Turnitin submission requirement Yes Turnitin Grade Mark feedback used? No Other electronic system used? No Are submissions / feedback totally electronic? No Form of assessment: 1 Individual work 0 Group work For group work assessment which requires members to submit both individual and group work aspects for the assignment, the work should be submitted as: 0 Consolidated single document 0 Separately by each member Number of assignment copies required: 1 1 0 2 0 Other Assignment to be presented in the following format: 1 On-line submission 1 Stapled once in the top left-hand corner 0 Glue bound 0 Spiral bound 0 Placed in a A4 ring bound folder (not lever arch) Note: To students submitting work on A3/A2 boards, work has to be contained in suitable protective case to ensure any damage to work is avoided. Soft copy: 0 CD (to be attached to the work in an envelope or purpose made wallet adhered to the rear) 0 USB (to be attached to the work in an envelope or purpose made wallet adhered to the rear) 0 Soft copy not required Note to all students Assignment cover sheets can be downloaded from UEL Direct All work has to be presented in a ready to submit state upon arrival at the Hub. Assignment cover sheets or stationery (including staplers) will NOT be provided by the Hub staff. This will mean students will not be able to staple cover sheets at the Hub. Work which is not presented to the required specification will not be accepted by the Hub staff. The report will have a word count of approximately 3000 words excluding diagrams, content page, references and appendix) School of Architecture, Computing & Engineering EG5163 Project and Quality Management for Mechanical Engineers Assignment 1: Failure Mode and Effect Analysis Background FMEA is primarily a qualitative tools which can support proactive quality strategies. Successful FMEA requires pertinent knowledge and insight as well as engineering judgment. It is a structured approach to that seeks to identify possible failure modes and mechanisms, the effects or consequences that failure modes may have on performance, methods of detecting the identified failure modes and possible means for prevention. In many cases, a criticality assessment of the probability of encountering the failure mode is made. The net results from effective FMEA work are product and process action plans for elimination or at least mitigation of the failure modes. Failure mode and effects analysis is absolutely essential in sound design practice, from product and process definition. It is recognised as a fundamental tool in the reliability engineering field. It is also widely used in maintainability, safety and survivability analysis. Task Develop a failure mode effective analysis (FMEA) for the car suspension design that you are working for Formula SAE competition. Assignment Presentation Notes: Your responses should include a well-researched written account with a clear structure. To do well in this assignment: • Read around the subject – refer to core text books • Describe what you know and understand. • Use clear plain English, check your spellings • If you include images or photos make sure that include captions and cross reference them to the text. • Read it through once written to make sure it makes sense. • Submit the work on time.

All the work must be the students own. 2. Work is to be word processed and this should be in a clear legible typeface and double line spaced, single sided. Calculations must be logically laid out so that they can be easily checked. Sketches can be in pencil with inked notes, CAD or Word, but must be scanned and included in electronic submission. All pages should be clearly numbered. 3. Submissions must be properly structured; this involves pre-planning your work. A conclusion will be expected. 5. The work must have a bibliography and/or a list of references used, properly cited within the text. All referenced to ‘CITE THEM RIGHT’. Use Harvard referencing format. 6. In industry presentation of information is of paramount importance. Marks will be awarded for the quality of the presentation skills used. 7. All work submitted electronically via the Turnitin Link provided and printed copy to Docklands Student Support Hubs. Do not put your assignment in plastic pockets/folders. 8 If the file is too large to upload in its original form e.g. Word or PowerPoint then the work should be saved as a pdf which should compress pictures and scans. 9. The information to be included on the front sheet of the assignment is as follows: a) The University and Department Title. b) Students full name, course title and year. c) The Unit/Unit Number and Title. d) The Title of the piece of work. e) The date. f) The assignment brief does not need to be submitted 10. Work which is submitted after the due date (or such extended date as agreed) but within 24 hours of original submission time will receive a 5% penalty. Any work received after 24 hours of the due date will receive zero marks. Students who make an attempt at any part of the coursework will be deemed to have taken an opportunity as described in the student handbook.
