Dear all my students...welcome to Engineering Drawing and CAD Post..
From time to time I will update the Post to include your tutorial, assignments and project Details..
group project : Sustainability Design
Product Development is a process in making decision to develop a product in stages which the decision will reflect directly on the manufacturing processes. This includes material selection and process selections.
If the current design is unsustainable, improvement can be done so that the embrace sustainability. As a designer and manufacturer, we should realize that 93% of product raw materials are not used in the final product, 80% of products are dumped after a single use and 99% of materials used are redundant in the first 6 weeks(“The Case of Sustainable Manufacturer”- University Technology Malaysia ). This shows that the material used for a product are not fully utilized and imagine all the resources and energy wasted to produce a product. This issue can be improved by perform an assessment to determine the interaction between a product and the environmental aspects throughout the product life cycle.
DISCUSS AMONG your GROUP MEMBERS ON THE SUSTAINABLE PROJECT that you want to work on. you will be divided into 4 members per group. you may select below project title or develop your own project title with my approval...
1.Wind Generator Provides Power
2.Aluminium Can Crusher
3.Human Powered Drilling Machine
4.Water Saving Drain Valve
5.Environmental Bicycle
Project Objective
1. Work in a group to design and develop sketching and Engineering Drawing of the parts & product.
2. By using 1:1 Scale, students need to developed a function prototype of the proposed product.
3. You may use what ever recycle materials that suits its functions.
4. At the end of the project assessment, you are require to present your product in front of Panels Lecturers.
5. Tips during presentation: Make sure the product function as it suppose to be guys.......
Good Luck, and have an interesting product design experience....
See you in class next week......
we do not know what to comment here.
ReplyDeletecan we do our own project if we do not have the idea what to do with your given project?
ReplyDeleteTo all my respected students, as mention in your group title project above is that "you may select the provided title OR develop your own Sustainability Project Title."
ReplyDeleteThe Project Details can be discussed during our meetings in classes..I advice that you try start searching and readings on "Sustainable Issues" and "Sustainable Product Design"..
Tq for your comments..
