COURSE OVERVIEW
ME/IE 497 and & ME/IE 498, the School of Mechanical, Industrial, & Manufacturing Engineerings
capstone design sequence, gives MIME seniors the opportunity to integrate the engineering knowledge
and experience theyve gained throughout their undergraduate program and apply their skills to work on
real-world engineering projects. To complete these projects, teams of students (1) work with sponsors,
perform analyses, and conduct research to develop requirements for a mechanical or industrial system or
solution to a mechanical or industrial engineering problem; (2) design the system or solution methods; (3)
implement a prototype, model, or method according to the system or solution design; (4) operate the
prototype, model, or method; (5) evaluate the prototype, model, or method with respect to the project
requirements; (6) document the process, products, and results; and (7) manage the projects.
Each student team works on a distinct project. In addition to being supervised and evaluated by one of the
course instructors, each team works with a representative of the projects sponsor or customer (sponsor
mentor) and a faculty advisor who provides technical guidance and consulting. In addition to their
technical roles, the sponsor mentor and faculty advisor evaluate student performance and provide input to
the course instructors for grading purposes. For some projects, the sponsor mentor and faculty advisor
may be the same person. In rare cases, one of the course instructors may fill all three roles.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the completion of MIME Capstone Design, students will be able to perform the following tasks:
1.
Starting from a sponsors statements of need, work with the sponsor, perform appropriate
research and analyses, and apply relevant engineering standards to develop formal requirements
for a mechanical system, an industrial system, or the solution to a mechanical or industrial
problem.
2.
Considering multiple alternative approaches, design and implement a prototype, model, or
method to meet those requirements by correctly applying appropriate engineering principles.
3.
Operate or implement the prototype, model, or method and evaluate the results against the
requirements using objective performance measures.
4.
Plan and manage the project so as to use team resources efficiently and meet project requirements
on time and on or under budget.
5.
Recognize and constructively address ethical dilemmas that may arise and potential adverse
environmental, safety, health, and social impacts.
6.
Collaboratively produce written and oral reports that effectively communicate project information
to target audiencesi.e., that are at the appropriate technical level for these audiences and follow
disciplinary conventions of usage, vocabulary, format, and citation.
7.
Function effectively on a team, contributing to all major aspects of the design, implementation,
and testing of an engineering project.

ABET PROGRAM OUTCOMES

In developing your skills in product design and development, the MIME capstone design course sequence
directly supports ABET Program Outcome c, Ability to design a system, component, or process to
meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political,
ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.
In focusing on the communication and teamwork skills needed for producing formal engineering reports
and preparing and delivering professional-quality oral presentations, thinking critically about local and
global design issues, and working collaboratively on engineering projects, this course sequence also
supports ABET Program Outcome d, Ability to focus on multidisciplinary teams, and g, Ability to
communicate effectively. Note that the communication-related deliverables for MIME Capstone Design
also satisfy the Universitys Writing Intensive Curriculum baccalaureate core requirement.
Finally, the content of this capstone design course sequence also supports ABET Program Outcome f,
Understanding of professional and ethical responsibility and i Recognition of the need for, and
ability to engage in, lifelong learning.

POLICY REGARDING STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

Accommodations for students with disabilities will be made according to University policy.
Accommodations are collaborative efforts between students, faculty, and Services for Students with
Disabilities (SSD). Students with accommodations approved through SSD are responsible for contacting
the faculty member in charge of the course prior to or during the first week of the term to discuss
accommodations. Students who believe they are eligible for accommodations but who have not yet
obtained approval through SSD should contact SSD immediately at 737-4098.

POLICY REGARDING STUDENT ACADEMIC DISHONESTY AND CONDUCT

Instances of student academic dishonesty and improper conduct will be dealt with according to University
policy. Students are referred to http://oregonstate.edu/admin/stucon/achon.htm for a definition and
examples of academic dishonesty and improper conduct.

