This exam is due by the deadline posted on blackboard.  This is an individual submission (vs team work). Successful completion of this exam gives you a chance to score credit for the following course competencies.  In order to be evaluated for course credit, a completed technical document in the format specified must be submitted on blackboard before the due date indicated.

Benchmarking:  Benchmark existing solutions that meet the customer’s need. Be specific (e.g., give us data, specs, on what’s already there).

Need Identification:  Conduct an effective customer interview during which you *gain new information / insights* about the customer’s needs and use that information to develop an appropriate Point of View statement (user + need + insight)

Professionalism: Students who earn this competency will do all of the following:

• attempt both exams
• attempt to demonstrate mastery of each of the course competencies at least once through the on-time submission of a competency test
• actively participate in all design projects (determined by team feedback)
• follow appropriate safety practices

Requirements Development:  Accurately translate design needs into metrics and specifications

• figures/tables are captioned and explicitly referred to in the text

——————————————————————————————————————————————

The submission must be a written document of the design you would individually propose towards project 1. The format and content of the documentation is described in detail below.  This should be a cohesive, narrative, professional document. Going over the slides from class on Written Communication before starting this assignment will help you fulfill the grading rubric’s requirements.

Format:

• Title Page: Project name, Team number/name, names of all team members who participated
• Document should be written as a formal technical document with appropriately formatted section headings (i.e. bold and/or underline).
• Sections to include: Introduction, Need Identification, benchmarking, metrics and house of quality, references

Content:

• Introduction
  • Introduce the project to someone who is not from EGR 102 and the end result that you plan to obtain.
• Need Identification

• Talk about the project constraints and budget. Include size specifications/rules and the formula used to calculate the score.
• Create a Point of View statement (it must contain a description of your user, a description of their need and a description of an insight, user+need+insight) based on the project requirements/constraints.

• Benchmarking
  • A description of at least three devices/products that are available on the market/for reference on the internet in tabular form as shown in Table 1.

Table 1: Benchmarking table

For each of the devices, give the following in the text that talks about the table:

• Discuss your reasoning of why each of these devices were researched by you while designing for project 1.
• For at least one device, include a picture and identify a location where it has been installed/used. Remember that the picture is a figure and must have a figure number and caption and must be referred to in the text using the figure number.
• Remember to include the source(s) of your information as references
• In text referring to the table you created using its table number, identify atleast one bug with each of these devices.

• Metrics and House of Quality
  • A completed Requirements Worksheet in the form of table 2. In table 2, you will provide a description of at least three requirements derived from the POV statement, including at least one functional and one physical requirement. Each requirement will occupy one row of the Requirements Worksheet
  • In the text referring to the requirements worksheet using its table number, write about how each of the requirements in the requirements worksheet addresses an important issue derived from the POV statement.
  • A completed Simplified House of Quality matrix using the template shown in Table 3. Your completed House of Quality should include your requirements, metrics, the completed user importance column, and the completed relationships table. Include this matrix in your competency assignment submission. Refer to the slides on how to complete the HoQ. Specifically, user importance should be completed with a 1-5 scale with 5 being the most important and 1 being the least important. The user importance and metric relationship should be represented by one of the three numbers three numbers: 1(low), 3 (med) and 9 (high) if there is a relationship or a left empty if there is no relationship

Table 2: Requirements Worksheet

Table 3: House of Quality Matrix

• In the text referring to the table that shows the House of Quality (using its table number) give a description of whether the relationships table and metric importance row show that all requirements are adequately represented by metrics and that all metrics measure important aspects of the requirements. Comment how you might change your metrics to improve any weaknesses revealed by this table.

• References:
  • Include all references used (references should also be cited in the text of the report).
  • Use an appropriate citation format (i.e. IEEE is preferred but not mandatory – see http://libguides.asu.edu/ for helpful information under ‘engineering-basic’ or your specific discipline).

Exam Project 1 Proposal – Grading Rubric

The exam will be graded for the following competencies

Professionalism:

The exam needs to be attempted for demonstrating the professionalism competency

‘Attempted’ means an effort should be shown to complete all sections of the exam (vs. submitting an empty or half-finished document)

Written Communication:

The exam needs to have all of the attributes listed below in order to have successfully demonstrated the Written Communication competency.

All of the following criteria must be met to demonstrate the competency:

• The submission was typed and contains all the sections Introduction, need identification, benchmarking, metrics and house of quality, references _____
• The submission contains at least one figure and a table _____
• all figures have a meaningful caption (example, “Figure 1: relationship between time and distance fallen”)________
• the figure is described AND referred to in the text (i.e., text is given that explicitly describes in words what is being shown in the figure and refers to it by Figure number) ______
• all tables have a caption and are referred to in the text (e.g., “Table 1 shows the list of materials that will be used to …”)______
• references must be in the appropriate IEEE format in the text [1],[2] _________
• references must be listed at the end of the document in the appropriate IEEE format (given in class slides) ______

Benchmarking:

The exam needs to have all of the attributes listed below in order to have successfully demonstrated the Benchmarking competency:

• Three devices/products are identified, and the relevant parameters are listed in a table as shown_____

For each of the devices,

• a reasoning of why each of these devices were researched while designing for project 1 was provided _____
• for at least one device, a picture was included _______
• for atleast one device a location was identified where it has been installed/used _____
• References were included for sources of external content _______
• atleast one bug with each of these devices was identified _______

Requirements Development:

• a completed requirements worksheet was included ______
• in the requirements worksheet, at least three requirements for the project were identified. (These are NOT the same as concerns that were derived from the Point of View statements. For example, a concern might be turbine noise.  A requirement then becomes turbines will not be located too close to home.) ______
• in the requirements table, at least identify an associated metric that is *measurable* (e.g., the decibel level in a residential area.). The actual value doesn’t have to be provided, but rather a way to measure the metric should be identified (e.g, weight, length, voltage etc.,)  ______
• In the text referring to the requirements worksheet each of the requirements in the requirements worksheet addresses an important issue derived from the POV statement.
• a completed simplified house of quality matrix (on blackboard under assignments) was submitted. “Completed” implies that the requirements, metrics, user importance column, and relationship table are all filled out and in the correct location _______
• user importance was filled correctly (1-5 scale with 5 being the most important and 1 being the least important) ______
