Review “Writing as an Engineer”
http://engr1304.blogspot.com/2014/01/writing-as-engineer.html
The end of the semester is fast approaching! I am trying to give you enough time to do classwork in class, so that you will have time outside of class to get your project done.
Friendly reminder: Class attendance is 10% of your final grade. If you miss a class, you need to come in to an extra class (Tu/Th 9:30-12:30, 6:00-9:00).
April 29 Project presentation.

The No Totter Water Potter
Jack & Jill, 2014 Spring LSC ENGR Project
1. Introduction (10 points)Briefly state the product you decided to design, what need it will fill, who it will be marketed to, and why you chose this product.
ie – Jack and Jill have refused to go up the hill, so we created a clean drinking water transportation and containment system to deliver and store fresh hill spring water right inside their own house.
2. Research and Background information (10 points)
As can be seen on the map in figure 2.1, on top of High Hill at the headwaters of Slippery Stream lies Clearwater Spring. The spring water is purified through a natural filtration process where the groundwater seeps through rocks and soil (see ref #1). Etc. etc. This water was last tested on Nov 28, 2012 by AAAEnviroWet and was found to be exceptionally pure (ref #2).
.
3. Product specifications, diagrams, pictures, and user instructions. (50 points)
Older lead pipes on the High Hill property will need to be removed, and replaced with insulated polyvinyl chloride piping installed according to rhyme building code specifications (2). A splitter valve will divide the water flow into an above ground black solar hot water pot, and an underground cold water pot where it is stored until needed as shown in figure 3.1.
.
4. Modifications, testing, and operation procedures. (20 points)Water purity, pressure, and temperatures were tested throughout the system at various weather conditions as shown in table 4.1. After consideration of the data, a pressure relief valve was installed to prevent rupture of the solar heater during hot summer months, and an air injection line was installed to blow water out of lines susceptible to freeze in the winter. Operating procedures for both summer, and winter months are presented below….

6. Conclusions, suggestions for future work. (10 points)Jack and Jill’s new “No Totter Water Potter” network is vast improvement over the previous bucket and muddy path water transportation system. Although this new system has many advantages, the spring snowmelt water runoff poses a possible threat to the water purity in late April and May, and future mitigation for this is strongly suggested. Etc.
