Introduction
We live in a world of change. The drive for this change could be multifaceted: demand for
domestic appliances, improved safety, economic efficiency, new manufacturing techniques,
new material selection options, the environment, sustainability, energy efficiency, urban
growth, transportation, politics, war/defence, etc. Almost all facets associated with these
changes would need to be designed, drawn, analysed, specified, costed, built/manufactured,
marketed and serviced. It is essential that, as future engineers, you have an awareness and
some skills in the basic concepts of design including communication using drafting.
ENG1100 will get you started at developing those skills.
The course content is presented in three modules in two study books. (Refer to the previous
pages for an overview of the course and modules.)
This course is comprised of two discrete components, viz.
DESIGN and DRAFTING

In reality, design and drafting are not as clearly separate as this course may suggest. There is
significant integration of the two as they are used as parts of the one total design procedure.
However, they will be treated separately in ENG1100 and assessed separately. The course has
been prepared to give you exposure to the basic design process.
The typical sequence of real-life events that the course deals with is:
You are faced with a problem.
One solution is to solve the problem with a design approach. (There are many facets
to solving problems and a design approach is one. During your studies throughout
your degree, you will encounter various approaches to problem solving)
There are always many solutions and you should determine the most effective of the
alternatives.
You should then be able to justify your selection.
You should have sufficient drafting skills to be able to present the solution
graphically in sufficient details to allow drafters to prepare working drawings.
Note! The study of both the design and the drafting segments of this course should
proceed concurrently.
Design requirements
For this course, only design concepts will be required. Because you have not studied
technical aspects of materials and the mechanical properties of components or other
advanced engineering considerations, you will not be required to consider such details for
your design, although recognizing when a technical analysis is required is something to
start to think about.
This will, of course, free you to exercise a high degree of creativity and lateral thinking. You
will be required to apply appropriate design methods and decision making techniques and
you will have to fully document the whole process leading to your solution. The alternatives
you discard after due consideration may be as useful to the process as the one you ultimately
choose.
Note
Module 3 presents the material appropriate to the design component.
Drafting requirements
To allow you to communicate your design graphically and meaningfully, you need
considerable drafting skill and you must exhibit a high level of understanding of the drafting
techniques and conventions. You must also be able to interpret a drawing in any of the
engineering disciplines. Therefore this course gives instruction, at a basic level, in
Mechanical, Civil, Survey and Electrical Drafting.
The drafting section comprises two modules, viz.:
Module 1 Basic drafting techniques
Module 2 Specialist drafting techniques
Mechanical
Civil
Electrical
Surveying
In this course all drafting will be done in two methods:

1. freehand sketching
2. using a 2D CAD program.
Refer to Study Book 1 Section 1.1 for further information on sketching and CAD techniques.
Please note:
Module 1 is specifically designed for those who have not previously studied technical
drawing to at least Year 10 (Qld High Schools) level. Those who have studied drafting
before may not need to study module 1 in this course. They may wish to use it as a refresher
course. However, Assignment 1 which covers basic drafting and design is to be
completed by all students. It should be noted that ENG1100 only requires 50% of total
marks for the course to achieve a passing grade, a pass in every individual assessment item
is not required.
Those who have not studied drafting before should work carefully through Module 1
attempting the activities prescribed. These activities are formative only. There is no need to
submit them for correction unless you wish to ask questions about them.
Modules 2 and 3 must be studied by all students in this course.
I hope you find the course interesting. Every endeavour is made to allow you to put your own
emphasis on the course according to the branch of engineering you are studying as your
major. Assessment covers all aspects of the course and this reflects the intention to give
students exposure to the various disciplines.
The teaching staff enjoy their involvement in the course and are happy to discuss any aspect
of the course with you.
We hope for a high standard of work from students, so submit your very best efforts for
assessment. More is said on assessment later in this introductory material.
On behalf of the teaching team I wish you an enjoyable and rewarding study.