MACHINING LAB CERTIFICATION

For students completing senior projects with significant mechanical design requirements, certification to
work in the MIME machining lab is strongly encouraged. If you are not certified, contact Steve Adams
immediately to schedule your certification. Lack of machining lab certification is not a valid excuse for
your project being over budget or behind schedule or otherwise failing to meet course requirements.

CATIA
For teams enrolled in ME 497/98 Section 002, both the Baja SAE and Formula SAE vehicles will be
designed using CATIA V5. If you do not have working knowledge of CATIA V5 for part and assembly
modeling, you should enroll in ME 249: Project (CATIA). Inexperience with CATIA is not a valid excuse
for your project being over budget or behind schedule or otherwise failing to meet course expectations
and requirements.

ME 206
All students involved in ME 497/98 SAE projects are strongly encouraged to attend the ME 206 lectures.
ME 206 provides background theory on race car design and advice on practical applications.

GRAF HALL WORKSPACE

Capstone design project workspace is available in Graf on a first-come, first-served basis. See Prof.
Parmigianis GTA for availability. Use of this space is subject to the following guideline and rules:
1.
Project workspaces must be kept neat, clean, organized, and safe at all times. The instructors
reserve the right to deduct up to 100 course points for failure to comply with this requirement.
2.
Unless approved by a course instructor, the workspace must be completely emptied by the end of
winter term. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in a course grade of Incomplete.
3.
At least one other student must be present at all times when machinery, steam, compressed air, or
electrical devices are used.
4.
Students may not use the space after hours (MF midnight7 am; S/S midnight10 am).
5.
Unauthorized students are not allowed access to the space.
6.
Other teams equipment/supplies in the space must not be disturbed.

ATTENDANCE POLICY
Attendance is required at all instructor-scheduled class and team meetings (i.e., everything listed on the
class schedule). Your signature on the attendance sheet indicates that you have attended the entire class
session. You are permitted two absences without penalty; for every absence beyond the second, your
course grade will be reduced by 1/3 of a letter grade (e.g. A to A- to B+ to B). Attendance will be taken
with sign-in sheets.
1.
It is your responsibility to sign-in during class and to check the course web site to verify that your
attendance has been recorded correctly.
2.
Do not sign-in for someone else. This is academic dishonesty and will be dealt with accordingly.
3.
Sign in ONLY if you attend the entire class or meeting

HOUSE OF QUALITY
Any changes to the House of Quality (customer requirements, engineering requirements, testing plans,
etc.) must be done using the procedure presented in class. Unauthorized changes are not valid and will
result in a grade penalty.
A fully approved House of Quality is required to pass ME/IE 497. If a team does not have an approved
House of Quality at the end of ME/IE 497, all team members will receive an I/F grade for ME/IE 497 and
will not be permitted to take ME/IE 498.

PROJECT REPORT ASSIGNMENT STRUCTURE

The final project written report, which will be completed by the end of ME/IE 498, documents the entire
design project. This substantial document will be produced sequentially, starting with the Background
Report, continuing with the Preliminary and Final Proposals, and culminating in the Final Report. Each
subsequent project document will incorporate and expand on the contents of the previous document,
revised as necessary to meet the current assignment requirements, address reviewer comments on the
previous report iteration, and contain document-appropriate language. (For example, final proposal
narrative written in the future tense will need to be converted to past tense in the final report, the latter
being a project retrospective.)
The project report template will be provided on the course web site and you are required to adhere to this
template. Scoring rubrics for each of the report iterations will also be provided; be sure to consult these
when completing the assignments. Note to students: There are many opportunities to express your
creativity in capstone design; however, modifying the format of the templates provided for written
reports, oral presentations, etc., is not one of them. Follow the supplied templates.
Much of the writing in ME/IE 497 & ME/IE 498 is produced collaboratively, meaning it is generated as a
team. In order to produce coherent collaboratively written documents, each section of each of these
documents will be under the editorial control of designated lead editor (see the assignment descriptions
later in this syllabus). Every team member has lead editor responsibilities at least once per term.

