Technology Transfer¶

Documentation¶

Your prototype and test results must be reproducible by the next team and your client mentor. In addition to preparing a final report, you must ensure all work by the team is posted.

Be certain that original source files of all final deliverables (report, poster, SOP, etc..) are saved to the EDN and/or Repository. This means PPT, Word, Excel rather than just PDF versions. PDFs are difficult/impossible for future students or client to make edits and advance the work.

Verify the final versions of all CAD models, assemblies, software code, experimental setup and data, etc... are saved to the EDN and/or Repository.

If necessary your project mentor will transfer all documentation to your client mentor. For more information on Subversion, see the Subversion wiki page.

Hardware¶

If your team built prototypes and/or used the fabrication area, make sure to transfer your physical prototype(s) and unused material to your Project Engineer (or Scott Yerbury) following the PE's instructions. If the team needs to send a prototype to the client , prepare a shipping instruction and make the prototype ready to be boxed and shipped.

Work Area Cleanup¶

• You must clean up your assigned area.
• Return all tools to their proper location.
• Return all test equipment, such as cables and multimeters, to their proper location.
• Return all Design Lab equipment that you signed out, such as NI DAQ modules, Arduinos, ESP32's, tachometers, etc. to your Project Engineer or other Lab staff member as per your PE's instructions.

If you are unsure what equipment your team has signed out, visit Booty Bay to see a list of some of the equipment that can be signed out. Note that smaller items may not be on the list.
