SAFETY MINOR REQUIREMENTS � Significant Safety Content If anyone on your team is working on the Safety Minor, the project must have significant safety content The team member(s) working on the Safety Minor must work on that safety content � What to do: See Dr. Piper ASAP ▪ Fill out the paperwork ▪ (there is always more paperwork) ▪ 2 nd Term – make sure that your Concept Design was approved for the Safety minor ▪ Do the design work ▪ Invite Dr. Kerk or Dr. Piper to the Conceptual Design Presentation ▪ Get feedback and adjust accordingly ▪ Do the implementation work ▪ Invite Dr. Kerk or Dr. Piper to the Final Results Presentation ▪ Graduate (hopefully) with a Safety Minor

SIX SIGMA CERTIFICATE REQUIREMENTS � Six Sigma Project (IENG 463) requirements: DMAIC process is used DURING the project Stand alone project report is submitted for a LETTER GRADE � Six Sigma Project Report: Report Structure: ▪ Cover Page ▪ Introduction & Problem Statement ▪ Headings for DMAIC Sections ▪ Recommendations, Conclusions and Acknowledgements ▪ References ▪ Appendices � Report is due at NOON on Last day of Finals Week

PROJECT PROPOSAL PREPARATION � Engineering Project Proposal Sections: ▪ Cover Page ▪ Executive Summary ▪ Introduction ▪ Problem Statement ▪ Constraints ▪ Scope of Work ▪ ▪ Deliverables Tasks Timing Budget ▪ Team Qualifications ▪ Team Members and Roles ▪ Summary of Team Qualifications ▪ Conclusions and Recommendations ▪ References ▪ Appendices � E-mailed copy of the Project Proposal is due at 5: 00 PM, 08 FEB

ENGINEERING NOTEBOOK Care and Maintenance Requirements

Engineering Notebooks � Individual Responsibility Must be legally constructed ▪ Pages can’t be re-sequenced ▪ Missing pages are easily identified as such Must be legally documented ▪ Entries must be accurate ▪ Entries must be chronological ▪ Entries of importance should be witnessed Examples to document: ▪ Meeting times, places, attendees, topics ▪ Relevant phone conversations ▪ Relevant expenditures, mileage ▪ Design principles, concepts, sketches ▪ Engineering results, decisions, rationale Copies are placed in Project Notebook regularly 1/8/2022 10

Engineering Notebooks � Engineering Notebooks are a permanent record for legal purposes Notebooks have a durable cover Pages are sewn or perfect bound (not loose-leaf or spiral 1/8/2022 bound) Entries are made with permanent methods Entries are made in sequential order & dated Errors are lined out, but not obliterated Loose material is attached within the notebook pages (if possible), or referenced within (if not) 11

Using Your Engineering Notebook � Blow-by-blow Documentation Corner of page ▪ Date & time ▪ Location ▪ Personnel present Title of task ▪ ▪ Experimental conditions, equipment ID numbers Blow-by-blow record of process Sketches of experimental setup / design Summarize major decisions / results Single line ends an activity, Double line ends day 1/8/2022 12
