2. The Components

3. The Design Process Initial Problem or Project Constraints Initial Designs Collaboration Agreement of Assembly Design of Base Design of Components

4. The Project: Design a desk organizer with interchangeable parts. Constraints: all components must be able to attach to different base units. Must have 5 components on base unit

5. Collaboration Initial collaboration was done via Skype Additional communication – Cell Phone – Text Messages – Email – Share Drive with 1 working word document

6. Example Peg Depth of peg would be.5 “ tn Diameter would be.25” tn Spacing on base would be.75” up and down and across tn

7. Arrangement of holes for base unit. Tb. 1/29/10 Lool L Looks good. I am using a base dimension of 12 x 8.5 with height of 1 all in inches Pegs off accessories diameter.25, length.5, is this what you wanted? tn We should also state a maximum length of pin that the base will accept. I would say that the base should be able to accept a pin that is no longer than.75”. That means there should be a clearance on the back side of each hole of at least.75”. tbb