Course resources
Study materials for the drafting component
Equipment
Every job is made easier if you have the correct tools. The tools used in drafting are many
and varied. Some must be seen as essential and some as very useful aids though not essential.
In the course we require you to use a computer-aided drafting package for the drafting
component.
It is desirable that students should have access to a 2D CAD software package of industry
standard. This may be achieved in several ways including:
use of CAD in your workplace
possession of your own copy of a CAD package
download software from Autodesk <http://students.autodesk.com> (Follow the Free

Software for Students links on the site, register using your USQ email address. Use
the Forum for problems with downloading/installing AutoCAD on StudyDesk to
seek advice or ask questions)
other access through friends, etc.
It is recommended to use the free AutoCAD version available from Autodesk. This software is
reliable and runs easily on most computers in the vast majority of cases.
Another alternative is for you to check out the Internet. You may be able to locate a CAD
package through that avenue. Remember though you will need to familiarise yourself with
the package you select and that it will need to cover drawings in all the areas covered in the
course specifications. All assignments are to be submitted electronically via StudyDesk
more details for electronic submission are given at the beginning of each assignment.
Freehand sketching is still a very important skill to acquire. Some people prefer to
freehand sketch drawings before creating them on CAD. Engineering personnel need to be
able to provide a freehand sketch of a solution to a problem to assist visualising ideas and
communicating them to others. It also helps identify any complications that may occur.
You will be required to produce freehand sketches as part of Assignment 1.
10
The materials used in the freehand sketching are pencils and paper with associated
accessories.
Pencils
Acceptable variations include:
Standard wooden pencil but buy a good brand, e.g. Staedler, Mars
Drafting clutch pencil with 2 mm lead
Fineline propelling/clutch pencil.
Note that all of these require careful sharpening of the lead.

The lead grades I suggest you try are HB, B or 2B
Pencil sharpener
You may use any pencil sharpener appropriate. Not all mechanical sharpeners are good for
sharpening drafting pencils. Experiment with options including a blade (such as a craft knife) to
prepare the point. In the extreme, you can use some fine grit emery paper to finish the point. Pay
attention to the effectiveness of the pencil you are using. Dont be satisfied with a result from
an ill-prepared pencil when a better drawing can be achieved with a little extra effort preparing
the pencil.
Drawing paper
An ideal medium on which to produce a freehand sketch is prepared sketching paper either
orthogonal (squared) or isometric depending on the sketch to be prepared. Printable versions
of grid sketching sheets can be downloaded from StudyDesk. When you purchase your text,
some sketching paper is included it may be enough for your purposes. Freehand sketches
for Assignment 1 must be completed on the grid paper provided on the Study Desk.
Eraser
You will need a good quality eraser and a way to maintain a reasonable wedge-shaped end for
precise use.
Text
Engineering drawing (8th edn) by Boundy.
This is a McGraw-Hill publication and is the source of many of the exercises you will be
required to attempt.
Many students may be using earlier editions of the text. These students will find the page
numbers and exercise numbers will differ in earlier editions of the text. The teaching team
may be able to assist if you wish to find the corresponding section/example from an earlier
version. A Study Book page references between Text Book editions will be available on
StudyDesk for some previous editions of the text.
Using the text

The study material wont necessarily direct you to all the information in the text. You are
expected to read Boundy until you are familiar with its contents.
11
Study materials for the design component

There is no set text for the design part of this course. The Study Book has the basics. It is
recommended that you read extra material on conceptual design, ergonomics and design
methods. Most technical libraries would have some volumes addressing these areas. Some
Selected readings are available in the Useful Links block on ENG1100 Studydesk.
I would like to see you use your family and friends or colleagues to constructively criticise
your ideas or to suggest alternative solutions. Dont make the mistake of thinking you must
have a technical person to solve a technical problem.

In the introduction, we stated that design is driven by change and need. Some of these drivers
are the need for (or development in) safety, production efficiency, energy efficiency, ease of
use and change in demand resulting from public perception, consumer trends, economic
trends and technology improvements.
All the objects, appliances, machines or systems in our everyday lives have been driven by
some of these factors.
Battery technology is improving at an increasing rate. Some suggest the rate of improvement in
battery technology compares to the improvement achieved in the past in computer hardware
technology. This improving battery technology is making battery powered equipment serious
competitors for equipment once powered by internal combustion engines. This is even
extending to cars.
Your task is to assess the trend in battery powered electric lawn mowers. Compare with
internal combustion engine powered mowers. Identify what characteristics are required in the
features of a battery powered lawn mower in comparison to an engine powered one.
Your analysis should discuss the following:
NEED What is the need that led to the development of the piece of equipment? Is there a
true need for battery powered mowers or are they an option supplied in response to
market demand? If you identify another reason for the trend or than need, explain how this
is responsible for the trend.
EVOLUTION OF DESIGN How did features of battery bowered mower evolve

from their first introduction to their present forms? What were the drivers for the
changes? Consider the historical development and recent trends.
MATERIAL SPECIFICATION What materials are used in the manufacture of battery

