Despite of theory concept they acquire, various industries also need to know their capacity to complete projects using their specific initiatives. Thus, we recommend students to realize engineering projects in their four years of engineering education and try to present as many white papers as possible. Students who give importance to their course projects are expected to learn how to: ● ● Work in teams including multidisciplinary teams Build a major design experience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in the course work Build a major design experience incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multiple realistic constraints ● Apply both analysis and synthesis in the engineering design process, resulting in designs that meet the desired needs In the design process, both creativity and criticism are essential. The followings are the seven steps that students should consider while designing their projects: Recognition of the need and identifying opportunities: Every project begins with recognition that needs improvement. These needs may be obvious or hidden to be revealed by investigation, surveys or research. Definition of the design problem: It is a major task requires gathering information about the problem. Definition of the design criteria and constraints: While the problem is being defined, the design criteria and constraints must be defined a. Design criteria are performance standards to be met by the design b. Design constraints are limitations placed on the designer, the final design or manufacturing process. Examples of possible constraints include accessibility, aesthetics, codes, constructability, cost, ergonomics, extensibility, functionality, interoperability, legal considerations, maintainability, manufacturability, marketability, policy, regulations, schedule, standards, sustainability, or usability. c. Risk analysis The design loop: design is a repetitive process of: a. Synthesis (Brainstorming - Generating new ideas) b. Analysis (Breaking ideas - find expected results) C. Decision-making (Deciding the best alternative) ● Optimization: Design team must ask themselves if it is the optimum design. Optimum is the best design that can be achieved at reasonable cost. The proposed design is judged against the design criteria Evaluation: Design team should hold a design review to approve drawings and specifications before they are released. If an optimum design cannot be achieved, the design team might revise the problem definition, the design criteria or the constraints in order to achieve the optimal solution or prototype. II. Project Description The BCM 250 project is intended to demonstrate students' ability to understand bidding process using the theories learnt in the class. The project includes two deliverables. First deliverable is designed to practice quantity take-off with detailed design drawings. Second deliverable is designed to practice preparation of bid cost estimation together with ethical cases and their consequences. III. ABET Learning Outcome The aim of this project is to: ● As an engineer you are part of a construction company which bids for projects. You are responsible to prepare a bid offer to the owner of the project. Owner has already sent a 'notice to bidders' document explaining the bidding process, date and other details about the bidding. Owner also gives a 'bid package' explaining the details of the project you are bidding for. The contract will be offered in a lump sum basis. ● ● Understand the basic concepts of construction management (1) Practice and learn documents related to bidding (1, 3) Practice quantity take-off calculations with engineering design drawings (1) Analyze ethical cases related to bidding and construction phases of a project. (4) ABET Student Outcomes: (1) An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics. (3) An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences. (4) Ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts IV. Project Management & Deliverables This project is divided into the following deliverables. Deliverable 1: (10% ) Bidding Package and Preparation of Material BOQ You are required to: ● Form project groups (group of 3) PD1 should include: Prepare a BOQ table for the given project for materials only and show your calculations in detail for each material. Deliverable 2: (10%) Final Bid Offer and Ethical Case Analyses PD2 is a continuation of PD1 that should include: ● ● ● An update of PD1 taking into consideration all the feedback provided by the instructor With the prepared BOQ from PD1 and using the given information with Addenda 1, prepare a final bid offer considering direct, indirect and bid markup of your cost items. Remember offering a high bid price means you are reducing your possibility to be awarded by the owner, and at the same time offering a low bid offer may cause you to lost money! Explain in detail the cost items in your final bid offer. Considering the given ethical case below: One of your closest friends from another company is also preparing a bid proposal for this project. Your friend wants to show himself in his company by preparing a bid offer in very short time. However, his company has limited resources, there are not a sufficient number of engineers to help him. He learns that you are also preparing a bid offer and one day he visits you in the office. He asks your help to finish the bid offer and also asks your company's bid offer details. You kindly rejected this offer due to ethical concerns, however one week later you learnt that one of your colleagues who is a common friend of yours working in your company, gave him all the information related to your offer. O O Identify the following [SO4-Pla] ● ● The canons and rules of practice, and the professional obligations of the NSPE code of ethics that are relevant to this case. Your professional obligations and responsibilities as engineer in the studied case. Analyze the following: [SO4-PIb] The global, economic, environmental, and societal impact of your colleague's action on all the directly and indirectly affected parties/stakeholders. The immediate and long-term effects of your colleague's action. Based on your previous analysis, answer the following: Was it ethical for your colleague to reveal bid details with your friend? What should you do in this case What is the immediate and long-term impact of your decision/action on different stakeholders (society, users, non- users, etc.) in different contexts such as the economic, environmental and social contexts. [SO4-PIC] Deliverable 3: (%10) Prepare a Power Point Slide with maximum 5 slides/or a poster and attend Q&A session specified in the syllabus PD3 is a presentation and Q&A session for project work. You are required to prepare a presentation or a poster. You are also required to answer project related questions asked by the instructor./nPD2 Details Dear all, Please refer to the attached documents for PD2 calculations. For each group, BOQ table is given and for cost calculations you have to use given numbers rather than your previous calculations.
