Session Objectives

• Motivation• Examples• Suggestions• Work time


***Warning***

Extremely superficial overview of complex material ahead. Proceed with caution.


Session Objectives



Why Develop a Roadmap?


Why Develop a Roadmap?

• For complex and/or long-term projects• Forces you to consider order of implementation• Build a case for funding initial projects• Make effective use of time• Demonstrate that you have an end goal


Boeing

• Five focus areas for underwater robotics work:• Communication

• Navigation

• Payloads and Sensors

• Power

• Autonomy

• Customer seeking multiple project ideas in each area• short-term and long-term solutions


Air Quality Monitor

• Single core idea with lots of potential applications…• Wearable

• Indoors with cookstove

• Outdoors to monitor city data

• Monitor other types of emissions

• …And a corresponding need for a test chamber


Who else is here…?

• Test rigs:• PMTR – develop 1, 10, 20? Classroom demo, student

lab, or research quality?

• Garlock – build up increased functionality, parallel development to different test standards

• Baja, FSAE:• Long-term vision for the car, develop risky advances in

parallel with traditional improvements


Session Objectives



Example 1

• “A familiar technology family”• Credit to Dr. Hensel for assembling this

• Note how easy this looks in hindsight – the real challenge is to PLAN this!

Brief History - Familiar Technology Family

We observe that products move from highly modular designs to highly integrated designs, over time, as the core technologies mature.

We want to reproduce that product development experience for our students, to helpImprove the understanding of set based concurrent engineering, and modern product innovation!

During the early generations of product evolution,we observe that products Improve in capability.

They become Faster,Better,Cheaper,Safer, Smaller, and Lighter.

Session Objectives



Things to consider

• Need for each project• Platform to be used for future development?

• System to which other systems can be compared?

• Customer priority or bonus feature?

• Level of risk with each project• Risky ≠ Bad

• Safe ≠ Good

• Balance


More things to consider

• System architecture• How to modularize system

• Common interfaces? (think USB)

• It’s not personal• It’s not likely that your roadmap will play out exactly as

you define it

• View it as a starting point to give the project direction