powered mowers? Discuss the changes in material specification and how this has allowed
for improved designs? What characteristics of materials in battery powered mowers are
different from engine powered mowers? Why?
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN Discuss the sustainability aspects of recent trends, address

at least three of the many facets referred to in the lecture notes that contribute to
sustainability. Suggest which design feature may become more prevalent in future years.
MARKETING Suggest a marketing focus for the design feature you chose in
the previous dot-point? Explain how your chosen design will be attractive to
consumers.
DESIGN IMPROVEMENT Think outside-the-circle? What alternatives exist for

changing current trends?
Document the design analysis in a short report (maximum of 800 words) using the section
headings as listed above. Also indicate the number of words used in the report. You need to
word process your report but save and submit as a .pdf document.
Note: Please consider the different marks associated with each section in the marking
criteria as a guide to the significance of each aspect to help write your report.
See next pages for Marking Schedule for all questions.

Conceptual design presentation

Working as a team, select one of the design problems listed and prepare a conceptual
solution. Your need to give a presentation of your solution, as a team. Each of the areas
addressed by the study material should be demonstrated in your project. To substantiate your
conceptual solution, you (as a team) are required to keep a project logbook, in which you will
record all meetings, correspondence, concept design, etc. You will be required to submit the
logbook on the day of your presentation. The logbook would take the form of a conventional
report.
The design activity will be assessed on:

Originality
Feasibility
Application of study material

Presentation
Overall effort
List of conceptual design problems

You must select ONE of these topics.
1. Design an efficient charcoal fired stove for use in under-developed countries.
2. Design an environmentally-friendly, single-seater tricycle for urban use.
3. The efficacy of some medicines is dependent on the temperature at which they
are stored. Design a portable container that will keep medication at
approximately 4oC for at least 12 hours.
4. Kitchen storage containers can become problematic because different lid sizes
are required for different containers. Design a system that will provide for the
use of a unique lid to fit many different sized containers. The solution must
accommodate containers with different sized openings.
5. Design a navigation guidance system for the automated movement of
wheelchairs within a structured environment.
6. Design a low-cost mass commuter transit system that would reduce the use of
motor vehicles in city centres.
7. Patients recuperating from illness or injury and residents of aged care facilities
25
spend long periods of time being inactive. Design an exercise device to increase
the physical activity of patients/residents, giving consideration to motivation to
exercise, physical ability, system complexity, ease of use, etc.
8. Autonomous vehicles (driverless car/bus/commuter-vehicle) are in
development. Consider uses of autonomous vehicles in city environments,
considering limits on current technology. You only need to consider the way
autonomous vehicles could be used safely and with public approval. You do not
need to consider the technical aspects of how an autonomous vehicle works, but
you will need to research their current capability.
9. Design a system to effectively utilize the heat trapped in a roof (for any use that
would reduce overall consumption of fossil-fuel-based energy).
10. Design a flow measuring device for use in domestic houses to monitor water
consumption at individual outlets, and hence be able to identify water
consumption/wastage.
11. Design a cable-car ride between Picnic Point and Table-top Mountain. Give
consideration to environmental impact, power resources, driving mechanisms,
material selection, construction and aesthetics.
12. Design an activity that would enhance the learning of AutoCAD (as taught in
this course)
Design Presentation Logbook

Ensure that you include the following in your design logbook:
Need for project
Concept designs idea generation
Decision matrices for best solution
Details of best solution features, materials, ease of use, etc
Ergonomics
Marketing how you would go about marketing the product
Appendix (IMPORTANT) show a dissection of work i.e. what proportion of the
project/presentation was undertaken by each of the team members. There must be

consensus on this before the logbook is submitted. Please complete and print the peer
review form on Page 27, get all team members to sign and attach to your logbook. A guide
to considering aspects during the peer assessment is in the Teams' Information, Forums,
Activities and Resources block on StudyDesk. Your presentation will not be assessed if the
logbook and the completed and signed peer evaluation are not submitted PRIOR to your
presentation.
You do not have to produce detailed CAD drawings as this is only a concept design;
sketches are more appropriate.

