The technical review
will be in the Pappalardo lab from 7-9:30 PM on the date indicated
in the course schedule.
Your team should be prepared to let instructors use your prototype.
The goal of the review is to assess the functionality of the prototype
from many viewpoints and to help prioritize areas for improvement
prior the final presentation.
Preparation, review
process/schedule, and grading
are discussed in this page.
Preparation
If a special location or arrangements are needed to demonstrate
your prototype, please let the course
instructor know no later than Tuesday before the technical
review date.
Your team should prepare and display a large poster that clearly
highlights critical design specifications (from
your product contract). This will be used by reviewers as a reference for assessing
the prototype's performance. Be ready to discuss questions about the
prototype and to help people use it. Do not plan a formal presentation, but do think about how you would like to guide people through the use of your prototype.
During the evening, your team will also be asked to give a 5 minute demonstration
to be video taped for the website. Your team should plan this
demonstration in advance of the review.
The workspace should be cleaned prior to the review.
Work on the machine shop side of the lab will cease at 4:45 PM, but
you will have shop access through to 7 PM.
Review Process
Instructors will divide into four small groups and be assigned
to different teams. Every 15 minutes the instructors will switch to
a different team according to the schedule below. In total, your team will have four 15 minute review sessions.
The 5 minute video of your team demonstrating the prototype will be
recorded during one of your break periods.
There should be team members present to demonstrate/answer questions,
and at least one person to record notes during the review. The notes
should be disseminated to the team for consideration when prioritizing
improvements before the final presentation.
There needs to be open space to use the prototypes, so students not
involved in the review need to avoid crowding the team workspace.
Some reviewers will want to use the prototype without asking
for instructions.

Grading
This review is the largest single portion of the course
grade. Grading will be based upon the broad considerations listed
in the technical review description.
Instructors will attend the review and then meet immediately following
to discuss each prototype. Preliminary feedback will be provided in class on Friday. The videos
of your demonstration will be on the results
page and more detailed feedback will be provided to your team
using an on-line form. Your team instructors will determine your final
grade for the review.
Your team should consider having an informal meeting on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, after the review and prior to the thanksgiving holiday, to set priorities
for the final presentation. The course instructor will be available to meet with your team for design consultations any time prior to the holiday. |
