Concept Screening & Scoring Team N

 ⚙ Concept Screening & Scoring ⚙

The Concept Screening & Scoring portion of the AEV preliminary R&D was created as part of lab activity 5 to compare, contrast and score the various AEV designs developed by individual team members. Below are the tables that were created to compare the designs in an organized, quantitative manner.


The concept screening system allowed the team to vote and give a score to certain design considerations with each AEV design.  Each subsection of the concept scoring could be given a “-“(worse than sample),”0″(equal to sample), or “+”(better than sample) score that was based on the given sample AEV.

The concept scoring portion of the activity allowed the team members to assign more weight to certain design aspects in order to narrow down an overall design winner.  For example, our team of engineers determined that safety would hold more weight than marketability.
