ASBE Design Challenges

Goal: ASBE's goal is to provide real world design challenges to students.  In the links below are descriptions of the various design problems.  With each design project a series of files are provided to the student for download.  These files provide a starting point to begin any project.  Layout information is also provided within each design project.
NOTE: ALL PARTS ARE IN METRIC (mm)
          Creo Reference Video: Setting/Changing Units
          OnShape Reference Tutorial: Setting Default Units per Workspace
Title Block: Use attached Title Block form for Layout:  ASBE Title Block 
   NOTE: Title Block should be removed from the zip folder and placed with the design files.  Paper Size: D Size

Layout  
    Layout of all design challenges should include
         - Min. Layout Requirements: Min. of 2 orthographic views, BOM Chart, Isometric of object
         - Assembly/Shop Notes
         - Description of design
          - Views: Orthographic (Multi-Views, Section, Auxiliary, etc.), Pictorial (exploded, assembled partially assembled) or any other type of drawing that conveys the overall scope of the project. 
          - Optional:  Recommend saving copies of the Files as they are modeled/assembled to show how they changed overtime to place on the Layout.
      Design Concept Layout ONLY: Include the following (NOTE: Optional for Engineering Design
          - Sketches showing the Design Process
          - Min. 1 Page Paper Describing the product and design process
