Engineering Homework Help

I’m working on a mechanical engineering question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

MAN PRO Assignment topic is conventional Bicycle Transmission -pedals to rear wheel hub inclusive, Not single speed

Report instruction: GENERAL:
Each student must write and submit a PROJECT REPORT worth a maximum of 50 points. You
will all be provided with a TOPIC, which takes the form of a common manufactured product. You
must visually analyze your particular product and write a report about how you think it is made.
This involves “dissecting” the product and analyzing each component part. You must name the
sequence of processes that you think went into the creation of each part (starting from metal
ingot, ceramic lumps, and/or plastic granules). Any joining methods used to assemble the parts
must be included. Surface treatments (plating, coating, painting, anodizing etc., are NOT
included).
FORMATTING/DEADLINES
Your report must be between 10 and 15 pages in length. Report must be in MSWord and
submitted as a .docx file. Name your file exactly as follows: For example, if your name is John
Brown, the file name would be BrownJ F21.docx Use 8-1/2’x11″ paper (electronic) and 12
point font size (1.5 line spacing) for general text. Margins are to be no bigger than 1″ top and
bottom, and 3/4″ on the sides. The report must be a ~50/50 mix of text and diagrams. The report
must be individual work. The report and ideas therein must be original. File size MUST be kept
below 10 MB. Larger files will not be accepted. Submissions can be made from 12:00 am on
Sunday 11/21/21, with a final deadline of 11:59 pm on Wednesday 11/24/21. There will be
penalties if you violate any of the above formatting rules. Your report will be run through
TURNITIN plagiarism software – you must use your own words or your report will not be
accepted.
Clarification 1: DON’T INCLUDE references in your report
Clarification 2: Online searches are intended to find visual information on your topic
product and all its components. IT IS NOT to find out how each part is made. You are
expected to speculate, based on the class material, how you think each part is made,
using visual clues and knowledge about materials involved.
Clarification 3: DO NOT EXPLAIN how each process works. But you MUST EXPLAIN
why you think each part was made by the process(s) you attribute to its creation.

To avoid some of you having a brain freeze over what is expected in the report, here is
further explanation. It’s really simple. I just want you to prove to me that you can relate
the class material to real-world parts. So, here is what I expect:
1 – Go online and find a photo(s) of your assigned topic product OR take your own
photos if you physically have the product.
2 – Go online and find a PARTS DIAGRAM (hopefully, but not necessarily, an exploded
view) – one that shows every part in the product OR take the product apart and take
your own photos if you physically have the product. Number each part if not already
numbered.
3 – Create a document that includes the Product Photo(s) from Step 1 first, followed by
the Parts Diagram from Step 2 next.
4 – Then include a PICTURE of every unique part (identified by its number in the parts
diagram), and alongside include a sequence of the process names (in the correct order)
involved in making that part (starting from ingot). You determine which processes are
needed by visually inspecting each part and deducing the processes involved by clues
(material, size, physical appearance, etc.), and comparing those clues to the knowledge
base I gave you in the class lectures. Include the clues you used to make your
decisions along with the sequence of process names
5 – Each product topic has around 20 unique parts, each of which involves several
processes – so you should have no problem filling up at least 10 pages. Remember to
include parts within parts (example: the parts inside a ball-race bearing)
5 – Use the formatting rules I posted already, such as margins, fonts, 50/50 text picture
ratio, number of pages, file size, file name etc. Anything I didn’t specify is up to you.
Make report look professional if possible – looks do matter.
6 – Don’t waste space with references to online sources. i.e. DON’T include any
references.
Hopefully this makes things clearer – try not to bother me unnecessarily asking for more
details/explanations – just get on with it and use your initiative.
