AB  -                       Team-Based Design-and-Build Projects in a                     Large Freshman Mechanical Engineering ClassAbstractIn 2013-14, [institution] will be undergoing a significant curriculum change. As part of this change, thefreshman Mechanical Engineering Experience is being redesigned to incorporate a comprehensivefreshman design experience. This paper describes the development of a design and build project that isbeing piloted during 2012-13, and will be launched full-scale during 2013-14.The project has been developed to satisfy a number of constraints:   • Accommodate large class sizes: plan for nearly 300 students per year   • Limited financial and personnel resources: $10/student and existing machine shop staff   • Respect for departmental history: freshmen must still make the traditional machinist’s hammer       that has been part of our curriculum for decades   • Allow students to be creative in a meaningful way   • Pose the problem in such a way that there is not one obvious solution   • Require collaborative effort within teams (and between teams, if possible)   • Require analysis appropriate for students who have completed high school physics and pre-       calculusThe project identified for this course is to charge students with designing a mechanical musicalinstrument that will play a song on metallic chimes. This project satisfies all the required constraints, andeven allows students to incorporate the historical freshman hammer into their apparatus to strike thechimes. This paper will discuss how the constraints have been addressed in the design of the project, andhow the project will be integrated into a course that will cover design process, in addition to basic skills inCAD, machine shop operations, and teamwork.
