1 Technical Presentations Using Tables and Drawings Jeffrey Donnell MRDC August, 2010

2 Agenda How to organize the talk The deliverables we need to see How to use and display graphics: Specification lists Function trees Morph Charts Concept drawings Evaluation Tables Warnings about slide design Plagiarism J. Donnell / ME 2110,

3 For Water Heater Presentations Display Planning or analysis tools House of Quality Function Tree, Morph Chart, Specifications Designs Speak Identify and describe drawings Identify and describe planning tools J. Donnell / ME 2110,

4 Before and After the Talk Face the audience Remove your cap Introduce yourself and your team End the talk with this statement: Thank you. I ll be happy to answer questions. J. Donnell / ME 2110,

5 Guidelines for Presenting Images Describe and explain the diagrams and charts that you display on the screen Use a pointer to highlight the things you talk about Use specific, descriptive words to name your concepts, their subsystems and their components Avoid Photographs J. Donnell / ME 2110,

6 Questions to Address During the Talk For Systems or Subsystems What makes [this] good or bad? What should we remember about this design? For House of Quality What relationships are important? What do relationships mean to you as designers? How do relationships impact your design work? J. Donnell / ME 2110,

7 Displaying Figures and Tables on slides Choose light backgrounds Make displays fill the screen Show descriptive slide title OR figure caption You must describe your figures and tables to the audience: What is it? Why is it presented? What should the audience see? Some tools need reformatting for screen display J. Donnell / ME 2110,

8 Specifications (for CD Mover) Slide Titles can be compressed to make room for displays D = Demand Specification W = Wish Issued: Focus on Your Input! For: CD Rom Moving Device Page 1 Changes D/W Requirements Resp. Source Move CD Rom to target. Geometry D Fit within 24x12x12 inch area Instructor Kinematics W Quick acceleration Mfg. Engineer W Straight line " W Smooth acceleration " Forces D Operates with mouse traps Instructor D Gravity " Spec sheet is cropped to allow for larger fonts J. Donnell / ME 2110,

9 Slide Title Function Tree (for CD Mover) Retrieve CD and Place on Target Activate System Move To CD Stop At CD Manipulate CD Defend Result Rows align for ease of reading End Forward Motion Anchor Capture Device Capture CD Deliver CD Protect Our CD Move Their CD Use one noun and one verb per box J. Donnell / ME 2110,

10 Morph Chart (for CD Mover) Row heads from Function Tree Simple diagrams Generate Power Mouse Trap Gravity Transmit Power Trap turns axle Car hit by trap Ramp Projectile / Catapult Move to CD / Target Rolling Sliding Projectile Move / Pick-up CD Suction Tape covered platform Trap hits disc Catch line Brake on CD / Target Anchored String aroung axle Rubber stopper deployed Two or three words per cell J. Donnell / ME 2110,

11 Conveyor Concept (for Fear Factor) Grabbing Arm Conveyor Belt Descriptive Title is shown on the slide Claw arm Wheels This Drawing: Fills the slide Has labels Shows complete system J. Donnell / ME 2110,

12 A concept diagram for a laser pointer from IEEE Spectrum [1] Speaking Text: Intracavity doubling in Mitsubishi s laser TV begins when an 808- nanometer diode laser pumps a neodymium-doped yttrium vanadate crystal. The crystal emits light at 1064 nm, and then the frequency is doubled (and the wavelength halved) in either a magnesium oxide or lithium niobate cavity, yielding an output of 532 nm. [1] J. Donnell / ME 2110,

13 A more detailed laser pointer diagram from IEEE Spectrum [1] J. Donnell / ME 2110,

14 Evaluation Matrix (for Baggage Claim) Fonts around 20 pt. CONCEPT CRITERIA Drive Distance Size Speed Low Cost Ease of Operation Ease of Production Ease of Reset Functional Safety Total Relative= Total/ Concepts identified by name, by drawing or both Highlight scores that make a difference J. Donnell / ME 2110,

15 Focus, color and information Important information must visually dominate any figure or table When possible, important information should be clustered and centered Color is best reserved to highlight important information Light colors often give you the greatest flexibility J. Donnell / ME 2110,

16 Clustered information permits focus D = Demand Specification W = Wish Issued: For: CD Rom Moving Device Page 1 Changes D/W Requirements Resp. Source Move CD Rom to target. Geometry D Fit within 24x12x12 inch area Instructor Kinematics W Quick acceleration Mfg. Engineer W Straight line " W Smooth acceleration " Forces D Operates with mouse traps Instructor D Gravity " J. Donnell / ME 2110,

17 Motion, Sound and information Motion should highlight important information Animated concept drawings are very helpful Animated Text Is Not Helpful Sound is best avoided Unless the sound IS the information J. Donnell / ME 2110,

18 Photographs are not good enough Pneumatics for whacking arms Sliders for mobility Mousetraps Gravitydeployed ramp J. Donnell / ME 2110,

19 Light is hard to control J. Donnell / ME 2110,

20 You control the light in drawings Return motor/spindle subsystem Primary release solenoid Drawer slider arms Cross support/diversion arm mounting bracket Diversion arm Weight for arms Control box Rat-whacking arm/mousetrap subsystem Diversion arm launch mousetrap Bug chute J. Donnell / ME 2110,

21 Honesty and Plagiarism

22 From a previous project: Did the student team members take these photographs? J. Donnell / ME 2110,

23 Authorship and Ownership Documents and images are Created by people Owned by people or companies ll/02manning.html?hp You must acknowledge both author and owner

24 From the GT Student Code of Conduct Plagiarism: Submission of material that is wholly or substantially identical to that created or published by another person or persons, without adequate credit notations indicating the authorship. J. Donnell / ME 2110,

25 In practical terms: You must give credit, with documentation, when you use others : Words Drawings / diagrams Photographs Calculations J. Donnell / ME 2110,

26 Unintended Plagiarism Without Acknowledgment: Explaining your designs with photos from the Web. Copying an explanation from the Web and using it in your work. Obtaining a material property from the Web and using it in your work. J. Donnell / ME 2110,

27 Acknowledging Sources 1. Cite the source in your text 2. Create a reference entry, showing: Author name(s) Title of the document Place and type of publication Publisher name Date of publication Page number(s) J. Donnell / ME 2110,

28 Appropriate use of Source--I You looked up the density of Aluminum for your ME 3057 lab report, then wrote this: I ' ' mglsin( ) 0 The density of aluminum T6101, ρ is g/mm3 [1]. If sin(θ) is sufficiently small.. Citation Reference [1] J. M. Gere, Mechanics of Materials, 5th ed., Pacific Grove California: Brooks/Cole, 2001, p J. Donnell / ME 2110, 2010 Reference 28

29 Appropriate use of Source--II Figure 1 displays the major veins of a normal human leg. The Image you obtained The Citation that shows you got it somewhere else Your Caption Figure 1. The veins of a normal leg [1] J. Donnell / ME 2110,
