REVERSE ENGINEERING

Refined Project Description


 Conduct reverse engineering of an existing product
 Sketch and prototype alternative design concepts
 Participate in group brainstorming and ideation sessions
 Manufacture prototype components using 3D printing and/or workshop tools
 Assemble and evaluate the final prototype product

As a Step-by-Step Process
1. Reverse engineer the existing product to understand its components and functionality
2. Generate alternative design concepts through sketching and group brainstorming
3. Develop prototypes of selected designs
4. Manufacture prototype parts using 3D printing and workshop machinery
5. Assemble the prototype and assess its performance

As Learning Outcomes