Value:
Part B =150 marks

Total value for Assignment 2 is 300 of the 1000 marks for this course
This task is more complex than it may first appear. Everyone is likely to have seen a ball
suspended in a stream of air (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIaK9pnBpgM) . The
assessment, to some degree is based on a comparison of performance with other groups, so it
is unlikely that you can achieve a good result without applying a reasonable amount of time to
this task. Once the Assignment 2 presentations are complete, it is strongly advised that you
commence your design process for this task.
Ping Pong Ball Deployment

You will find throughout your engineering degree, that examples, practical demonstrations,
theories and analyses are used to help describe phenomena that engineers need to have an
understanding of. The intention of such descriptions is to help you comprehend what are
sometimes very complex phenomena. It is always useful to keep in mind what the
information you are being given is able to be used for. This assignment works from the
opposite approach. You have a task to achieve, but you are unlikely to have technical
engineering skills (yet) that would allow you to analysis the problem. In your groups,
explore, research and experiment with ideas with the goal of obtaining the best outcome. It
will be a good result from this assignment if it develops your future ability to connect
technical information with how it could be used, especially if it generates a motivation for
you to seek that technical information.
Description
Your task is to construct a tower and device that will deploy a ping pong ball under specific
conditions. The goal is to achieve the maximum distance between the balls first and second
bounces on a hard horizontal surface at the same height as the surface supporting the tower.
Specifications:
1. Your team will be supplied with the following materials and your device cannot be built
using any other materials:

13 mm polythene barbed tee
12 mm clear PVC hose

300 x 300 x 12 sheet of plywood

0.5 m
1
Consider the following with reference to Figure 1

2.
You may replace materials if you choose to alter a design or need to replace components
from a failure, but any additional materials must be EXACTLY the same type and
replacement materials will be at the teams expense. Your final structure must NOT use
more than the prescribed material and quantities in the above list.
3.
Your structure is to be built using the plywood as a base. The structure is be free standing
and no aids to help retain the base in position are allowed. The test will be carried out on a
horizontal hard surface similar to a desk top. Your structure is to sit on the surface and not
be held in place by adhesive action or clamps.
4.
There are no bounds on the way you construct your tower and device to deploy the ping
pong ball, except the following must apply
No part of the structure or device is to come in contact with the horizontal surface on the
side on which the 300 mm first bounce limit marker is situated.
Once the ball is released from the device, it is required to first bounce within 300 mm of
the edge of the base.
The base must be positioned 300 mm from the first bounce limit marker.
The distance achieved, in the normal direction, between the second bounce and a mark
defining the limit distance of 300 mm from the base is the measured criteria for
performance to achieve the competitive score. How close the first bounce is to the limit
distance of 300 mm from the base is not considered.
The device is to use air as an energy source to suspend the ball in a jet or activate or
actuate the device and/or tower in any way to achieve the optimum bounce distance. The
supply of air to the device and/or tower is to be controlled by a turn valve.
Up to four balloons can be used to store the pressurized air. The balloons need to be
inflated in a safe way. You also need to use one of the valves to hold the air in the
balloons. All balloons must be attached to piping in a way that allows them to be
changed without removing or apply ducting tape. All balloons used must be connected
to the pipes while being inflated. Inflating the balloons separately, then attaching to your
device is not allowed.
While experimenting with your design, you will probably inflate the balloons by mouth.
Ensure that you do not exceed your capacity to inflate the balloons. Rest if required. If
more than one person inflates the balloons, consider the hygiene of the mouthpiece. On
the day of the tests, we will provide a compressor to inflate the balloons.
On the day of the test, balloons will be supplied and are the only balloons that can be
used for the tests.
5. The goal is to achieve the maximum bounce distance possible. The above constraints on
your construction technique are aimed at producing a fair competition and provide a basis
for your approach to designing your structure/device. There is likely to be scenarios that
these rules do not cover. You are free to ask for clarifications or to defend your
30
interpretation at the time of the testing. The judges decision on the compliance with the
rules is final.
Rule breach
Penalty*
Device or tower built from more than the

type and quantity of the prescribed
materials
Disqualified from the competitive score
Any part of the tower or device contacts

the horizontal surface on the side of the
base plate in the direction of the 300 mm

50% of the margin between the lowest

and highest competitive score
A turn valve is not used as the means to

retain the air in the balloons

A turn valve is not used as the means to

control the air flow to the tower and/or
device

*Note: Penalties are cumulative

6. The construction material will only be released to the team after they have presented their
draft design to one of the referees (Ray Malpress, Peter Penfold, Toby Low).
A logbook is required to be submitted on the day of the test. This logbook needs to report
on the teams approach to the task, the design processes and the duties undertaken by each
team member. Photographs, drawings and descriptions of the various stages in the process
should be included. The team members peer review consensus on the allocation of
percentage contribution to the teams work is required in the log book. Your teams marks
will not be released unless a logbook containing the peer review is provided.

