The objective of this project is to design and build a model for an ATV. The size of the model should not exceed (6x6x6) in^3. The power of the model vehicle is flexible, but safety must prevail. Success of this model design may lead to a new market for ATV such as

1. A toy for children.

2. Demonstration model for object collection in other planets.

3. Demonstration model for police and army purposes.

The designed model must be able to handle slopes of 45-60 steep going up or down, go over rocks that are have the height of the wheels, moves in mud and dry dirt.

As the technology advances, the public is searching for more convenient products that can replace existing products. In this project your requested to design and build an umbrella that can fit in a normal pocket size when folded. The following must be adhered to when designing the new umbrella

1. The umbrella must be able to cover the prospective customer from heavy rain.

2. The response time to open and fold the umbrella must be reasonable and close to the response time of an existing full size umbrella.

3. The weight of the umbrella should be reasonable to fit in the pocket with any damage.

In elder homes and medical therapy clinics a nurse is requested to help residents/patients to walk and practice on a daily basis. Most of the residents and patients are unable to walk alone. They use standard wheel chares most of the day. Because of cost factors only one nurse can be assigned to each patients. The patient usually leaves his wheelchair and walks away from it with the help of the nurse. In this situation a problem may arise if the patient needs his wheel chair urgently while he and the accompanying nurse are away from it. The nurse can not leave the patient unattended to bring the chair, neither can she carries the patient back to the wheelchair. You are required to design and build a prototype wheel chair that will provide the necessary solution for the nurse. The model should not exceed (1x1x1) ft³. You need to take into considerations that the patient/resident may be walking outdoors or indoors. Usually the nurse walks the patient within 100-ft diameter. In urgent situations she will need the chair to be available within one minute.

In blood treatment applications there is a need for a small disposable pump to reduce the interaction of the patient blood with operators and equipment. The pump can be placed along with other disposable fixtures. You are required to design and build a pump with the flowing specifications

1. All blood-contacting parts are disposable.

2. Can be massed produced to reduce the cost.

3. The pump must be able to achieve a variable flow rate from 0-100ml/min with a volumetric accuracy of +/- 5%.

4. The pressure head is between -100mm Hg to 100 mm Hg.

5. Disposable size not to exceed 1x1x10 in³. The overall fixture not to exceed (1x1x1x)ft³.

The specific problem with the existing newspaper dispensers is the ease of stealing all the papers in the machine when the door is opened. Theft from existing newspaper vending machines is a source of revenue loss as well as frustration for many newspaper companies today. Another limitation in the current dispensers is that they can only handle one newspaper for each dispenser, which make them inefficient space wise. You are required to design and build a newspaper dispenser with the following specifications.

1. Can handle at least three different newspapers

2. Dispense one newspaper at the time based on customer selection.

3. Newspaper companies make most of their profit from advertisements and not from newspaper sales, so they will be unlikely to purchase machines that cost more than the current ones.

4. Familiarity of the design to customers is crucial, since customers (newspaper companies) will be unlikely to purchase newspapers from designs that deviate from existing designs.

5. The design size should conform to current newspaper dispenser standards specially in heights.
