Getting Started with Project Professional

Based on the lectures, the Engineering Design text (especially 2.2, 6.1, 6.3, 7, and 8), and your research, do the conceptual design (as explained in Chapter 2 and also above) for your project. Two or three alternative designs should be considered with functional block diagrams for all of them.You may submit your
Conceptual Design Reviewor
System Design Reviewdocument as a PowerPoint presentation or as a written document.You may use templates as a guide by doing a search of “conceptual design review template” or “system design review template.”

Create a
Project Requirements Documentfor your chosen design.It is essential that you read the document

Example: Stoplight System Requirements

prior to creating requirements for your project.
Your document should be similar to the example.It should also include a functional block diagram of the design along with the functional specifications.This should be a written document.Update your Lessons Learned Document.