The surface used on the day of the test will be a conventional desk top, hard laminate.
Scoring:Competitive score for distance achieved:

Scoring for the bounce performance will be based on the distance measured from the 300
mm limit mark to the second bounce point, less any penalties applied. The maximum score of
80 will be given to the team that achieves the greatest distance (considering penalties). A
proportional mark will be given between a minimum mark (no lower than 40, unless
disqualified) judged by the course examiner to apply to the team that achieves the lowest
distance bounced. The scores allocated to other teams will be proportional to the distance
achieved. As an example, (judge allocates 45 to the minimum bounce distance)

Total team assessment will be the sum of marks based on creativity, quality of construction,
safety, logbook and performance. The breakdown of marks is shown in the following table.
Individual students mark will be determined from the percentage of participation,

decided within the team and presented in the Logbook.
PLEASE NOTE:
It is not acceptable to approach the examiner AFTER the assessment tests for this
assignment and claim that you were excluded or not considered by your team during
the team work. You MUST approach the examiner as early as possible with concerns
32
about team participation/inclusion. It is impossible to retrospectively arrange for an

alternative if you have not been given an opportunity to participate by your team. The
examiner will make every effort to accommodate any team based issues IF they are
presented to him early enough in the semester for something to be organized.

QUESTIONS OUT OF QUESTIONS 1, 2 AND 3. YOU ARE REQUIRED TO
COMPLETE QUESTIONS 4 AND 5.
IN OTHER WORDS, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT FOUR SOLUTIONS, TWO
OF WHICH NEED TO BE Q4 AND Q5. If you submit solutions to all of questions 1, 2 and
3, only Q1 and Q2 will be marked.
Computer Aided 2D Drafting program must be used for this assessment.
Submit this assignment electronically via StudyDesk. Use the same submission
procedure as outlined for Assignment 1. Free-hand sketches are not required for this
assignment
All CAD drafting solutions must be drawn to suit an A3 sized drafting sheet.
Please print (print as a PDF file) using the monochrome (black and white) setting.
This assignment must be entirely the work of the student. Any copying or collusion
observed by the examiners will be subject to university policy and could result in a zero
mark. For guidance on what constitutes Academic Misconduct and its various
categories, at USQ refer to Student Academic Misconduct Policy available at:
http://policy.usq.edu.au/policy/files/student%20academic%20misconduct.htm
The marking schedule shows the breakdown of marks awarded for each question.
Question 1
(95 marks)
Field notes and traverse drawing may be an outdated form of keeping and presenting
information on the position of features on a site. Modern electronic equipment and
computer based processing will inevitably supersede the traditional technique, but the
technique does require the understanding of position and relative association which is the
basis of the modern alternatives. In completing the following task, you gain some
knowledge of the concepts of the traverse and gain experience of using CAD software in a
different way.
The following field notes (3 sheets) of an investigation survey for a service station site
have been compiled by a surveyor.
Using CAD software, produce a drawing of the traverse showing all the information on the
site.

Question 2
37
(95 marks)
Some of the Remote Access Laboratory equipment in the Hydraulics Lab at USQ were designed
and built in-house. An experiment to measure the flow performance of a centrifugal water pump
is described in the schematic of Figure 2. Use this schematic in conjunction with the following
operating requirements,
The height of water in the upper tank, measured by Ultrasonic Level Transducer S-2 determines the
flow rate based on an algorithm of flow through a V-notch.
The Electronically Actuated Ball Valve V-1 is set by the user to restrict the flow on the output of the
pump, thereby increasing the pressure required to be produced by the pump and simulating downstream
loads. Position feedback of this valve is sent to the PLC to ensure values arent taken while it is still
being adjusted.
The pump speed is set by the user Interface HMI. The 3-phase, 240VAC pump has its own Variable
Speed drive and is controlled directly from the control PLC.
The variable speed drive has analogue outputs for instantaneous Torque and Speed sent to the PLC.
The level of the lower tank is measured by Ultrasonic Level Transducer S-3 and is used to measure the
head of water supplied to the pump and stop the pump if the height above the pump suction line is not
sufficient.
The experiment can determine the performance curves for the pump over designated pump speeds, flow
and head pressure ranges.
The remote HMI Control uses one PLC using five inputs to produce the data used to generate the
performance curves.
For safety purposes an emergency stop pushbutton isolates ac power when pressed
