PROTOTYPING AND DETAILED DESIGNPhase 3 of the product development process is producing a detailed design and CAD modelbased on the system architecture developed in the previous phase. CAD modeling is an iterativeprocess, which usually starts from hand sketches of the major and auxiliary function carriers, aswell as the connections between them. Figure 3 (A) shows the hand sketch of the spindleassembly that provides movement on z direction as well as the adaptor for the bit change. (B) is apreliminary CAD model with the major parts simply laid out. The detailed CAD model is shownat (C), a

completeexplanation of the process and solution(s) used.Measuring Learner Achievement. The course intends to bring together most topics that studentshave learned in seeking their degree. It will include two primary components: a) the designprocess; b) productive team behaviors. Grades are based on demonstrated contribution to thecompletion of the interim and final project(s), including your individual contribution and the finalreport / presentation. The final report must include all specifications, testing procedures, datacollected, design decisions and performance of the final project in comparison to the initialspecifications for the product. It will not be accepted after the last scheduled class. The parts listand budget are due with this report.Since

requirements to constrain the designspace, largely for safety, similar to the role of a government transportation agency. For example:there must be at least one seat facing forward, at least two clear lights must be visible from thefront, at least two red lights must be visible from the rear, and only one chassis may be used.Some requirements may be automatically checked based on a bill of materials (BOM) but othersmust be visually inspected by the instructor for each proposed design.

, I worked for NASA at a Satellite Tracking Station in Ecuador Subsequently I obtained my M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Applied Mathematics at the University of Colorado, Boulder. My Ph.D. dissertation work (on Neural Networks applied to control systems and automation) went to the DOD in Virginia. My formal grad- uate academic training was in Control Systems, Telecommunications and Applied Mathematics. After receiving my Masters and Ph.D. degrees in EE, I joined AT&T Bell Laboratories. During my tenure at Bell Labs, I became skilled in the formal methodology and processes of Systems Engineering and Sys- tems Architecture applied to large systems. Throughout my career, in the high-tech
