    The engineering design project tasks students with building a non-powered vehicle to carry an unprotected egg down a 15-degree incline ending at a cinder block wall. The vehicle must be tested launching down the ramp on specified dates. Students will submit a final electronic poster by December 11th documenting the project elements of identifying the problem, researching solutions, developing and selecting a design, constructing a prototype, testing performance, communicating results, and considering redesigns. The project aims to provide students experience with the engineering design process.

    Engineering Design Project (10 pts)

    You are tasked with building a non powered, free rolling vehicle that can move down
    an incline. In this vehicle there must be a passenger, Mr Egg. (an unboiled egg) that
    cannot have on any protective gear. (That is you cannot wrap Mr. Egg in bubble
    wrap), you can however, build a harness device. The ramp will be approximately 20
    ft and be a decline 15 degrees and end on a cinder block wall. To be successful Mr
    Egg must not break or have any cracks.
    Vehicles will be launched and tested on 12/8 (Monday ELM 573 and 12/2 Tuesday
    EMS 506) during class meeting times at Dr. Goodales Residence, 109
    Countryside Lane. Plan accordingly to arrive at the location on time and
    prepared.
    Final EBD project will be due 12/11 online via moodle this should be done on
    electronic poster (Powerpoint) with appropriate links to documents, pictures or
    videos as needed/required.

    Written section of 250300 words that outlines


    past successes and
    failures of previous
    vehicle designs pros and
    cons or flaws or

    evidence.

    Reviews basic hull


    design and
    differences in
    weigh capacity,
    finds pros and cons
    of designs in
    multiple models.

    Review of
    hull design is
    limited, just
    shares
    pictures of
    different
    designs
    without
    detailing
    implications.

    and weakness of
    each.

    a hybrid of two
    designs or fully
    justifies the

    construction of the
    prototype, can be live
    film or picture montage.

    Group shares
    enough of the
    construction
    process to get a
    feel of involvement
    from start to finish.
    Reflection included.

    Only small
    bits of the
    process re
    shared, hard
    to determine
    involvement.
    No reflection.

    List approximate
    materials used and a
    short reflection on how
    easy or difficult it was to
    build from design.
    Test and evaluate
    the solution(s) (2
    pts)

    A short live action video


    of vehicle performance
