/488) • Attendance Policy - function of professionalism and therefore your grade • Dress Code – please leave personal details to the imagination • Cell Phones – It is understood that we all occasionally forget to turn our cell off. If yours rings in this class, quietly gather your things and as inconspicuously as possible, leave the room.

  4. Class Policy (XXX 487/488) – Due Dates • We do not take late work (nonnegotiable) • If you put me in a bind, penalties are severe • COB is 5:00 p.m. • At class time means at the beginning of class – not 5 minutes after class has started • PDR/CDR – due 3 working days prior to oral presentation – copy to instructor, client, tech advisor, Ms. Rogers (on a CD)

  5. Class Policy • BE ON TIME Class will typically begin a couple of minutes late. If you arrive after class has started, please do NOT enter the room. Get details you missed from a teammate. Why…

  9. Importance of Meeting Documentation • Use Team Meeting Log • Document conversations/meetings with clients • Document meetings with technical advisors • Document meetings with management • Consider having client/tech. advisors/management initial form – showing consent of ideas discussed

  10. “Just in Time” Lecture Series • Merit Analysis • Design Applications • Design Analysis • Document Usability • Oral Presentations • Engineering Ethics • Future of Engineering

  11. Progress Reports – no surprises at the end of the semester • Individual – Your time to tell us what you’ve done, private correspondence between only you and the instructor • Submit via email (by COB) • Appropriately label the subject line • At the beginning of the email, remind me of you, your team, and project • Due • February 6 • March 6

  12. The Process • 1st semester – design and create a test plan • 2nd semester – build and test

  16. XXX 487 Grade Guidelines

  17. Feasibility and Merit Analysis • Must have one formal MA in PDR • All design decisions must be justified with analysis! But, the formal MA process learned in EGR 107 is not the only method to communicate decision making

  18. PDR/CDR Grade ConsiderationsAll Projects are NOT Created Equal Space shuttle Hovercraft Box Fancy digitized thermometer Increasing Complexity

  19. Grade Considerations • Engineering: • Complexity • Difficulty • Quality • Service • Content • What did your Engineering Education allow you to accomplish? What content delivered distinguishes your abilities from non engineers? Did you develop/design independent from faculty advice?

  20. If I could give just one piece of advice to facilitate your success… • Frequently meet with • Client • Technical Advisor(s) • Keep management informed • Communicate!

  21. XXX 487/488 Webpage • I’ll post this presentation and additional XXX 487/488 materials on my website http://faculty.mercer.edu/lackey_l/XXX487488Resources.htm
