** TASK ANALYSIS ** (WORD PROCESS THIS SECTION) Problem Describe what the problem is which you are aiming to tackle. DO NOT DESCRIBE WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE OR WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE Need Describe what the need is in the current market related to your product. Brief Say what you intend to design and make to, meet the needs of the current market. Give some detail but nothing too specific. Target Market Describe who your target market is; age, gender etc. ** PAGE 2,3,4,5 ** ** RESEARCH ** Ø Research 3-4 existing products on the market using; magazine clippings, newspapers, internet research, catalogues etc. Ø Research at least one image of a PCB relating to the product which you want to achieve and one circuit diagram which would be appropriate for your product. Ø ** 6 images in total ** Ø Produce a questionnaire for people to fill out and record the results. ** PAGE 6,7 ** ** EVALUATION OF RESEARCH ** (WORD PROCESS THIS SECTION) Use charts and graphs to evaluate your questionnaires and other information collected. Produce an overall evaluation of your research stating common factors within the products etc. ** PAGE 8 ** ** SPECIFICATION ** (WORD PROCESS THIS SECTION) Write your specification which constantly relates to your NEEDS and your RESEARCH. Use headers to separate each section. Ø Purpose Ø User requirements Ø Performance requirements Ø Materials, components and size Ø Scale of production and cost Ø Target market ** PAGE 9,10 ** ** POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS ** Sketch and annotate 3-4 possible ideas for the casing of your final product. **The annotations must include, materials, sizes and manufacturing processes.** ** PAGE 11-12 ** ** FINAL SOLUTION ** Accurately draw your final solution in both ISOMETRIC and 3rd ANGLE ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION. ** PAGE 13 ** ** COMPONENT RESEARCH ** Research all of the components which you will be using to produce your circuit. e.g switches, LED’s resistors. ** PAGE 14,15 ** ** CIRCUIT SOLUTIONS ** Produce at least 4 possible circuit designs which would be appropriate for your final idea. Range from basic circuits to more advanced. E.g. if you are making a dice game then start with a basic 555 timer circuit and then develop through to a PicAxe circuit. ** Make sure you review your ideas against your specification. ** ** PAGE 16,17,18,19,20 ** ** CIRCUIT DEVELOPMENT ** Ø Using breadboards prototype and test your circuit to ensure that the circuit will work. Ø Convert your circuit diagram from Crocodile Clips to Real PCB (make a screen shot of the image) Ø Develop the board layout to fit with no fly wires. Ø Include images of final board (solder side up) once the project is finished. ** PAGE 21 ** ** TIME PLAN ** (WORD PROCESS THIS SECTION) Using a Gant chart plan out the making process for your product. You must have detailed steps to which you will work from. (Roughly 12-13 weeks) These steps must include materials and processes. ** PAGE 22 ** ** TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT ** (WORD PROCESS THIS SECTION) Using a chart list the tools and equipment which you will use to produce each part e.g PCB or CASE. Include a column for PERSONAL SAFETY and a section for the SAFETY OF OTHERS. ** PAGE 23 ** ** SYSTEMS AND CONTROL ** (WORD PROCESS THIS SECTION) Taking one industrial process, e.g. Photo etching, vacuum forming etc. Produce a flow chart showing the process required. You must include an **input, process and output** and also where the **quality checks** are taken place. ** PAGE 24 ** ** TESTS AND CHECKS ** (WORD PROCESS THIS SECTION) Perform at least 2 checks on your product and write about it, e.g. if you are making a dice, test how random the number sequence is (using a tally). ** PAGE 25 ** ** EVALUATE PRODUCT ** (WORD PROCESS THIS SECTION) Ø Evaluate your product, relating it to your specification. Ø Also use external feedback, e.g. questionnaire to a friend, or have people try your product and tell you what they think. ** PAGE 26 ** ** MODIFICATIONS ** (WORD PROCESS THIS SECTION) If you were to make this prototype again, what would you change?
 * PAGE 1 **
 * // DO NOT SAY EXACTLY WHAT PRODUCT YOU WILL BE MAKEING, BE GENERIC //**
 * // ANNOTATE ALL OF YOUR IMAGES //**
 * // WRITE IN BULLET POINTS //**
 * // REMEMBER THE PRODUCT MUST HAVE A QUALITY FINISH BOTH INSIDE AND OUT //**
 * // ALL DESIGNS MUST INCLUDE MEASUREMENTS IN MILLIMETRES //**
 * You must include an image of your final idea on Crocodile Clips. **
 * // NOT ALL SIMULATIONS ON THE COMPUTER WILL WORK IN REALITY. IT IS EASIER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM HERE THEN ONCE THE PCB HAS BEEN MADE. //**
 * THESE POINTS MUST RELATE TO POINTS IN YOUR SPECIFICATION **
 * // THESE CHANGES MUST RELATE TO YOUR EVALUATION //**
