objective, procedure, the results obtained and their discussion. As a minimum, include the following information: A. Project objective: Your motivation for choosing this project and its objective. B. How the model was created: Give a brief description of how your project is modeled using Pro/ENGINEER or any other CAD tools. C. Physical dimensions of the model: Provide the physical dimensions of the model D. Design goals description: Summarize the design goals of this project. E. Design requirements, constraints description: Summarize the design requirements and constrains of this project. F. Boundary conditions (loads and constraints) description: Describe the magnitude of loads, where they are applied, and the directions of the loads. Give similar details of the constraints. G. Summary of the results: Summarize your work. How the final design is obtained.

3. Table of Contents: Follow a standard textbook format for creating the Table of Contents. 4. List of Figures: Follow a standard textbook format for creating the List of Figures. 5. List of Tables: Follow a standard textbook format for creating the List of Tables. 6. Analysis and Results
Give a detailed description of all the simulation results (Mechanism or FEA) obtained. You should include fringe plots and/or graphs to illustrate your simulation results and explain your findings.

7. Other Design Candidates

Please include other design candidates that you have considered during this project and explain why (in terms of the goals and constraints that you have chosen) these candidates were not selected as the final design.

8. Engineering Drawings
Please also include engineering drawings for all the parts/components used in your final design.

Submitting Your Work

Please submit an electronic copy of your final project report together with all the assembly and part files created via Blackboard. Only one submission per group is needed. There will be an assignment created for this purpose. The deadline for submission is May 13 at 5:00pm.
