4. Engineering H193 - Team Project Spring Quarter 2005 Gateway Engineering Education Coalition P. 4 Technical Inspection I on Friday Purpose: To reconcile the Team Budget and parts as recorded in the on-line Company Store system with the parts purchased for or already on the Robot If Store records and the parts on the robot do not match, do the reconciliation by filling out the order form from the Store. Outside parts will be entered as a special part order. Credit for performance may not be given if all robot parts are not documented properly. Technical Inspection II will be Friday, May 27th.

5. Engineering H193 - Team Project Spring Quarter 2005 Gateway Engineering Education Coalition P. 5 Reading is Fundamental The latest version of the Contest rules (Version B) has been posted to the Design Project web page. Some minor changes have been made to make the description more clear in a few places where ambiguities existed or information was incorrect. The locations where changes have occurred are indicated by "change bars" on the left side of the affected pages. Read the new version and make sure that you understand the rules as they are currently written.

6. Engineering H193 - Team Project Spring Quarter 2005 Gateway Engineering Education Coalition P. 6 Considerations for Open Lab In Open Lab, the GTA and UTA primary job is safety. It is not to write your code or build your robot. Do not endanger yourself or your classmates by using tools in an unsafe manner. Use eye protection. Please dress properly – no sandals. Open lab will be crowded – share and be flexible.

7. Engineering H193 - Team Project Spring Quarter 2005 Gateway Engineering Education Coalition P. 7 Data Analysis and Presentation Data generally is available in tables –Tables are necessary for many types of data BUT –They can be Hard to Read and Understand –When used, they should include Appropriate Title, Column Headings, Units Use spreadsheet or word processor Read from right or bottom of page Graphs provide easier understanding of data Your team may want to use both

8. Engineering H193 - Team Project Spring Quarter 2005 Gateway Engineering Education Coalition P. 8 Data Analysis and Presentation Possible Graphs –x-y plot of a single data set, multiple data sets –Bar charts - horizontal, vertical - comparison

9. Engineering H193 - Team Project Spring Quarter 2005 Gateway Engineering Education Coalition P. 9 Data Analysis and Presentation –Pie charts - Good for parts of a whole –Budgets –Time spent –Project schedule done in graphical form

10. Engineering H193 - Team Project Spring Quarter 2005 Gateway Engineering Education Coalition P. 10 Data Analysis and Presentation Spreadsheet graphs are one place to start –Don’t trust them to give good graphs directly Format for Graphs –Appropriate Grid –Even numbers on Grid, Highest # greater than max data point, Lowest # less than min data point –Title and axis labels (labels need units) –Multiple plots need different symbols - legend –Use smooth curve when data points fit equation –Use points connected with straight lines when there is no equation that relates the independent and dependent variables

11. Engineering H193 - Team Project Spring Quarter 2005 Gateway Engineering Education Coalition P. 11 Example Of Formatted Graph

12. Engineering H193 - Team Project Spring Quarter 2005 Gateway Engineering Education Coalition P. 12 Data Analysis and Presentation Possible Graphs and Charts used in Final Report and Oral Report –Pie chart to show cost breakdown –Pie chart to show man-hours breakdown –x-y chart to show motor performance curve and where robot operates –x-y chart to show power/torque/forces required to pick and pick up –x-y chart to show track testing vs. project time –Design schedule Find examples in your Engineering Graphics book.
