3. Introduction
The Engineering Project itself is a capstone project that encourages a holistic
approach to managing the technical and managerial aspects of a project,
utilising the multiple technologies and topics you have learnt. It provides you
with the opportunity to demonstrate your learning to internal and external
stakeholders, and, develop skills relevant to the industry and your future
employment. It will also provide you an opportunity to integrate and further
develop a range of technical and generic skills acquired in courses completed in
the program. You will also undertake several activities in this course to
enhance your communication and project management skills bearing in mind
the effects of latest technology trends, changing government policies in
industrial education and training and in manufacturing, to reflect such future
trends.
4. Course Aims
The main aim of this course is to simulate a real engineering environment
and provide you with Work Integrated Learning. This course is project
based and requires you to demonstrate technical skills, professional
capabilities and personal attributes at levels which are commensurate
with paraprofessional engineering practice as defined by organisations
such as Engineers Australia. It is also designed to develop and enhance
critical managerial skills such as forward planning, developing clear
objectives, managing risks using risk assessment tool such as a Risk
Matrix, report writing, and meeting timeframes and deadlines.
The project work in this course is equivalent to a two-month full-time task
that a new graduate may be expected to undertake shortly after starting
work as an engineering officer.
You will receive supervision from your teacher and may also have a
mentor. Your mentor could be an academic staff member, an industry
representative or/and a student completing a bachelor’s Degree program
in a similar discipline.
You are expected to perform your project work in a group to enhance
team work with a maximum of three persons in a group. Your group will
rotate the roles of each team member over the duration of the course, and
evidence will have to be provided in your written assignments. (Required
assessment criteria.)
You will strive to work with minimal guidance from your supervisor
and/or mentor. This project will need to be presented to a judging panel
in the final weeks of the semester.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
5. Learning Outcomes:
After completion of this course you are expected to achieve the following
learning outcomes:
 Ability to apply knowledge of basic science and engineering
fundamentals
 In-depth technical competence in at least one engineering discipline
 Ability to undertake problem identification, formulation and solution
 Ability to utilise a systems approach to design and operational
performance
 Ability to engage in design and execute designs to an appropriate
professional standard
 Ability to use appropriate manufacturing processes, techniques and
resources
 Ability to manage information and documentation
 Capacity for creativity and innovation
The course will also contribute significantly to the development of your

capabilities as follows:
 Ability to communicate effectively, not only with engineers but also

with the community at large
 Ability to function effectively as an individual and in multi-
disciplinary and multi-cultural teams, with the capacity to be a leader
or manager as well as an effective team member
 Understanding of the social, cultural, global and environmental
responsibilities of the professional engineer, and the principles of
sustainable design and development
 Understanding of and commitment to professional and ethical
responsibilities
 Expectation and capacity to undertake lifelong learning
 Ability to demonstrate professional attitudes
With regard to technically specific learning outcomes, you will be able to:
 Develop a surface/solid model using SolidWorks.
 Develop virtual wind tunnel model for fluid flow analysis (FEA)
 Run a stress and deflection analysis on the axle
 Develop CNC code or 3D printing data from 3D CAD model
 Operate CNC machine or a 3D Rapid prototyping machine to
manufacture the body

