# * Task 1: Presentation and Viva
You must prepare a technical presentation (PowerPoint) and be ready for a viva examination.
### Requirements:
1. Select ONE of the following topics:
– Materials and Manufacturing Challenges in the Automotive Industry
– Hydrogen Energy Storage
– Aerospace Sector
– Railway Industry
2. The presentation must include the following sections:
– Introduction (clear background and objectives)
– Literature Review (use reliable academic sources)
– Material Selection (types of materials used and justification)
– Manufacturing Processes (methods and techniques with explanation)
– Discussion (identify problems and propose solutions)
– Conclusion (summarize findings and recommendations)
3. The presentation should:
– Be designed for 12 minutes speaking time
– Include clear diagrams, figures, and engineering explanations
– Demonstrate deep understanding (not just description)
4. Prepare for viva (8 minutes):
– Be able to explain all concepts clearly
– Justify material choices and manufacturing processes
– Answer technical questions confidently

# * Task 2: Design, Analysis, and CAD Modelling
You are required to design and model a Machine Vice using SolidWorks.
—
## 1. Part Modelling
Create individual 3D models for all components, including:
– Base Jaw
– Moving Jaw
– Lead Screw
– Handle
Requirements:
– Use correct assigned dimensions (A, B, C)
– Fully constrained sketches
– Proper feature usage (extrude, fillet, chamfer, etc.)
– Rename features clearly in the feature tree
– Engrave the Student ID (202411042) on the base jaw
—
## 2. Assembly
– Assemble all parts correctly using mates
– Ensure full functionality (opening and closing motion)
– Check for interferences
– Ensure the file opens correctly on another device
—
## 3. Engineering Drawings (2D)
Produce A3 drawings BS8888:
### Required drawings:
– Assembly drawing (with sectional view offset 12 mm)
– Base jaw detailed drawing
– Moving jaw detailed drawing
Requirements:
– Include 1015 key dimensions
– Clear orthographic views
– Sectional hatching
– Completed title block
—
## 4. Motion Study (Simulation)
– Create a motion simulation showing jaw movement
– Apply motor rotation = 4 rpm
– Duration = 60 seconds
– Format = AVI
– Ensure Student ID is visible in animation
—
## 5. Final Submission
Submit a compressed (ZIP) folder containing:
– All part files
– Assembly file
– Drawing files
– Motion simulation video
* Important:
– If files do not open marks will be lost
– All work must be original and properly structured
—
# * Expected Quality
– Accurate dimensions and engineering logic
– Professional CAD modelling
– Clear and standard-compliant drawings
– Strong technical explanation in presentation
– Logical reasoning and justification throughout
—
# * Notes
– Follow a structured engineering design process
– Ensure consistency in units and dimensions
– Provide clear explanations for all design decisions
– Maintain high presentation and documentation quality
