IMPORTANT STATEMENT
Plagiarism: the presentation of the work of another (from whatever source: book,
journal, internet etc) as if it were one's own independent work. This can be
anywhere on a continuum ranging from sloppy paraphrasing to verbatim
transcription without crediting sources.
You are advised to refer to the Student Handbook on matters of cheating and plagiarism
as they relate to coursework, group assignments, class tests and examinations. Both
cheating and plagiarism are totally unacceptable and the University maintains a strict
policy against them. It is YOUR responsibility to be aware of this policy and to act
accordingly.
The University requires that the following statement is included in all module documents.
"You are reminded of the University Disciplinary Procedures which refer to cheating.
Except where the assessment of an assignment is group-based, the final piece of work
which is submitted must be your own work. Close similarity between assignments is
likely to lead to an investigation for cheating. It is not advisable to show your
completed work to your colleagues or to share and exchange disks.
You must also ensure that you acknowledge all sources you have used. Work which is
discovered to be the result of collusion or plagiarism will be dealt with under the
University's Disciplinary Procedures, and the penalty may involve the loss of academic
credits.
If you have any doubts about the extent to which you are allowed to collaborate with
your colleagues, or the conventions for acknowledging the source you have used, you
should first of all consult module documentation and, if still unclear, your module tutor."
You will be asked to confirm in writing when handing in any piece of assessed work that it
is your own by completing the Coursework Submission & Record Form which should be
printed from ECMS My-course on https://mytid.bcu.ac.uk/.
It is the STUDENT'S responsibility to accurately complete the form and comply with its
rules and guidance as described in the student handbook for this academic year.3
Siemens Green Power Challenge
Chassis Design
Aim: Reduce Weight and Maximise Space Efficiency: Produce a Product Design
Specification, Concept Generation and Selection with CAD Model of the selected design.
Design must be in compliance with the rules of the competition.
Fig1. Typical competitor for this type of product.4
Tasks:
1. Write a suitable PDS (use the Stuart Pugh Methodology).
2. Develop and chose a suitable concept.
3. Model all the components as separate parts.
4. Identify all the fixing points and joining technology used in your design.
5. Assemble the parts to form a complete CAD assembly of the car. Run clash
analysis as required.
6. Select a critical structural part and run an FE analysis to ensure the design meets
the required specification. Display clearly where the maximum stress and deflection
is generated on the part chosen.
7. Create the necessary engineering drawings. Produce 1st angle orthogonal views:
Front view, Side view, Plan and isometric. Orthogonal views are to show the
principle dimensions. In addition produce: A sectioned view through the centre line
of the chair and an exploded view of the assembly. Include the bill of materials.
Each student will produce a report with sections containing the necessary data,
engineering drawings, diagrams and screen shots imported into M.S Word. Work is to
be clearly labelled with the name of the student and information about the picture and
drawings. Use sections, headings and page numbers in your report. Upload the report
to Moodle as a PDF document.
Learning Outcome Learning and Teaching Methods
On completion of the module, the student should be able to:
1 Review and use analytical techniques and
processes to identify product needs Lectures and tutorials.
Independent learning: Identification and
investigation of relevant topics.
Directed and undirected self study
Problem based learning
Lectures workshops and tutorials,
Directed and undirected self-study.
2 Identify and use modern design tools to
develop design solutions to specific problems
3 Appraise advanced modelling, assembly and
analysis design tools
4 Evaluate designs in terms of their
performance and optimal use of materials
Workload:
This report is equivalent word count of over 4000 words for guidance for students with
support summaries.
22 hours approx.5
1) Do not include the assignment brief and any internet copies of standard parts as
these should be kept to a minimum and placed in an appendix.
2) It is standard practice not to produce detail drawing of the standard parts. They
may be easy to model and draw but they add no value for the student and only act
as filler material in terms of a report on design.
3) Students should think check their work before submission.
4) Marks are awarded for method as well as the end result.6
Marks will be based on the following:

Presentation title:
Presentation:
The presentation will be assessed on evidence of:
Planning design, concepts and evaluation; design and evaluation; analysis of any issues
relating to the final design.
The presentations will assess the ability to argue issues relating to the methodology
adopted and the analysis of the results as well as justification of the conclusions and
recommendations. The presentation will be assessed on the following criteria:
