1. ".... good news...we were actually able to deploy the Seeker on a real life mission we had on Tuesday. This mission was a search warrant for armed robbery suspects, and presented a perfect opportunity for the deployment of the Seeker. The way the apartment was set up, the front door, was facing away from us in an alcove, so we could not see the subjects as they exited. I ran the Seeker up to the area of the front door, this meant negotiating a couple of curbs and a concrete step in front of the apartment. I turned the seeker to face the open front door and was able to provide real time information on what was happening. Once all of the subjects had exited the apartment, I drove the Seeker into the apartment and was able to clear all of the rooms prior to our entry. This is exactly what we wanted this product to do. Our team management were extremely impressed with the ability of the bot...so was I !..." Detective James Aguilar Marion County Meth Strike Force (Project sponsor in 2008-09) “ … I absolutely enjoyed working with the team--they were the most respectful professional bunch of guys I have ever worked with. And hard working! No doubt they worked their tails off for hours on end...and it was so exciting for us to see all that they had accomplished. Plus they always kept us informed of the progress which was really great and much appreciated. I can't recommend your team highly enough. They were absolutely outstanding to work with.” … “ Let me know if it would be okay to work with you again next year--we're certainly up for it if you are. :) “ Cyndi Groth Oregon Resident (Project Sponsor in 2009-10)

11. Open minds. Open doors. TM School of Mechanical, Industrial, & Manufacturing Engineering Course Overview The Design Process Successful completion of design projects follow a well-established procedure. Details vary, but the fundamental process is as follows: 1. Identify customer needs. 2. Perform background research / benchmarking. 3. Generate project goals and performance specs. 4. Generate a list of potential solutions. 5. Analyze these solutions and select the most viable. 6. Complete a detailed design. 7. Implement and test the design. To help you succeed and to allow better evaluation of your work, we use this procedure as the MIME Capstone Design template. Your course grades for fall and winter are based on 1. How well the design process is followed 2. How well the design meets requirements

32. Open minds. Open doors. TM School of Mechanical, Industrial, & Manufacturing Engineering Petition Process Criteria for Decision Refuse Scope of project would become inappropriate Original intent of project fundamentally changed Inappropriate effect (e.g. attempt to circumvent testing failure)

33. Open minds. Open doors. TM School of Mechanical, Industrial, & Manufacturing Engineering Petition Process Examples Project is to construct a wheeled, human-propelled, vehicle for close study of plants in remote areas. Project requirement is that the vehicle can be disassembled and transported by one person over long distances and rough terrain. In week 5 of winter term, team asks that this requirement be dropped because it is "unrealistic". Approve & waive penalty? Approve & impose penalty? Refuse?

34. Open minds. Open doors. TM School of Mechanical, Industrial, & Manufacturing Engineering Petition Process Examples Project requires data to be sampled at 100,000 Hz. Project Sponsor assures team that a device (well beyond project budget) is available to do this. Students list 100,000 Hz sampling rate as ER. In mid-winter term sponsor says he made an error and device only samples at 25,000 Hz. Students request change in ER. Approve & waive penalty? Approve & impose penalty? Refuse?

35. Open minds. Open doors. TM School of Mechanical, Industrial, & Manufacturing Engineering Petition Process Examples Project requires specialized machining done at a machine shop recommended by sponsor. Students contact machine shop in early December and schedule machining for 1 week before E1. All is well until 2 weeks before E1, when machine shop delays machining until after scheduled E1. Students request 1 week extension to E1 due date. Approve & waive penalty? Approve & impose penalty? Refuse?

36. Open minds. Open doors. TM School of Mechanical, Industrial, & Manufacturing Engineering Petition Process Examples Students require approval of the sponsor board to test their design. In week 4 of winter term, they request an extension to the E1 due date. They are unable to obtain board approval in time. They claim this is because communication with the board is impossible since the board will not meet again until after the current due date. They only meet once a month. Approve & waive penalty? Approve & impose penalty? Refuse?

37. Open minds. Open doors. TM School of Mechanical, Industrial, & Manufacturing Engineering Petition Process Examples Students construct a drive mechanism for their project using V belts. During testing it becomes evident that a chain and sprockets are needed. Students have no funding remaining to buy sprockets, ask sponsor for more funding (change in ER: budget). Sponsor agrees to increase in budget. Approve & waive penalty? Approve & impose penalty? Refuse?
