Re: JVN: The Engineering Design Process & Competition Robotics

Thank you John, the design process is something our students missed out on this year. I am hoping to rectify this mistake over the summer. I am very glad I do not have to start from scratch...

Re: JVN: The Engineering Design Process & Competition Robotics

This is seriously one of the better PP's i've seen in regards to the engineering process. Well done. Had a decent amount of comic relief as well. =)

Loved the quotes:
  • "Steal from the best, invent the rest."
  • "Documentation: Make sure you use the new TPS report cover sheet"
  • "You don’t need to prototype everything, just the things you want to work."
  • "This presentation will DEFINITELY help your performance this weekend… I’ve found that being well rested is important."

OK, but what is the elevator riddle?

Great presentation, I can tell a lot wasn't visible but audible. Next year, I hope...

Residents of a high rise apartment complex complained their elevators were too slow. The landlord hired three engineering firms to investigate.

Company 1 offered a solution costing millions to speed up the elevator.

Company 2 offered a solution costing slightly less to also speed up the elevator.

Company 3 offered to install mirrors in the elevator, costing much less.

The problem wasn't the speed of the elevators, it was that the residents were bored on the elevator. Mirrors gave them something to do (fix ties, comb hair...)

Sometimes the real problem isn't readily apparent.

Or...something like that.

That actually very close to what i had written...

i think it was more like

"it's not the complaint that's the problem, it's the people complaining"

Re: JVN: The Engineering Design Process & Competition Robotics

A couple of us attended and it was pretty funny and useful.

I'd like to hear a few things or see a powerpoint of 234's design process that was mentioned so often.

Thanks for the great information JVN.

If you want to show me a little love, great.
If not... well, I love you anyways.

I strongly feel that this is powerful material. While it is intuitive for many people, for others it is not. You can apply this stuff in any number of areas, including everyday life. I had a lot of fun giving the presentation, and hopefully had some impact. This is a topic that I hope gets talked about more.

As I said at the beginning, this presentation was more about showing mentors a way to teach this stuff. I want others to spread these same messages I've been pushing on 148. If I've inspired others to give similar presentations, I've accomplished my goal.

-John

Re: JVN: The Engineering Design Process & Competition Robotics

Thanks again for this great seminar. As always, you kept me laughing and I came out of that room with a ton of great ideas for the team next year. It was awesome to meet you/coach with you and I hope our paths cross again next year!

His reply would probably be exactly what he replied, right below the message you quoted.