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
6. Project Based Learning

Project Based Learning is centred on learning that emanates from a real
engineering project where the processes of learning (i.e. the planning and
time management aspects) are as important as, and aligned closely with,
the product of the learning (i.e. the end point or solution to the project).
In Project Based Learning, you will spend much of your time learning by:
 Identifying: Determining what you need to know
 Researching: Finding out what you need to know from the
library, Internet, colleagues, peers, etc
 Teaching: Teaching yourself and each other - and then
 Applying: Applying your new knowledge, and the knowledge you
have developed from previous courses
The primary aim of the exercise is learning, not only the completion of the
project on time – the project is the means to this end.
Project Based Learning encourages independent and interdependent
learning and a deeper understanding of the material rather than
superficial coverage. It will give you practice in tackling engineering
problems and defining your own gaps in understanding in the context of
those problems, the depth of your knowledge and your ability to
undertake unfamiliar challenges.
7. Project Outcomes
After the completion of this project work, you will be able to achieve the
following outcomes:
 Ability to employ knowledge learned in other technical courses in the
design and implementation of an engineering project
 Ability to solve engineering problems utilising sound engineering
methodologies safely with correct criteria for selecting it such as
different software, libraries, catalogues, etc.
 Development of intellectual resourcefulness and investigative skills
 Identify sustainability issues related to the manufacture of the models
 Development of skills in communicating with others both in writing
and verbally
 Appreciation of the range of activities required to initiate, plan and
execute a project
 Review features, functions and context of modelling including
imminent and future developments
 Development of project and time management skills
 The undertaking of a technical design project in a coherent and logical
manner culminating in project sign off
 Writing a project report in a fluent and coherent style
 Presentation of a technical project in a fluent and compelling way
 Development of teamwork skills

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
8. Mentoring
Mentoring allows for interaction on an advisory basis (for example, teacher-
student), by having someone that encourages and assists in the learning
process. An effective mentor optimises and develops the project group whilst
also encouraging the integration of individual contributions within the group
environment. You can learn from a mentor’s expertise and experience. Your
mentor could be an academic staff member, an industry representative and/or a
student completing a Bachelor Degree program in a similar discipline.
Guest speakers may also be invited from the relevant industry and/or relevant
discipline from the Higher Education School. You will therefore benefit also
from the information delivered by the guest Speaker(s) to complete your
project. The mentoring and support mechanism is illustrated below:

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
9. Reflective Journal
The purpose of a reflective journal is to record your project related activities to
keep on track. Your journal should be a reflective document that provides a
personal analysis of your individual participation/progress in the group project
and your assessment of the group interactions that have occurred during the
week.
Throughout the project, you will submit the Journal under the ASSESSMENTS
section of CANVAS, and report to your Project Supervisor weekly to report on
progress, raise issues and ask questions to ensure successful completion of your
project.
Dot points and actions from your weekly team meeting should be recorded. If
unavoidable circumstances prevent an individual in the group from attending
the weekly meeting, that individual must submit a written copy for each session
missed to ensure his/her team contribution and accountability is upheld.
In your weekly Journal report to your supervisor, you will discuss and report
on actions taken from previous meetings.
At the end of the semester, you will submit your aggregated journal that
comprises all weekly journal entries and actions recorded during the semester.
Your complete journal will be assessed and graded along with your overall
participation and team work.
Please note that a failure to complete weekly journal entries will result in a
loss of marks. The recorded grade will be Not Yet Satisfactory (NYS) and this
could lead to the final grade being Not Yet Competent (NYC).

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
12. Project Summary
12.1 The Challenge
Formula 1 (F1) in RMIT Engineering Schools is a multi-disciplinary

challenge in which teams of students deploy CAD/CAM software to
collaborate, design, analyse, manufacture, test, and then race miniature
gas powered F1 cars. The challenge inspires you to learn about physics,
aerodynamics, design, project management, manufacture, branding,
graphics, leadership/teamwork, media skills and financial strategy, and
apply them in a practical, imaginative, competitive and exciting way.
School of Vocational Engineering, Health and Sciences (SVEHS) at RMIT
University is participating in the F1 technology challenge, and your
Engineering Project will undertake this challenge, allowing you the
opportunity to develop your management, design and analytical skills
while working safely and sustainably.
The use of such tools is currently employed across many engineering
fields. The purpose of taking part in this challenge is to ensure that
students completing this design project have a skill set that is valid and
desirable in the mechanical engineering industry.
12.2 Participation in Challenge
You will be undertaking design using industry standard modelling and

manufacturing tools including CAD/CAM, CNC machining and Virtual
Prototyping. Students employing these will be able to design, test,
analyse, compare with older methods, and manufacture their own
creations using the very latest technology.
You will work in a team of 3 students with rotating roles, unless
otherwise informed, to complete this project. The F1 car challenge is to
develop a miniature F1 model and conduct performance testing of your
design. It must adhere to competition requirements that are available in
the Appendix (section 18) and be capable of testing within the RMIT
laboratory environment. Discuss with your mentor/supervisor if you
need external help or professional service/assistance.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
12.3 Design Requirements

