The final project will constitute 35% of your course grade. Please see
this Gallery link for examples of final projects
from the previous term.
What to Hand In
- Leave your completed physical final project in your project bin
(the same one you used for the Pascaline) in the DFab lab. You can
have it back after we've graded it.
- Package the following items in a zip file that you submit through AutoLab by
December 12:
- Your SolidWorks design files.
- At least two photographs of your physical project, suitable for
display in the gallery we'll be creating. "Suitable" means the
picture is in focus, properly lit, and with an uncluttered
background.
- A text file with a brief writeup of your project, describing the
idea and pointing out something interesting about it. "Interesting"
could mean use of sophisticated SolidWorks features (e.g.,
parameterized equations, or reference geometry and lofts), unusual
construction techniques (such as the "dragon's claw" latch technique
we discussed in class), noteworthy artistic features, or something
else.
- Additional links or images to help illustrate your point. For
example, if you're doing something clever in SolidWorks, include some
SolidWorks screen captures that show off what you did. If you're
modeling a character or an object from popular media, include a
picture of the actual thing you're modeling. If you're creating a
variant of an existing product, include a link to the source of your
inspiration in the text file you submit.
Due Date
Final projects are now due by December 15. The deadline was
pushed back from December 12 because of the problems we've been having
with the Cube 3 printer cartridges failing.
