Design Review References

Things to remember/consider for your design reviews:

• Provide a courteous invitation to your sponsor, noting that it is not requred, but they are welcome to attend
  • Provide directions and give the instructor a heads-up of who you think may be attending (so I can have them a parking pass)
• Bring in your Design History Files with all deliverables and copies of the presentation included
  • This is in case anyone has a question and wants to see your DHF (you should return it to your locker after the Design Review)
  • Specifics on turning in deliverables and obtaining signatures are detailed on the Deliverable and Assignment Turn In References page
• Bring in your lab Notebook and leave it with the instructor for evaluation between classes
  • Note: the notebook should be the last thing your turn in before leaving class, such that you can take notes with it
• Be sure to complete an Individual Team Evaluation once for each phase
  • These are due by the end of the week of each design review (can be done before or after the review)
  • These are confedential and honesty is of the utmost importance
  • Be sure to evaluate each of your team members, including yourself
• During class, you will also be asked to complete presentation reviews
  • These will be provided to half the class at each Design Review
  • Those not doing the presentation review will be responsible for keeping Q&A lively and taking notes in your notebook
  • Those doing the evaluation will be exempt from having notebook notes for the design review
  • Those doing the evaluation will be asked to fill in the evaluation on line by 9:00 on the day following the review
• Dress Business Casual, as guests may attend, including sponsors, faculty, and others from industry
• Ensure your presentations are saved in the course locker for your group and have the appropriate file name
• You have 14 minutes for each presentation, including Q&A
  • Going over on time is not permitted
  • A good rule will be 9-10 minute presentations and 4-5 minutes for Q&A (but can do Q&A throughout if you wish)
  • The entire audience, including students not doing evaluations, will be expected to participate in a lively Q&A
  • All students are expected to be in class for the entire duration of the design review
