Sustainable design and component recycling plan for scrapping In our team’s project, the topic of sustainability is not only a paper mention, but also a commitment. By reflecting on our design process and the recycling plan after the use of the experimental vehicle, we firmly believe that our experimental plan will make a positive contribution

An estimate the billable time that went into the development of your mouse and the website. The average salary for an undergraduate engineer is currently £22,543 per year. Assuming the average working week is 37.5 hours we can then calculate the average hourly rate to be £11.56. Next, we need to calculate the total number

During the vacation, I optimized multiple components based on the original design of the casing and improved some dimensions to fit the size of our group’s small car. After returning from vacation, I submitted my design proposal to the 3D printing department for printing, and finally successfully obtained the finished shell I designed. Afterwards, due
Throughout April I was focused on getting everything finalised and working, making sure that all the different modes were coded properly and working. Having just got the shell back we had to ensure that the screen would fit inside the designated space, it didn’t quite fit which I had to sand down the edges to

This month, with the improvement of the PCB board, I was asked to design the outer shell of the car. Due to lack of relevant design experience, I collected teaching videos about Solidworks online to further understand the use of this software. Due to my initial use, I spent a lot of time designing the
This month I worked on white line sensors. This sensor is important to make the micro mouse follow the white line and avoid the black line. We worked on more than one design. In addition, we decided to first make four white line sensors on two pieces of the board, each board containing two white

This month, I modified our PCB board according to the experimental progress and printed the actual board through the machine. Due to the large number of components, I spent a lot of time soldering electrical components. Due to my limited welding experience, I used multiple wrong components. With the help of my teaching assistant, I
