        Task<\/h3>\nThe Department of Mechanical Engineering hosts a DESIGN EXPO every semester allowing student design teams to show off the work they have accomplished.\u00a0 It is also an opportunity for the department to show others (students, faculty, and public) what mechanical engineering design is about. This is your team\u2019s best opportunity to market your design to others.\u00a0In this assignment the teams will create a ME Design Expo poster that summarizes the design process results. This poster will be presented to diverse audiences and the team will also have their prototype at the Design Expo. The team members will have a schedule for different team members to staff their Design Poster and Prototype location. The Design Expo includes all sections of ME 2700.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nKeys to success on this assignment is to allocate work and to maximize the roles\/responsibilities within the team. The team's schedule will be key to ensure that there is coverage at their ME Design Expo location to answer questions that might be asked by a diverse audience.\n

        The Team must submit a poster using the PPTX template provided in Canvas and provide\u00a0a schedule indicating who will be transporting the prototype to the EXPO, who will be staffing your stand\/display at given times for the DESIGN EXPO, and who will clean up. Each team must assist in breaking down the displays and returning projects to classroom.<\/p>\n\n

        \n\nIn this assignment, teams will develop a final presentation that will include the incorporation of a voice-over video that highlights the functionality of the design. Teams have flexibility with the voice-over video. The video could be completed by utilizing CAD animation\/motion study or a video of the prototype's functionality while going through the testing process.\n\nIn order to successfully complete this assignment, the teams must interact\/discuss both in-class and on MS Teams (if needed) the roles\/responsibilities that will lead to workload allocation in this assignment. The teams have a lot of flexibility in the video production, and are encouraged to share ideas in consultation with the instructor. The assignment provides the time constraints and specific instructions. A key success factor is to follow the instructions in the assignment and consult with the instructor when questions\/concerns arise, and clarity is needed.\n\nThis activity will help you to develop...\n
