Assignment 2
Details
Design for X is a term used to describe a design methodology that is focused on a singular design attribute, X. Common examples include
usability, reliability, assembly and maintainability. A DfX methodology will typically provide
>. A set of guidelines for recommended design practices
?. Tools / approaches / methods to assist in the design process at various stages of the system life-cycle
C. Metrics to evaluate a design and/or constrain the functional analysis and allocation process.
In this group assignment you are to you are required to write a ~2000 word report that critically reviews a DfX methodology of your choosing.
The review is to address the 3 components detailed above. This is to be a general review – there is no requirement for it to be grounded in
your case study from assignment 1. DfX is covered in Weeks 9-11. If you so choose, you can base your review on one of the methodologies
covered in the lectures. However, you will need to augment the lecture content with additional source material. You will also need to structure
your review so that the 3 components detailed above are explicitly addressed.
Groups will be the same as for Assignment 1. It is the responsibility of each team to allocate and schedule work evenly and fairly within a
group. If issues arise that cannot be resolved internally, then contact your tutor and/or the unit coordinator as soon as possible. If the issue
cannot be resolved to everyone’s satisfaction, then the group may need to be restructured.
Assessment Criteria
The assessment criteria are as follows:
>. Introduction (2.5 marks)
?. Overview of the methodology (purpose, inputs, outputs, staging in the life cycle, supporting processes) (5 marks)
C. Discussion of
Tools/approaches/methods
Metrics
Guidelines (20 marks)
X. Conclusion (2.5 marks)
Y. Research skills (5 marks)
[. Layout and presentation (5 marks)
The weighting of the assignment is 20%. I expect that the report will consist of 4 sections corresponding to criteria 1-4, with section 3
containing 3 sub-sections. In terms of research skills that are being assessed, the primary skill is the synthesis of multiple sources into a
coherent and balanced story. In this regard, you will need to have multiple references, but no minimum number is specified. Also, all
references must be verifiable. If a reference is available online, the URL must be provided. For other references, unless it is the textbook,
scanned images of the relevant pages must be provided.
Submission
Submissions must be Word documents – no other file types will be accepted.
The cover page must include all the names, student ids and email addresses of all group members. The name of tutor and your tutorial
group must also be included.
There is to be only one submission per group.
