Class 10:

Teams 6-10Class 11:

Teams 1-5

13 marks

3: team10:

individual

Present your team's description of the WindRider and how

your component (that you have been researching) fits andcontributes to the safety, stability, control or propulsion of

the WindRider

Your Handout: Visual summary of the science behind the

your WindRider component and the Team-Integrators

drawing or Autocad-ed fully-integrated WindRider

Visuals:

There is no limit on the number of visuals, but remember:

you, the presenters are the most important visuals! And,

dare to be different!

Presentation purpose:To present your team's WindRider feature component description and its integration into the

entire WindRider design project to your classmates, your instructor, any guests, and any otherinterested parties. Your audience members might be able to give you feedback on yourdescriptions, which may perhaps help you to fine-tune your final technical report.

Length: 20 min. maximum(4 minutes per presenter, not including the introduction andconclusion)

Submission details:Submit, before you present

1. a hard copy (3 slides per page handout form) of your presentation slides2. a hard copy of your teams handout

3. a soft copy of your presentation slides (submit to the cuLearn Assignments Folder)4. a soft copy of your teams handout (submit to the cuLearn Assignments Folder)

Submit, in your presentation folder, in Class 11 or Class 12 (one week after your presentation) :

All presentation feedback received from audience members + instructor

Completed Form 4 (one per team member)

REPORT BODY

Sec. 1: Introduction (p.1)TEAM WRITTENTo be drafted in class 9

Document purpose

Context

Document overview/roadmap (Include a reference to yourglossary, and how terms defined in the glossary are

denoted throughout your report.)Sec. 2: Feature overviewTEAM WRITTENTo be drafted in Class 9

Overview of the Component feature your team is reporting on,including its role and a component-specific diagram of thefeature.

Sec 3: Fully integrated WindRiderAll the vehicles components areintegrated into one WindRiderTEAM DISCUSSED & WRITTENThis should begin prior to class 9

Each component-teams designated integrator member mustcontribute to this section. This section will include 2 elements:1. A fully integrated WindRider Diagram that includes all

the vehicles components integrated into one WindRiderDesign Vehicle

2. A Written portion which should be no more than 1,000words. But, if you feel you need more than 1,000 words,consult with instructor or peer mentor, as describedbelow.

Together, the team of integrators will piece the entire

WindRider puzzle together based on the assembly of thecomponents that each integrator has worked on. Thechallenge for this team of Integrators is to summarize in onevisual diagram and in one written description how eachcomponent will be added to the frame. So, begin with theframe and describe in very plain language:

a) the sequence in which each component will be assembledb) how each component impacts on each of the others when

a. the vehicle is stationaryb. the vehicle is accelerating in

i. no-windii. constant wind

1. tail-wind2. head-wind3. oblique (45degree) wind

iii. gusty wind (describe this one ingeneral terms of what options theRider has in terms of sail angle, sailsize and control systems)

c) & d) will be discussed in class and should ideallyinvolve all class-mates

c) the speed of the vehicle attained after pedalling from a

standstill and time zero to 60seconds later withoutbreaking a sweat and with the help of an ideal constantwind of 10km/hr at the perfect angle to the sail (specifywhat you believe to be the ideal angle)

d) the time required and the component adjustmentsrequired to slow the Windrider down to a full stop from asimilar scenario as above where the WindRider hasattained a speed of 30 km/hr? (Please consider: How do

the brakes apply? How does the suspension react?Should the sail change its angle or collapse to a conditionof zero surface available to the wind?; Also show theequations and your calculations that reference a particularengineering principle supported by the usual IEEE-formatted supporting reference.

This Section will require verbal discussions between teamintegrators who may need to consult with their originalcomponent-team members. Following discussions, this teamof Integrators will be responsible for writing this section, butwill not need to contribute to the Component Feature Section 4

Sec. 4: Feature descriptionINDIVIDUALLY WRITTENDraft one due in class 9 (TBC*)

Each team member must contribute to this section. Eachteam members section should be no more than 1,000 words.But, if you feel you need more than 1,000 words, consult withinstructor.Indicate the name of the author of each sub-section.

Your contribution will consist of the explanation of thecomponent of the WindRideryour team has researched.Use the principles you are responsible for to explain yourcomponent. You can use the content in your Mini-report

Sec. 5: ConclusionTEAM WRITTENTo be drafted in class 9

A statement expressing your hope that your technicalreport will be of interest or useful to potential readers (asapplicable)

Offer to answer questions, provide clarification, makechanges (as applicable)

BACK MATTER

Submit ONE report, final version, per team. Submit a hard copy + a soft copy.

Be sure to indicate which portion of the report each team member wrote.

HARD COPY:Include in your folder:

1. final version of Technical Report (one per team)2. all preliminary peer/ instructor/peer mentor-reviewed drafts from each team member3. completed " Technical Report: Theoretical content accuracy" peer mentor approval

form ( cuLearn > Forms) (one per team member) (Present this form to your peer mentorfor him or her to complete it when she/he reviews your section of your team's technicalreport.)Note: Without this completed form, I wont know if your content is accurate, so it will bevery difficult for me to judge the success of your document.

SOFT COPY:Submit to cuLearn Assignment Folder:1. the final version of your team's report2. any electronically reviewed report drafts3. a soft copy of each of the sources you have cited in your report. Without being able to

access your sources, I cant completely evaluate your work.

See Course Outline for further format and submission requirements.
