SOL AR PANEL ENGINEERING PROJECT

Description Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Phase 4 Phase 5

Seven schools

collaborate to develop a

solar panel project that

includes design,

manufacturing,

distribution and

marketing.

Essential Question: How

do we convey the need

for a new product?

Thank You For Arguing

Supplemental Material

(Ted Talk Video): "The

Structure of Great Talks"

Two schools

collaborative on

developing a business and

marketing for the new

product (with input and

advice from a school in

Scotland, as the ultimate

goal was to distribute

and sell the product at a

big-box store in

Scotland).The plan

includes input from

business mentors as well

as college professors.

Another school designs

the solar panel using

AutoCAD software,

collaborating for needed

information from the

business and marketing

plan. Dimensions of the

project are shared with

yet another school that

has the responsibility to

package and distribute

the product in Scotland.

Each school shares their

electronic designs for

advice and input.

A math class at a third

school performs

economic order

modeling over the

planning horizon of the

product, as identified in

the business plan, to

ensure the cost efficient

process for ordering

production material.

Another school takes the

electronic plans and

manufactures a

prototype of the solar

panel. These students

communicate with the

school responsible for

packaging and

distribution, as final

measurements and

weight are needed.

Finally, the Logistics and

Distribution school,

working collaboratively

with the Scotland school

to determine how and

where to distribute the

product, takes the

prototype and prepares

it for final distribution.
