 Group Project:
● You are a group of engineers from the production
line. Your company decides to produce a new
product. In order to speed up the product
development process, it was suggested in the
meeting that reverse engineering is adopted.
● Suggestion of component category:
– Motorcycle component, bicycle component,
machine component, automotive component
–
 The report:
● Each group of two members is required to prepare a report which
includes these items:
– Detail specifications regarding the components, material, dimensions, finishing,
heat treatment needed etc.
– Appropriate engineering drawing of the components
– Explanations on manufacturing processes that are required to produce the
component from the beginning to the end. Suggest 1 alternative process
suitable and the differences (advantages and disadvantages from the original
one). Provide a flow chart to illustrate the process sequence.
– Explanations on the machines and tools involve.
– Explanations on equipment and/or processes involve to determine product’s
quality.
– Minutes of every meetings and discussions, job distribution and gantt chart/
work plan.
– Report must be in A4 sized and properly bind submitted in the 13th week 31st
March 2011.
