System Evaluation¶

Resources¶

• System Evaluation Worksheet available here - Templates and Forms
• Grading rubric available on the Tasks and Due Dates page

Engineers must be honest and realistic in stating claims or estimates based on available data [1] . Therefore, you must objectively evaluate your work and report accomplishments based on available data. Consider the following issues to plan your system evaluation activities.

Template Instructions¶

1. Each student is directly responsible for at least one row
2. Choose Evaluation Methods and Techniques – Testing a system is one of the evaluation methods. Examples of other methods are as follows.
   a. Tests – Apply known input and compare the output(s) against expected values.
   b. Simulations
   c. Inspections
   d. Reviews - Such as software codes and mathematical derivation.
3. Select Approaches
   a. When a system is evaluated manually, procedures must be defined.
   b. When a system is evaluated automatically, an appropriate (test) environment, such as unit test codes, must also be developed.
4. Resources – Examples of resources in evaluations are as follows.
   a. Inputs
   - Calibrated samples
   - Signal generator for circuit designs
   - Test data for software testing
   b. Fixture for repeatable tests
   c. Measuring apparatus
   d. Focus group (volunteers) for usability tests
   e. Sample parts or material

Inclusion in other Deliverables¶

Each student is responsible for creating at least one row of the table to be explained within their Detail Individual Design and included in team's System Design Report.
This must be reviewed and approved by your PE.

At end of semester, all demonstration and testing will be carried out. Results should be combined into section 6 of the Final Design Report.
