Step 1: Define the Problem
Client​ : Mall of America Target Consumer​ : Mall patrons 6-60 years old

Problem Statement​ : The Mall of America in Minneapolis, MN has designated an area of mall space to
construct an indoor mini-golf course. Mall of America executives have placed a call for design concepts
from the leading design firms across the United States. Your design team will be one of several teams
who will pitch a design concept to MOA execs. The winning concept will receive the contract to design
and build a state of the art mini-golf course in the MOA.

Design Statement​: Competing design teams will submit 9-hole mini-golf course design concept
illustrating the team’s overall idea for a mini-golf theme that will attract mall patrons.

Constraints:
1. All holes within a group must have a consistent theme.
2. Entire mini golf course cannot exceed 12,000 square feet.
3. Holes can have elevated features up to 5’, but appropriate safety precautions must be taken.
4. All components of the hole must be less than 5’ tall.
5. Pathways as needed to move from hole to hole must be a minimum of 36” wide.
6. Each hole assembly must use a base, tee-off pad (provided by the Project Manager), and scoring
podium (provided by the Project Manager).
7. Each hole assembly will include a walking path part file that provides access to the previous and
next holes, also all other part files needed for the design of the whole.
Remember when transferring files, it is ESSENTIAL you know what version of Inventor is being used AND
ALL PARTS MUST BE WITH THE ASSEMBLY.
8. All 3D modeling should be done to FULL SCALE. ​Be mindful of scale and units!

Step 2: Ge​nerate Concepts

● Preliminary sketches from all team members ​(Be sure to include annotation or descriptions as
necessary to be able to fully communicate your ideas)
● College Admissions (all 8 ivy leagues stanford, each hole will be themed to the schools colors
and mascot).
● Veganism (different vegetables and fruits per hole)
● Winter
● Ocean
● Video games (each hole surrounds a different themed video game; fortnite, roblox, battlefield,
roblox)
● Pirate
● Golf
● States
● Countries

WINNER: ​PIRATE THEME

Step 3: Develop a Solution
Roles Responsibilities
Project Manager: ___Jared__ Ex: Create base, scoring pad, Hole 1, bathrooms,
entrance, ect
Design Engineer: _Graham.F_ Ex: Holes 2 - 3
Design Engineer: _Gus______ Ex: Holes 4 - 5
Design Engineer: __Patrick __ Ex: Holes 6 - 7
Design Engineer: ____Cam___ Ex: Holes 8 - 9

● Identify team roles and divide all work for the project up amongst teammates
● Use a decision matrix to determine which teammates design will be used.
● Create sketches as needed to document all ideas.
● Establish a Entry/Exit Diagram of entire course layout.

Step 4: Construct and Test Prototype

● Daily updates from team members about progress. ​Example in purple below...
● File sharing when necessary
Graham Fredman 4/9/18: Made gantt chart
Graham Fredman 4/12/18 Made golf course sketch
April 13th, 2018:
Gus: All courses uploaded by all individuals. We began rating each others projects.

text describing my hole design.
5/9/18 Uploaded hole 8 and 9 step files, started on 8 and 9 annotated sketches
Step 5: Evaluate Solution
● Each member will complete an individual project evaluation/reflection and submit it to your
specific teacher. Ladue will submit via weebly and Clayton will submit via canvas.
● This section on the digital notebook will ultimately say “See individual group member
evaluations”
Consider the following prompts to help guide your reflection. Be sure to provide ​insightful ​comments.
There should be at least one paragraph reflecting on each topic below.

Topic 1​: Engineering Concepts Learned/Applied

● What is a Gantt chart and how can it be utilized for large projects? Was it beneficial for
this project? How so? If it was created and then never looked at again by you and your
teammates why? How could it have been beneficial?
● Describe why professionals will utilize a decision matrix to make important decisions?

Topic 2: ​Teamwork, Organization, Work ethic, Communication, Team Norms

● How did this project go for you overall? Did you and your partners work well together?
Why or why not?
● Did establishing team norms prior to beginning the actual work of the project help build
understanding of expectations for each other?
● What is at least one thing your group could have done better in this project?

Topic 3: ​Your Solution

● How does your design compare to the other groups? Do you see something that you
wish you would have added into your design?

Step 6: Present Solution

● Link to group presentation What is this ? Godly diagram
