Task Explanation Completed (Y/N)
Analysis of Design Task Analyse the design task and highlight and explain areas you need to research
Existing Products Analyse and evaluate TWO existing products using the ACCESSFM grid. REMEMBER you have to explain why you think something eg ‘This product is made from steel because…….’
Relevant Sizes Research sizes of objects (iPods, iPads, handle bars etc.) and explain why the research is important and how it will effect you design ideas.
Client Interview This is VERY important. Interview your client (who you are designing and making the product for, they have to be REAL) and ask them questions that will effect the design of the product eg. Where is it going to be used? What does the product need to do? Weight of the product etc. You MUST have a picture of your client and a short paragraph on who they are.
Ergonomics and Anthropometrics
Research how you will need to use ergonomics and anthropometrics in designing successful products. A short paragraph for each explain what they are and then go into detail how they will effect your design ideas. Highlight key data.
Clamping and holding mechanisms
Research and analyse different clamping and holding mechanisms. Take a picture of them, explain how they work and how effective they are. Also discuss what material they are made from.
Specification A Design specification describes in simple specific sentences what you intend your product to be like and what you hope to achieve (bullet points) . Your specifications can be developed under the following headings: Function, Performance , Area of use, User Requirements, Aesthetics, Ergonomics & Anthropometrics , Materials , Manufacturing, Cost, Safety, Environmental issue, Durability. There is another PowerPoint to help you with this

Controlled Assessment Task 4 Tablets and Smart phones are becoming increasingly popular and the range of Apps means that they are being used around the home and car. You have been approached by a company who manufacture tablet and phone accessories to design a stand to support the device while the user is viewing the screen. Two examples of when the product could be used are in the kitchen while following a cooking recipe or in the car using a Sat Nav App. Essential Parameters: The device
Must support either a Tablet or Smart Phone. should be adjustable, to fit a range of Tablets or Smart Phones Should hold the device securely and prevent it falling over It is not necessary that the device is being charged while being supported.

Areas I need to research from the design task Explanation
Controlled Assessment Task 9 A company who manufacture torches have decided to expand their product range. They already manufacture a range of torches and want you to design a holder that will enable one of them to be clipped easily on and off a bike. Essential Parameters: The device • must support the torch securely so that light shines in front of the bike • should be adjustable, to fit on the handle bars of any bike • Should allow for the torch to be attached and detached easily • Must be weather proof

Name: Designing: Specification
A Design specification describes in simple specific sentences what you intend your product to be like and what you hope to achieve. Your specifications can be developed under the following headings:
Function – what is your product meant to do?Performance – how will it do this?Area of use – where will it be used?User Requirements – What are the user requirements for you to consider? Aesthetics – colour, shape, texture, layout, design era?Ergonomics & Anthropometrics –How will your design fit the human user? What Anthropometric data will you need?Materials – what are the properties of the materials you are looking for – cheap? Lightweight, waterproof, textured, scratch resistant? Which materials are suitable and why? Manufacturing – how will your product be made? Consider the methods of production available to you. How many will be made – is there a need for jigs and templates?Cost – is there a budget?Safety – what are the safety factors that you will need to consider?Environmental issues – Design for disassembly? Will recyclable and sustainable materials be used? Durability – will the product withstand regular use?

Task Explanation Completed (Y/N)
Design Ideas Sketch 5 design ideas that meet the design brief and annotate them with how they work, materials they are made out of and how they could be made.
Against the Specification
Use your specifications points to evaluate each ideas. (spec headings; Function, Performance , Area of use, User Requirements, Aesthetics, Ergonomics & Anthropometrics , Materials , Manufacturing, Cost, Safety, Environmental issue, Durability) Mark each idea against the spec using 1-5 (5 being the best) and summarise your scores.
Client Review Ask your client to evaluate each of your designs highlighting strengths, areas of development and modifications. Ensure that you get detailed answers rather than one word answers.

Developed Sketches These must be ALL in 3D (isometric/oblique/2point perspective). They must show how the product is constructed and the changes you have made from the initial ideas.
Auto Desk Inventor Drawings
• All parts of your final design drawn in Inventor. • Assemble parts to make final design. • Develop 3rd Angle Orthographic drawings of each part
Model & Testing Develop a model of part of your final idea (blue foam, card, actual material) test it to see if it it works. Evaluate the outcomes and highlight areas for further development. You MUST highlight here what TESTS you need to do on the possible materials to see if they have the correct properties.

Impact of 2 Engineering Products
You have to explain how an iPhone and Casio watch is manufacture and what materials they are made out of. I have created two help/info sheet that will help you with this. Please ensure that you put it into your own words. DON’T JUST COPY IT. Then you have to redesign the iPhone and Casio watch to improve its product life cycle. Here use the Autodesk ‘Design for Product life Cycle’ Sheet as it has all the answers. Sketch your new design and annotate what you have changed and why. I have also attached an example of a mobile phone that has been design for easy disassembly for ideas to base your redesign on.
Eco Web Assess an existing product (light, torch clamp, phone or tablet holder), going through each part of the web in turn and estimating how good or bad the product is in that area• When complete, join the dots and shade the inside area• Discuss focus areas to make it more sustainable • Identify targets for improvement
