Content text CEP - Problem Statement - PE
Complex Engineering Problem (CEP): Complex engineering problems are following the Washington Accord (IEA2015). These problems must involve attributes (a) and at least one of the attributes (b) – (g) stated below: a) Cannot be resolved without in-depth engineering knowledge. b) Involve wide-ranging or conflicting technical, engineering and other issues. c) Have no obvious solution and require abstract thinking and originality in analysis to formulate suitable models. d) Involve infrequently encountered issues. e) Outside problems encompassed by standards and codes of practice for professional engineering. f) Involve diverse groups of stakeholders with widely varying needs. g) High level problems including many component parts or sub-problems. CEP (Power Electronics - EE-313) Problem Statement: To plan, assess, and manage the design and synthesis of speed control of a DC motor utilizing three phase AC voltages (400 Vrms line-to-line). Deliverables: The following deliverables shall be completed and submitted by students. 1) Preliminary plan and design assessment report at the beginning of CEP for instructor’s approval. This must include project abstract, timeline, resource identification and allocation, task identification and scheduling, bill of materials (BOM), design objectives, risk assessment and management and outline of project outcomes and deliverables. 2) Intermediate report and evaluation two weeks after preliminary plan submission. This includes a report along with a basic prototype of the final hardware. The report must include final circuit schematic on professional software (Proteus, Multisim, Altium Designer, Easy EDA, Eagle etc.), along with related flow charts or state-diagrams, details of design and implementation phase, resource utilization, revised or updated timeline, revised or updated resource identification and allocation, revised or updated task identification and scheduling, revised or updated bill of materials (BOM), and revised or updated risk assessment and management. 3) Final design report along with completed hardware. This report must include any revision or updates in the previously submitted report. The final hardware must be enclosed in secure housing with no loose connections/elements. Final testing and evaluation shall be performed by the instructor in the lab using an oscilloscope.
