16-Applications and Implications¶
Applications and Implications: Propose a final project masterpiece that integrates the range of units covered.
Your project should incorporate:
2D and 3D design Additive and subtractive fabrication processes Electronics design and production Embedded microcontroller interfacing and programming System integration and packaging. Where possible, you should make rather than buy the parts of your project. Projects can be separate or joint, but need to show individual mastery of the skills, and be independently operable.
See Final Project Requirements for a complete list of requirements you must fulfil.
The answers to the questions in the checklist will allow you to create your BOM (Bill Of Materials).
Project Development Complete your final project tracking your progress. Learning outcomes Define the scope of a project Develop a project plan including a schedule and a bill of materials (BOM) Track the progress of your project Summarise and communicate the essence of your project development Have you answered these questions? What will it do? Who has done what beforehand? What will you design? What materials and components will be used? Where will they come from? How much will they cost? What parts and systems will be made? What processes will be used? What questions need to be answered? How will it be evaluated? what tasks have been completed? what tasks remain? what has worked? what hasn’t? what questions need to be resolved? what will happen when? what have you learned?
