Team Mission

Our mission is to meet the needs of all the sponsors by creating an end user kit that can virtually be installed in any vehicle and will completely modify the vehicles sensors to improve efficiency and adaptability of the system. The key stakeholders in this project are Dave Stirk, owner of DSE Automotive, and Adelio De Monte, math and statistics instructor at ser Stanford Fleming College. Or team will complete this mission before the end of 6th semester at a professional level.

Team Goals

Project Goals / Mandatory Team Goal #1 / Mandatory Team Goal #2 / Mandatory Team Goal #3
Description of goal includes: / Achieve 50 mpg minimum which will be measured accurately after all work has been done and this will be attainable by fine tuning all components of the project to they all perform optimally and this will be done by the end of the 6th semester. / Discover electrical sensors and reverse engineer them to work together as well as for us to have manual control over them. We will use these sensors to monitor the vitals of the engine and have it running at an acceptable performance and other signs that we are controlling it. This will be done by end of 6th semester. / To get statistics and compare them and use the performance modelling taught in adelios course to find the optimal settings for both the electronic units as well as the entire car system its self. We will know we have achieved this when we can get enough data and verify that it is optimally putting out the maximum output and efficiency we where aiming for. This will be done by 6th semester.

Expulsion from Team

Also our team must follow the consequences which are applicable to the course Working with Business and Industry, the Applied Project semester and this contract.

These are

1.  Any decisions that impact the team, e.g. before a student can be removed from a team; the student and the team must meet and discuss with their mentor. Proper documentation of violations to the team contract must be available at this meeting.

2.  The option of removing a team member can only apply up until week 14 of the Applied Project semester.

3.  If a student is then removed from a team it will be mandatory for that student to meet with the mentor, Applied Project coordinator and program coordinator to determine feasibility of starting an alternative project, and, if applicable, to work out an alternative action plan.

4.  The team, mentor and sponsor will renegotiate team member roles and project scope to compensate for the change.

5.  Mentor may assign a non-performing student to a new project, (possibly made up just for the student). Because the student may have to start the new project from the planning phase, the end of the project could extend past the normal end date of the applied project semester.

All students in the team, including any who has previously completed the WBI course, must participate fully with the team to plan the project.
