Mentor comments for 5/15/14[edit source]

Page Description
  • Good description overall. Although you may want to start the first sentence off with:
    • "This capstone senior design project consisted of designing and constructing a system..."
    • "The team was tasked with designing and constructing a system..."
    • "The goal of project was to design and construct a system..."
    • "The Clean Room Roomba project required a team of mechanical and electrical engineering students to design and construct a system..."

(Otherwise the intro paragraph feels like it drops you into some complicated design prompt from Junkyard Wars or Myth Busters )


Clean Room Roomba
Project Statement
  • Take this subsection out to avoid repeating the same information.
  • Instead you could include a section on the Background of the project.
  • Answer the sorts of questions that the uneducated reader might want to know. What is a Roomba (Possibly include a link to their website or wikipedia page)? Why does your client wants this? Why hasn't Roomba already made one of these themselves? What makes the project difficult or otherwise interesting?


Project Description
Design Goals
  • Might want to mention that it must move autonomously though out it's environment for readers who aren't familiar with Roombas and have never watched a cat riding one on youtube.


Design Specifications
  • Include a level 3 subsection under Project Description titled Design Specifications
    • List out any of the basic requirements/specifications of the design as established by the client:
      • Which model(s) of Roomba should the system work with?
      • What should the cost of the final product be?
      • How much can the additional components weigh?


Testing
  • Good use of tables. Include more columns to convey the information more easily.
  • The columns could be titled:
    • Test (photo/description)
    • Goal of Experiment
    • Test Setup (basis setup of the experiment for anyone that would want to repeat it)
    • Results
    • Significance of results in the design (What did you learn? What did you need to change)


Final Concept
Main Ideas
  • Change Main Ideas to Key Aspects of Final Design to sound more professional.
  • Some of these would also fit under the Design Specifications subsection above if they were factors that influenced the design from the beginning.


Mystery Machiners
  • The bios in your team section should be written in 3rd person. No "I" or "My".


Appendices

It is absolutely required to have this section completed before graduation

  • Required:
    • Final report
    • Presentations
    • Design reviews
    • Expo Poster
    • All design documents necessary to make your work reproducible (i.e. SolidWorks files, Wiring Schematics, Math models)
