Creative Design
Lab 3 consisted of two parts. In the first part of the lab, each team member individually deliberated and came up with a design of an AEV that fulfilled the requirements set in the Mission Concept Review (MCR). In the second part of the lab, the team worked together to create and design a single AEV that would most effectively meet the MCR criteria. To successfully create the design, the team brainstormed and then proceeded to communicate all ideas outloud to allow for the best AEV design to be chosen. All concept sketches were completed on orthographic drawing paper and included the dimensions, the estimated weight, and the estimated billing materials of the AEV. In future labs, the AEV design will be physically created; therefore, the necessary materials to create the design were necessary to identify. The components to create the AEV include the provided parts and any additional parts bought from an outside source or created using a 3D printer/laser cutter.
Important takeaways were drawn from lab o3, including that:
- The creative design thinking technique, brainstorming, was practiced. Obstacles that prevent creative thinking were presented, so they could be avoided by the team as they designed their AEVs.
- The team’s project portfolio was started.
- Each team member designed an AEV. As a team, a final AEV design was created.
- The MCR and other considerations for AEV design were considered in the brainstorming and designing process to make sure the chosen design fulfills all requirements.
- For each AEV design, all materials and their corresponding costs were identified.
