Design Project Management Lecture 1: Introduction, projects, team behavior Rochester Institute of Technology Mechanical Engineering Department Rochester, NY USA March 4, 2013 R. I. T Mechanical Engineering

Session Objectives • Course introduction • Introduce project topics • Discuss expectations for team behavior R. I. T Mechanical Engineering

Session Objectives • Course introduction • Introduce project topics • Discuss expectations for team behavior R. I. T Mechanical Engineering

Course & Instructional Staff • 0304 -730 (ME) • 0303 -735 (ISE) • Instructors: De. Bartolo, Gomes Project Mentors: Kaemmerlen, Walker, Garavuso (contact information provided to their teams) R. I. T Mechanical Engineering

DPM Context 1 st in a 3 -course sequence: • DPM – project definition and planning. Vague idea translated to well-defined scope and expectations • MSD I – design on paper. Design concept developed to meet the well-defined expectations from DPM. • MSD II – build and test. Turn the design on paper into reality, test against specs, disseminate results. R. I. T Mechanical Engineering

Design Process (Ulrich & Eppinger Exhibit 2 -2) • Phase 0: Planning DPM • Phase 1: Concept Development MSD I • Phase 2: System-Level Design • Phase 3: Detail Design • Phase 4: Testing and Refinement MSD II • Phase 5: Production Ramp-Up R. I. T Mechanical Engineering

Policies and Expectations • • Participate in class Work both independently and collaboratively. Expect to work at the GRADUATE level. Given broad directions, figure out what needs to be done Deal with uncertainty. Own your project Respond to questions about your project Receive formal feedback throughout quarter, with opportunities to improve based on critique. • Transition from “graded homework assignments” to “assessment of performance” R. I. T Mechanical Engineering

Policies and Expectations • Work for review will be submitted to my. Courses • Grades and content will be hosted on my. Courses • Your final collection of work will be archived on EDGE and/or in an engineering logbook • EDGE used for MSD • More on this Friday… • Example: • https: //edge. rit. edu/edge/P 13032/public/Home R. I. T Mechanical Engineering

Grades • Combination of team-based and individual • • • Project-related submissions: 35% Formal presentations: 15% Written reflections: 15% Reading assignments: 15% In-class exercises: 10% Participation: 10% R. I. T Mechanical Engineering

Course structure • Weeks 1 -3: Gather background information • Out of class identify stakeholders and begin interviews for 10 -week project • Weeks 3 -6: VOC & VOE • Voice of the Customer: Needs Assessment • Voice of the Engineer: Functions, metrics, and specifications • Weeks 7 -10: Project Scope • Evaluate possible solutions • Feasibility analysis • Refine problem definition • Week 11: Final presentation, submit PRP R. I. T Mechanical Engineering

Individual class structure • Introduce a topic related to project • Work time • Report back to class • One or more teams report back to the class • Receive feedback • Ask questions • MW: generally related to project content • F: generally related to project planning and leadership R. I. T Mechanical Engineering

Session Objectives • Course introduction • Introduce project topics • Discuss expectations for team behavior R. I. T Mechanical Engineering

2011 -3 Projects • • • Indoor Air Quality Monitor Boeing Underwater Vehicle Technology Wallace Library Layout for Usability Cary Collection Opportunities Garlock Gasket Test / Electrophotographic Printing test bed • Assistive Technology • Your ideas here… R. I. T Mechanical Engineering

Project Teams • Complete the my. Courses survey by noon Tuesday (tomorrow) • Teams will be assigned Wednesday • Work will be archived on EDGE • Will help you collaborate asynchronously within teams • We will review EDGE and how to use it in a later class! R. I. T Mechanical Engineering

Your job: Vague description Well-defined project R. I. T Mechanical Engineering

---BREAK-- • Take 10 minutes • Return here to discuss team behavior expectations R. I. T Mechanical Engineering

Session Objectives • Course introduction • Introduce project topics • Discuss expectations for team behavior R. I. T Mechanical Engineering

Your thoughts… • What are some aspects of appropriate team behavior that you think are important? • Ex: My team members should all listen to good music. And have neatly trimmed hair. • Take 2 minutes to write a list • Take 5 minutes to consolidate in groups • Create a class-wide list from this R. I. T Mechanical Engineering

Next step… • How do you measure performance against those values? • 1=Polly Wolly Doodle → 5=Beethoven’s 9 th • 1= → 5= • Each group take one value and write norms (510 minutes) • Collect for class R. I. T Mechanical Engineering

Sample from MSD • https: //edge. rit. edu/edge/P 13031/public/Team% 20 Values%20 and%20 Norms • Standard information provided to MSD teams. • What MSD staff felt was important/appropriate. • Teams are encouraged to modify as needed. R. I. T Mechanical Engineering

Why is this important? • Everyone knows what’s expected of them • Negative elements of peer evaluations can be objective, not personal attacks • Conflict will happen – think about how to deal with it before it starts! R. I. T Mechanical Engineering

Don’t forget… • Complete project survey (my. Courses) • By noon, Tuesday 3/5 • Access DPM site on EDGE (link on my. Courses). • By noon, Tuesday 3/5 R. I. T Mechanical Engineering
