ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENTS - 30%

• Online cover up sessions for Practicals (12%)-: There will be dedicated online sessions for each
practical with video and interactive content to present the essential elements of the traditional practical.
At the end of all sessions, there will be an online Quiz covering all practicals. Any clarifications, please
contact the Practical coordinator.

• Reverse Engineering Group Project (18%):

▪ You are required to form into groups of five (5). A Moodle self grouping link will be set.
▪ This Reverse Engineering project will be continued to S4(ME2170) as well. It is advisable to refer to
the ME2170 module descriptor too when selecting the project title.
▪ Each group is required to select a product which meets the following criteria.
o The product should be an assembly with at least 5 components. This is excluding standard
components such as nuts, bolts, washers, bearings, etc.
o There must be at least one component from each of the following categories
• Metallic component
• Plastic / Rubber component
• Any other material (e.g. Wood or Fibreglass or any other)
▪ Those components should be of significant sizes to make measurements and should be able to
manufacture with simple manufacturing processes you learn in the class and by research.
▪ You may have to take the components to laboratories for testing of materials, and/or measuring
them. As there is no access to laboratories you may find alternative research methods to find the
material types and dimensions. You may also use the measuring equipment available at home to
make approximate measurements.
▪ Evaluation criteria (Group presentations):
▪ There will be two(2) group presentations.
1. Project proposal presentations: Scheduled - 13/09/2021 08:00 (6%)
o 5 minutes per group + 5 minutes of feedback
o Your title could be “Reverse Engineering of …………..”
o Only one member or few members can present. All must be present with video ON during the
presentation.
o Present the selected product, its functions and features (5 marks)
o Identify and present 5 different components you wish to analyse further as suggested above (5
marks)
o Present a plan to reverse engineer the selected components/entire product (10 marks)
o The idea would be to guide you to successfully complete the project.

2. Final presentations : Scheduled - 15/11/2021 08:00 (12%)

o Marking scheme is given below.
o Presentation time 10 minutes (for all 5 members)+ 05 minutes for Q&A.
o Front slide should include the list of members and their individual contributions.
o Each slide should include the author's name (the person responsible) in the header.

o All members of the group must present their section (it is advisable that one member presents
his/her contribution to the project so everyone gets a chance to present).
o Presenting group must keep their videos ON in Zoom.
o You may use same/similar headings in the marking scheme below to guide your presentation.

• A minimum of 35% of the continuous assessment marks is required to pass the module.

The marking scheme of the Group Project - Final Presentation Marks

A. Freehand sketches for measuring

Neatly done free-hand sketches of the product components, that were used to record the dimensions
05
during measurements, and assembly sketch used to record information about
assembling/dismantling the product.

B. Identification of materials
Description of standard or non-standard tests, methods, used to identify the material of each
existing component. You should explain the reason(s) for selecting a standard test/method or 15
planning a non-standard method (if you have used such). It is not required to identify the exact
material, but you must identify the material sub-class, under which the material is categorised.

C. Production drawings and assembly drawing of the existing product

Create 2D production drawings for the 5 components selected (as detailed in Section E). First angle
projection should be used for the projection views. Production drawings must be completed with all
15
dimensions, tolerances (if applicable), surface finish, material, and other technical information. You
may decide the number of assembly drawings depending on the complexity of the product. The
drawings could be done using the computer or manually.

D. Improvements & 3D model

Make some improvements to the product, mainly focusing on the selected 5 components. Limit the
improvements to the geometry, and material of the part, that affect the manufacturing process of the
part. Think in line with sustainable manufacturing. Other improvements such as automation, are not 15
relevant to this project. Create a 3D model for this modified product using any 3D modelling
software that you are familiar with. Indicate suitable views of those new designs in the presentation
(Colour pictures/animations).

E. Manufacturing processes to fabricate the current and/or modified product

1. Indicate the manufacturing methods with the sequence of manufacturing for each of
the 5 components you selected.
2. Out of the different machining processes you considered for (E.1), select at least one 50
process, and propose suitable machining tools and a work holding technique for
that.
