Gate 1 - Project Planning (Group 10)

Your group needs to provide an overview of how you plan to reverse engineer your product. Propose an approach for disassembly and assembly with specific details on what tools will be required, how long it will take and the challenges you have identified through initial inspection of your product. Be sure to include a summary of the capabilities your group has and the shortcomings you may have. (You will not be penalized for providing an honest evaluation of your abilities, I want you to take time to assess those skills you currently have or may need to develop to be successful).

• Project Management: Work Proposal gate 1 -(Group 10)

How does your group plan to manage its work? Provide a point of contact for me to get in touch with your group and outline how often you will meet, where you will meet and at what time. Provide me with a plan that will enable you to meet all the project requirements in the timeline provided. You should also provide roles for your group members, like “Project Manager,” “Technical Expert,” “Communication Liaison” or others that will be needed for success. For each role outline a list of responsibilities. Be sure to address how you will handle group conflicts.

• Project Management: Management Proposal -(Group 10)

Complete a thorough analysis of your product without doing any dissection, either physical or virtual; you may not open up your product beyond normal usage or use exploded assembly drawings. Normal usage covers anything a customer would do in using the product, such as changing a filter in a vacuum cleaner or replacing batteries in a toy. The goal of this stage is to familiarize your group with the product and gather the required information to successfully complete the product dissection. Your analysis should at a minimum answer the questions in Table 1. Use photographs, videos, and animations when appropriate.
