Engineering Project Homework: Format & Techniques

AI Thread Summary
The project involves redesigning a failed design and creating new designs using SolidWorks. A structured format is suggested, starting with an introduction, followed by research on current technologies, and an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the existing design. The report should include specifications, sketch designs, and explanations of the techniques used. Emphasizing the narrative flow of the report can enhance clarity, making it compelling like a story with a clear beginning, middle, and conclusion. Continuing to simplify the process and maintain focus will lead to a successful project outcome.

Homework Statement



I am doing a Project that involves taking a failed design .and coming up with new designs
the designs then have to be drawn up on solidworks. I am a mature student who has been out of school for a while, and I am not too familiar with projects. I am going ok, but the lecturers do not want to give to much away.

As I am sure many of you guys have done a lot of projects before. Is there a format I should be using. Like Introduction first. basically what areas do i need to cover. any input is greatly appreciated



Homework Equations


This is the basics of the projects
Research technology used in current design and elsewhere
Describe the good & bad
Draw up specification

Sketch Designs
Draw up Designs on solidworks and explain techniques used

take into account effect on other parts from the new design

A good project report reads compellingly like a good story, with a beginning, middle and (hopefully, happy) end. You need to build the beads to thread onto the string and then have connecting pieces, such as 'what I decided to do next, and why'. I think you have made a good start. Keep it simple and keep going.
