Individual Concept Generation (part of the selection process): Each individual must submit a single page pdf on Moodle with their individual concept selection. See details below on concept selection.

Group Concept Selection: Each group must bring their concept selection (printed out) to the review session and submit this online line. Please use your group number as the file name. It should be a maximum of 8 pages, and contain the following. All group members should contribute.

• 1 Page: Functional Diagram
• 4 x 1 Page of your four selected top selection that you take forwards to concept selection. (These don’t have to stem from thoose submitted individually, they can be combinations of, or new that come out of the ideation stage)
• 1 Page: Concept Selection chart
• 1 Page: Gantt Chart

Functional Diagram (1 page)

For your task, generate a functional diagram (1/2 page) which shows the inputs, systems and outputs and the different functions you choose to sub-divide it into.

To accompany the functional diagram provide a brief description of each of the functions required.

Concept Generation (1 concept per page)

Each concept generation should be on page. It should not be AI generated, or in CAD, but sketched/hand drawn/tablet drawn. The goal is to communicate the concept of the design - how it will mecahnically operate, sensing, and the geometry, materials. Key parts and actuation mechanisms should be indicated. A short paragraph detailing the operation should be given. This should provide enough information to describe how the concept works and addresses the functions identified in the functional diagram.

Concept Selection (1 Page)

For your four concepts perform design selection - see lecture notes. You choose key metrics to analyze the different designs and to enable selection.

Write a brief paragraph to detail which design you have chosen. Have you chosen the best one from the selection table, or another one, and if so, why?

Gannt Chart (1 Page)

A Gantt chart (maximum of 12 ‘tasks’) should be produced which summarizes the different activities, key dependencies and allocation of team for the remainder of the project.