Note: Competition Regulations are included in the Appendix (Section 18).
 To be created in Solidworks using typical components, assemblies,

and layouts
 All design specifications must meet the race car criteria, and refer to
the F1 university general regulations
 The completed F1 model must run on the testing track within the
RMIT laboratory space and accelerate to 100 km/hr before reaching
the end of the 20 Metre track. The time taken would generally be
under a second mark.
12.3.1 Race Car Body

The race car body is to be either prototyped using a 3D printer or
machined in CNC workshops at RMIT with the profile generated
in SolidWorks.
12.3.2 Cost
Cost is a major consideration in any project.
To minimise cost, carefully design the car in SolidWorks and all
the modifications should be tested using virtual prototype models
to reduce the number of physical prototype. You must not move
to manufacture without the approval of your supervisor.
12.3.3 Software Analysis

The design outcomes will be checked using SolidWorks
modelling and analysis software, therefore, you are encouraged to
use SolidWorks analysis software. You are to use Autodesk Flow
or CFD software for comparative analysis purposes. Instruction
on the use of the analysis software will generally be left to the
student. Use of YouTube and other sources of tutorials is highly
encouraged. Some assistance with the analysis will be given
during the course activities. Printouts (or screen dumps) of the
FEA (aerodynamics, stress, Deflections, etc) analysis are to be
included in the report.
12.3.4 Your Tasks

1. Design of the Race Car
2. Manufacture of the Race Car
3. Assembly of the Race car
4. Performance testing and competition
NOTE: Evidence of compliance with design regulations and OH&S
regulations MUST be provided with every step of TASKS 12.3.4
Note: Competition Regulations are included in the Appendix (Section 18).
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
12.3.5 Task 1 – Structural Design of the Race Car (Start of Product

Life Cycle Management)
Your first task will be the design of the race car. This will be
completed in a virtual environment. Task 1 will include:
 Create a body profile from wire frame and expand to a
surface/solid model
 Create front and rear wing profiles from wire frame and
develop surface/solid model
 Create assembly of front and rear wings
 Calculate mass and overall dimensions
 Complete stress analysis of axle and modify if required.
 Complete flow analysis to check for Lift and drag coefficients
 Modify rear wing of the car body to achieve low lift
coefficients
 Review with your supervisor and make changes if required
 Create photo works assembly configurations
 Create realistic colour schemes to complement engineering
materials
 Render car assembly
12.3.6 Task 2 – Manufacture of the Race Car

You are required to address the manufacturing issues and its
environmental impact, if any.
 Transfer CAD modelling data to 3D printing or CNC
machining
 Generate CNC code or modify 3D printing data for the race
car body
 Carefully machine or 3D print the body components and
finish
 Machine the axle component, if required.
 Safe disposal of excess material / swarf, as per legislation.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
12.3.7 Task 3 – Assembly and trial run of the Race Car

The Race Car must be assembled and pass initial tests to ensure it
will operate correctly, viz:
 Assemble axle, wheel, wings, CO2 cartridge and body
 Conduct a trial run
12.3.8 Task 4 – Performance Testing and Competition

Final performance testing and competition will demonstrate the
quality of your design and the manufacturing processes. Vehicles
will then be tested and competed against all other models
produced by students enrolled in the C6130 program.
13. Phases of the Project

Each project should be divided into phases. The following table provides
an overview of the different phases of the project as it would be
accomplished in industry. You are encouraged to follow steps to complete
these phases as they may be of assistance in the layout of your report.
Please note that as your project on this occasion does not require direct
industry sponsorship, and since you will not be liaising directly with
industry, you need to regard your supervisor as your industry client
(particularly at the Initial Design phase where you must ensure clear
project definition management is achieved).