PROJECT MANAGER
In order to simplify communication, one team member must be designated as the project manager. If
possible, this person needs to be available fall, winter, and spring term (to coordinate and set up the
teams Engineering Expo display). If not available spring term, the project manager must arrange for the
Expo display to be set-up in their absence.

CITING SOURCES
In completing the background research for your design project, you are expected to consult multiple
sources, and these sources must be cited correctly in your project report. Unless your faculty advisor
specifically requests a different citation format, use whichever of the following applies to you, :

Students enrolled in ME 497/98 SAE should use SAE citation format (see
http://volunteers.sae.org/authors/references.htm).

Students enrolled in ME 497/98 General and IE 497/498 should use IEEE citation format (see
http://www.ieee.org/portal/cms_docs_iportals/iportals/publications/pubservices/confpub/ieeecitati
onref.pdf)

ENGINEERING NOTEBOOK OR MEMOS (INFORMAL PROJECT WRITING , 100 PTS, INDIVIDUAL)

Hard copy to course instructor due at the end of the term.

Graded by course instructor.

Students must pick one of two options to document their project work through informal writing.
Each student must either keep an engineering notebook for the entire quarter or must write and
send (to project sponsor, faculty advisor, vendors, customers, and/or team members) ten e-mail
memos of at least 600 words each across the course of the term.
This notebook or set of memos is used to record project ideas, identify project issues and
challenges, work out design solutions, list meeting minutes, etc. The notebook or memos will
serve as a diary of a students capstone design experience.
o Notebooks must be bound with permanently-numbered pages (a loose-leaf binder is not
appropriate). Suitable notebooks are available in the OSU bookstore. Notebooks will be
graded using the following criteria:
plus 10 points per quality page (up to 100 points)

minus 10 points if not permanently bound;

minus 10 points if not permanently page numbered (writing page numbers on

originally unnumbered pages, even if in ink, is not acceptable).
For students using memos, a printed copy of each memo must be submitted at the end of
the term. The printed copy should include the e-mail heading information (who the email was sent to, who the e-mail was from, date that e-mail was sent, and title of the
memo). The memos can be printed using double-sided mode and should be arranged
chronologically. A single staple or clip should be used to fasten all memos together. A
single cover sheet with the student name, project name, and instructor name should be
included. Memos will be graded using the following criteria
plus 10 points per quality memo (up to 100 points)

minus 10 points if not arranged chronologically;

minus 10 points if header information is not included on each memo.

The instructor reserves the right to deduct additional points if the intent of the notebook or
memos is not followed (e.g. all or most entries or memos occur at the very beginning or end of
the term, content not suitable).

BACKGROUND REPORT (200 PTS, INDIVIDUAL)

Template on course web site

Hard copies to course instructor, faculty advisor, and sponsor mentor.

Graded by course instructor (House of Quality) and faculty advisor (remainder).

This is an individually written report (one per student) having two primary purposes. The first is
to translate the projects requirements, as provided by the sponsor, into customer requirements (as
defined during the Engineering Methods lectures in class). The second is to describe existing
designs, devices, and/or methodologies that have met similar statements of need or to complete a
current state analysis and benchmarking study. Detailed requirements will be provided on the
course web site in the report template.

PRELIMINARY PROPOSAL (200 PTS, TEAM)

Hard copies to course instructor, faculty advisor, and sponsor mentor.

Graded by course instructor (House of Quality) and faculty advisor (remainder).

 This is a collaborative three-part report:

o The first part is a synthesis of team members individual background reports, combining
the best from each individual report and implementing comments from the grader.
o The second part is a description of the projects engineering requirements (as defined in
the Engineering Methods lectures in class). Lead editor #1 coordinates the writing of
parts one and two.
o The third part (coordinated by lead editor #2) consists of a technical description
(including feasibility) of several (at least three) possible designs that meet the projects
customer requirements. From these designs, one is selected (with justification given) as
the one the team will pursue. Detailed requirements are provided in the report template.
