EMT07L – Emerging Technologies 3 1

Engineering Project 1 – Codebreaker 2

Request for Proposal (RFP): Sponsor Overview

Your group is part of a secret intelligence agency (the Malayan Intelligence of Black-MIB) who’s headed by CEO James Black,
is responsible for designing security systems that keeps valuable assets contained. There is always the potential someone
will try to attack your system in the hopes of stealing some of your assets. As a result, CEO Black asks the Cybersecurity
Team, your group, to develop a security system that is capable of both protecting assets and deciphering the code of those
trying to attack your system.

Requirements
1. 1 Codebreaker Prototype (with at least 2 motors and 5 sensors attached)
2. 3 set of Codebreaker Testbed Programs:
a) Basic Level (Maximum of 15 lines)
b) Intermediate Level (Maximum of 25 lines)
c) Advanced Level (Maximum of 35 lines)

Week 4-To Borrow:

Activity No: Lab 2 Materials:
Title: Codebreaker 2 2 set Laptops w/ charger and mouse
1 pc Extension

Week 4-Deliverables: Ideation Phase

The group must be able to do the following:
1. A kickoff meeting to brainstorm ideas and make sure that the project manager (PM1) will distribute the tasks to
each members equally.
2. Create your sketch for your prototype
3. Written Proposal, Gantt and KWL Chart
4. Codebreaker SNAPCAD Model* (refer to the AVAILABLE PARTS LIST, do not use other parts in SNAPCAD that’s not
on the list)
5. A slide presentation about your company, similar to what you did last term.

*Give the complete Parts List to your instructor on or before March 21, NO PARTS LIST means NO PERFORMANCE TASK
next week.

WEEK 5-TO BORROW:

Activity No: Lab 3 Materials:
Title: Codebreaker 2 1 set Codebreaker Group #
2 set Laptops w/ charger and mouse
1 pc Extension

Week 5-Deliverables: Building Phase

The group must be able to do the following:
1. PM1: Ensure your plan is being followed on time.
2. LM: Borrow/return the materials needed.
3. OM: Build the final prototype based on your design. Inform the PM2 about the design of your robot so that
he/she would know the parts you will use for her security programming.
4. PM2: Create the 3 set of codebreaker testbed programs. Note for color sensor, limit the color name to red or red
violet only.

TIME LIMIT: 1 ½ hr
After the Building Phase, it’s now time for the other groups to test your program. We will give them a total of 5 minutes to
try decoding your security program. If they are successful, your group will get 5pts deduction while they will get additional
points (basic 2pts, intermediate 3 pts, advanced 5 pts)

A REVIEW:

Request for Proposal (RFP)

A Request for Proposal is an invitation to enterprising organizations or individuals to help a client solve a problem.

Sponsor Overview
Is the background of the client who are inviting organizations or individuals to solve their problem. There are the one who
are requesting for an RFP.

Key Questions
Whenever you are planning to conduct research, it is always a good idea to start with some guided questions. The RFP
provides the topic for the research. In the sample RFP, it is the inspection of bridges. When you read an RFP, it will likely
provide you with answers to most of the following questions:
o Who?
o What?
o Where?
o When?
o Why?
o How?
o Which

When you know the answers to these questions, you can write that information into the KWL chart. It belongs in the first
column because that is where you write what you already know.

In the second column, you will list what you want to know about the topic. These are your lines of inquiry, or in other words,
the questions that will drive your research. If you are uncertain, ask your teacher to model how to generate lines of inquiry
using the sample RFP. You might ask why bridges need to be inspected, or how bridges are inspected.

You should then generate some ideas for where to find those answers. That information will go in the third column of the
KWL chart.

The fourth column is where you write the useful information that you find.

The second page of the Research Notes reviews keyword searching. It has tips for finding the information that you want,
and a way to keep track of what you have already searched for.

A KWL chart will help you to organize the information. Before you begin your research, list details from the RFP in the first
column. Then, list the questions that you have about the problem in the second column. Fill out the third column to guide
where to look during your research. After some research, fill out the last column.

Gantt Chart
The Gantt chart provides a graphical illustration of a schedule that helps to keep track of progress on specific tasks in a
project. Simple versions of Gantt charts may be created on graph paper and more complex versions may be created using
project management applications such as Microsoft Project or Excel.

Written Proposal
It is the proposed solution of an organization or individual who wishes to solve the problem being asked by the Sponsor, it
simply answers the RFP.

The Written Proposal should be a professional-quality written submission including the following information:
 Company introduction, including names and background of all team members
 Description of team member responsibilities
 List of materials needed to complete the project
 Evaluation of the benefits of using robots for inspecting bridges; may include a list of material and cost savings as
well as direct impacts to worker health and safety
 Clear description of methods or technologies that you will use to create the solution.