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Phase Detail
1. Initial design The requirements of the client and the scope
of the design brief are discussed with the
client and are analysed
Initial design must include:

 Goals are identified
 Data exploration
 Concept generation - mapping,
brainstorming and developing design
concepts
 Best design concept is identified and
agreed
 Data analysis and project formulation
2. Initial design review During the design review you will discuss
with your supervisor and seek guidance
for further design and development stages
3. Design for manufacture Development for manufacture will include:
 Create 2D sketches
 Develop 3D CAD models using
SolidWorks
 Process design and development
 Product validation
 Develop testing plan
4. Component manufacture Component manufacture will include the
following:
 Develop code for CNC machining or

3D printing
 Machining/3D printing process
 Quality assurance
5. Design assembly Design assembly must be completed ensuring
quality of the final product

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Phase Detail
6. Design testing Testing will be completed to validate the
design. This will include both initial testing
to check the quality of manufacture, and
competition testing between all completed
designs
During this stage the testing plan developed

previously will be employed and you will
reflect on the use of this process
14. Occupational Health & Safety

You will be working with components that if dealt with unsafely may be
dangerous. It is accepted that students have fair warning and are
responsible for their own actions.
A Risk Analysis will be carried out at the beginning of the course to
ascertain the risks and dangers associated with tasks and how to best
control or eliminate them.
You will be provided safety instructions by the Technical Officer, and an
OH&S waiver must be signed before you commence your build phase.
Permission to use the workshop will be retracted from those who fail to
use the equipment in a safe and responsible manner.
Training in the correct use of the workshop equipment will be provided,
however the Technical Officer should be contacted for additional
assistance or instructions if required.
15. Material Requirements

You are not expected to purchase materials in order to complete the technical
component of your project as these will be provided by the School.
16. Assessment
16.1 Overview of Assessment
The assessment for the Engineering Project recognises and rewards good
professional practice such as appropriate interpersonal communication,
punctuality and demonstration of appropriate written and oral
communication skills. You are expected to act in a professional manner in
your dealings with staff and other students, and your presented work is
expected to be of a professional standard.
As stated throughout, and particularly in Sections 1 – 5, your assessment
takes both the technical success of your project (process and product) and
the managerial aspects of excellent engineering project delivery into
account.

RMIT uses an online service called Turnitin to help educate you about
academic integrity in your writing through the detection of plagiarism, so
make sure you understand and avoid plagiarism at all costs.
Plagiarism is defined by RMIT as “the presentation of the work, idea or
creation of another person as though it is your own. It is a form of
cheating and is a very serious academic offence that may lead to
expulsion from the University. Plagiarised material can be drawn from,
and presented in, written, graphic and visual form, including electronic
data, and oral presentations. Plagiarism occurs when the origin of the
material used is not appropriately cited.
Examples of plagiarism include:
 Copying sentences or paragraphs word for word from one or more
sources, whether published or unpublished, which could include
but is not limited to books, journals, reports, theses, websites,
conference papers, course notes, etc without proper citation
 Closely paraphrasing sentences, paragraphs, ideas or themes
without proper citation

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 Piecing together text from one or more sources and adding only
linking sentences
 Copying or submitting whole or parts of computer files without
acknowledging their source
 Copying designs or works of art and submitting them as your

original work
 Copying a whole or any part of another student’s work
 Submitting work as your own that someone else has done for
you.”

For%20Staff%2FPlagiarism/
Turnitin is an online service that will compare your report to the internet
and to a large database of reports written by other students. Papers in the
database may also be checked now and in the future for the purposes of
both detecting plagiarism and detecting the enabling of plagiarism. You
can find more information about accessing Turnitin at the following
websites:
http://www.rmit.edu.au/academicintegrity/studentprocedures
http://www.rmit.edu.au/browse;ID=kkc202lwe1yv
In line with this important RMIT plagiarism policy, your Final Project
Report should be submitted to Turnitin by the due date as a Word
document and include a scanned statement of authorship. Submit your
document as:
MEM14061A _yourstudentnumber_ yourfullname
You must also provide an electronic copy of your Final Project Report
(Microsoft Word document or other format as agreed by your supervisor)
and three printed copies of your Final Project Report to your supervisor
