What is a Record Book? A Record Book is a place where you write notes, brainstorm ideas, make to-do-lists, perform calcula@ons, sketch concepts, etc. It will serve as a record of what you do on a daily basis on your project. Project Part I Due Monday March 7, 2011 at start of class ObjecGve: Design and build an energy saving passive hea@ng/cooling device that the AUC team can use in the Solar Decathlon and demonstrate it at the Solar Expo (Monday May 16 from 1:00 to 2:00 pm). Learning Outcomes: This project relates to the following course outcomes: 1. The engineering approach to problem solving. You will apply the engineering approach to dening the problem, gathering needed informa@on, searching for crea@ve solu@ons, designing and implemen@ng the design, evalua@ng the design, etc. 2. Engineering communicaGon and presentaGon. You will maintain a Record Book individually to capture your ideas, draw engineering sketches, and prepare a presenta@on including a demo for your product as well as an engineering specica@on for your product. 3. Team work. The project will be in teams of 5 and you will learn to work together so that all of you contribute to the success of your project. OrganizaGon: The project will be divided into several parts to ensure an early start and good progress towards the end goal. The nal outcome is to deliver a product that provides passive hea@ng/cooling. Some aspects of the project will be graded individually while others will be graded for the team as a whole. 5

Your rst assignment: The rst task is to gather background informa@on in a Record Book that will serve as a repository for you throughout this project. Your rst assignment is to 1. Print o a copy of Record Book for your project. 2. Background research: Find informa@on on Solar Decathlon, passive hea@ng/cooling, concepts from past houses, etc sketch them in your Record Book. Also do some background research on desert climate in Egypt and Oriental/Arabesque tradi@onal solu@ons for passive hea@ng/cooling. Due date: The nal product will be due May 16; however, there will be parts due sooner. Part I which is to get a Record Book and start the background research is due Monday March 7, 2011. Teams: You are to work in groups of 5 people. Part of the project grade will be on your ability to func@on successfully as a team. Please note that Record books are to be kept and maintained individually. Grading Checklist: 2 pts Record Book is printed in a proper page format. It includes your name and the names of your team members individual grade 4 pts Record Book contains three sketches of passive hea@ng/ cooling design concepts individual grade 4 pts Record Book contains research on solar decathlon, past student projects, and other informa@on you found in your research individual grade Relevant secGons of your textbook: Sec@on 6.4 Types of Engineering Wri@ng Logs and Notebooks (page 149) for a descrip@on of what a Record Book contains. 6 Sec@on 6.7 Sketching (page 158)

Project Part II Brainstorming ideas & preparing proposal Due Monday March 28, 2011 Whats Next: 1. Meet as a team and brainstorm ideas for your passive hea@ng/ cooling device. Record all ideas in your Record Book. 2. Select a set of criteria that you will use to evaluate the ideas. 3. Rate the ideas and priori@ze them in order of preference. 4. Choose as a team one idea to develop as your groups term project and write a proposal for that idea. Your team will submit a single proposal as a group and you will submit your individual Record Books on the due date. Elements of a proposal: Your proposal should include: 1. Title of your project 2. Name(s) of your team 3. A one-page descrip@on of what you intend to do, how youre going to do what youre proposing. 4. A sketch showing your proposed design, include dimensions and labels as feasible Grading Checklist: 5 pts Brainstorming ideas and selec@on criteria 5 pts Sketch of your teams proposed concept team grade 5 ptsDescrip@on of concept team grade Relevant secGons of your textbook: Chapter 5 the Engineering Approach to Problem Solving, in par@cular the sec@ons on Engineering Teams, Iden@ca@on of the Problem, Gathering Needed Informa@on, Searching for Crea@ve 12 Solu@ons, and Brainstorming
