Project Description |
The project aims to add in time-based factor to measure the nature of the experiential tasks or milestones in the course. We intend to measure the time taken by the team to reach the main milestones, namely, the delivery of project charter and the submission of the team’s overall design concept. This time-based measurement will give us in-process feedbacks on how the course is being received and how we should gauge the difficulty of the course and fine-tune the content of the remaining part of the course. This is an additional metric that is particularly useful to measure experiential learning as this allows us to calibrate the assigned experiential tasks' difficulty. |

Project Outcome |
Students learned the industrial way to collect voice of customers and determined their project Ys (based upon CTQs) and carried out project activities and project management that ensure the project Ys were accomplished on time and budget Each group overcame their first milestone hurdle to generate the first 3D CAD drawing and BOM of their own EV Students were eager to propose ideas and find out how to reassure their design ideas by carrying out Finite Element Analysis and experiments to prove their viabilities before putting them into their solid products Each group manufactured their own design modules and securely assembled their own EV that could race with other teams’ EVs in class. The competition had really brought out their best, teamwork, dedication and hard work towards building own unique EV The students were able to successfully attempt what a graduate engineer can do by converting their ideas into practical design features that can live up to the satisfaction of their customers regarding additional safety, seat room and a hard rain proof shelter etc.. |
