1. Engineering Design Review Example
ECE 480

2. Define the customer problem or product opportunity
Customer wish
Example: I want a robot assistant to go to Spartys in the Engineering Building and buy me a hot tea and deliver it to me during my lecture here in EB 1145.

3. Customer Critical Requirements (As a result of VOC)
Need to get the order to Spartys
Order needs to be correct (I like English Breakfast tea – not Earl Grey tea)
Need to pick up and transport the hot tea
Need to pay for the order
Hot tea needs to delivered hot and unspilled
If the robot has a problem I want to be informed

4. System level engineering specification
Order and payment system is needed that communicates from me to Spartys that initiates the order and indicates the time of the pickup
Robot needs to receive communication to pick up the hot tea, location of pickup and location of delivery
Robot needs to leave from its current location and arrive at Spartys within one minute of the requested order pick up time
Robot needs to transport the hot tea to me within 3 minutes so that it stays hot
Robot needs to safely transport the tea without hitting people or things (or spilling the tea)
Robot needs to return to its home base and recharge batteries so it is ready for the next request

5. Engineering Design Subsystems
Delivery System

7. System Level Schedule and Milestones
This will also be done as a GANTT Chart
Establish Key Milestones
Example:
Pick Robotic platform (Week 6)
Establish communications from Phone to Spartys and make payment (Week 8)
Establish Communication from phone to robot (Week 10)
Design way to hold hot tea cup (Week 9)
Establish navigation system working by following directions given to someone walking route and sense location (Week 11)
Install collision sensors on Robot and test (Week 10)
Have first prototype working –robot travels route (Week 11)
Have final prototype working (Week 14)
You will have more detail in you final GANTT chart
