The design of a product you use in the home or for leisure
Scenario
Self-Developed Project
please consider a Project which is linked to your Engineering Discipline. Within this assignment, you will need to consider several ideas, choose the most appropriate and create a specification and Project Plan.
You may wish to consider the following when deciding on a Project:
• The design of a product you use in the home or for leisure
• Sustainable Energy Methods in relation to the home
• The design of tools used in the home
• Or any other project related to your engineering discipline
Task 1 (AC 1.1)
Use thought processing techniques to identify three possible projects and produce a detailed mind map in order to formulate and specify the detail of the possible projects.
You will need to submit a detailed mind map which shows the specific requirements of each project. It is essential to provide a brief introduction to define each project as well as to justify the choice and type of project to clearly state the problem, how it came about and how success of your project would be measured?
Task 2 (AC 1.2, M2)
(a) Evaluate each project using a suitable method, e.g. an evaluation matrix with appropriate evaluation criteria.
(b) Identify the project that you have selected for the rest of this unit and explain the factors that contributed to the selection of this project.
(c) In order to achieve M2, you must justify the method of evaluation that you have used in task 2a to select your Project.
You may find it useful to compare your method with others available. Ensure you provide references to demonstrate effective research
Task 3 (AC 1.3)
For this criterion you will submit your project approval form which identifies that your assessor has agreed your topic.
You will need to submit a detailed project specification. Which is structured in an appropriate specification format.
Task 4 (AC 1.4)
You will submit a detailed project plan for the agreed project. You will identify the tasks which need to be carried out and the timing of the project. It is expected that your plan identifies tasks which can be completed both consecutively and concurrently, detailing a stage-by-stage approach towards project completion.

Task 6 (D3)
Provide a short statement which identifies how you have used both lateral convergent thinking during the selection and specification of your project.
To assist your explanation a definition of these terms are provided below:
Lateral Thinking: the solving of problems by an indirect and creative approach, typically through viewing the problem in a new and unusual light.
Convergent thinking: the ability to give the "correct" answer to standard questions that do not require significant creativity, or is the process of finding a single best solution to a problem that you are trying to solve.
