ENGR 482 Engineering Design II

This course is a continuation of ENGR 481, the second phase of a two-semester Capstone project. Students are challenged to combine knowledge of design principles, engineering principles, and ethics to complete a project that meets customer requirements, delivers to client on schedule, and stays within budget. Through this process, students gain experience working in a team; communicating effectively; writing technical reports, setting and meeting objectives; developing a design; designing to cost, code, and safety constraints; and building and qualifying a finished design, product, process, or prototype.

After reading the Course Syllabus and Student Expectations, the student will complete the related checklist found in the Course Overview.

Report/Drawings

Task 1: Revised Project Report and Pre-Construction Drawings

• Team updates the project plan that was approved in ENGR 481.
• Team researches detailed design considerations applicable to the project.
• Team consistently gets input from Mentor.
• Team revisits existing and identifies new applicable codes, engineering standards, and safety regulations.
• Team develops pre-construction drawings (plan set) with detailed report explaining designs and solutions.
• The files must be submitted via Canvas before starting the next Task.
• Submit all documents as a ZIP file using the following naming format: ENGR482_RPP_Team_0<#>.zip (example: Team 3 would submit the document as “ENGR482_RPP_Team_03.zip”). The files contained in the zip file should be named in such a manner as to be easily identified by course number, file content, and team number.

Task 2 – Updated Pre-Construction Plan Set and Report

Progress continued on determining solutions.

• Team researches detailed design considerations applicable to the project.
• Team consistently gets input from Mentor.
• Team revisits existing and identifies new applicable codes, engineering standards, and safety regulations.
• Team develops pre-construction drawings (plan set) with detailed report explaining designs and solutions.
• The files must be submitted via Canvas before starting the next Task.
• Submit the document as a zip file using the following naming format: ENGR482_PD_Team_0<#>.zip (example: Team 3 would submit the document as “ENGR482_PD_Team_03.zip”).

• The files must be submitted via Canvas before starting the next Task.
• Submit task documents in a zip file using the following naming format: ENGR482_DP-1_Team_0<#>.zip (example: Team 3 would submit the document as “ENGR482_DP-1_Team_03.zip”). The files contained in the zip file should be named in such a manner as to be easily identified by course number, file content, and team number. If there is an intermediate submission (like a progress report) use appropriate naming to reflect that.

• Team finalizes drawings, solutions, and report.
• The files must be submitted via Canvas before starting the next Task.
• Submit the document as a zip file using the following naming format: ENGR482_DVV_Team_0<#>.zip (example: Team 3 would submit the document as “ENGR482_DVV_Team_03.zip”). The files contained in the zip file should be named in such a manner as to be easily identified by course number, file content, and team number.

Report/Drawings

Task 05: FINAL Pre-Construction Plan Set and Final Report

• Team finalizes pre-construction plan set and final report. 
• The files must be submitted via Canvas before starting the next Task.
• Submit the document as a zip file using the following naming format: ENGR482_CP_Team_0<#>.zip (example: Team 3 would submit the document as “ENGR482_CP_Team_03.zip”). The files contained in the zip file should be named in such a manner as to be easily identified by course number, file content, and team number.

All teams will participate in an update meeting to inform other teams of progress and how design may effect other project aspects. Teams will rotate through meeting facilitation duties. 

Team submits a Poster (4′ W X 3′ H) that will be used to showcase their work during the residential capstone exposition.

• Team submits a 2–3-minute (“poster session Infomercial” or short presentation) mp4. This video will be streamed in a continuous loop during the poster session at the residential capstone expo. This video should showcase the highlights of the capstone project.
• The project video consists of a .mp4 file and all graphics employed in the video.
• The files must be submitted via Canvas before the deadline indicated in Canvas.
• Submit the document as a zip file using the following naming format: ENGR482_PVP_Team_0<#>.zip (example: Team 3 would submit the document as “ENGR482_PVP_Team_03.zip”). The files contained in the zip file should be named in such a manner as to be easily identified by course number, file content, and team number.

• Teams shall virtually attend a Live Capstone Expo that is planned at the end of the semester. In this expo, the project posters will be put on display to the public, in the Engineering atrium of DeMoss building at Liberty University Campus, and online capstone students will join the event, and answer any questions, via streaming (Teams or equivalent medium). The School of Engineering will make the necessary accommodations to facilitate the virtual participation of online capstone students.  

Team submits a longer (Final) presentation video. In this video team can use any resources (PowerPoint slides, physical artifacts, tables, figures, photos, etc. from different sources)
