During the academic year 2012/13 students were asked to produce a dice and base paperweight in the School of Engineering, Technology and Maritime Operations workshops. You are required to complete a full set of drawings for the components and discuss the manufacturing processes needed, along with the equipment required to produce the paperweight. A representation of the paperweight is shown below (Figure 1), however, all dimensions are entirely at your discretion although it is recommended that the dice base is no greater than 50mm square.

Assignment Brief
Referral Engineering Design Practice Assignment
This assignment requires you to complete a project for the module “Engineering Design
Practice”. You are required to submit the work to the campus centre by the 5th
August 2013.
The project
During the academic year 2012/13 students were asked to produce a dice and base
paperweight in the School of Engineering, Technology and Maritime Operations workshops.
You are required to complete a full set of drawings for the components and discuss the
manufacturing processes needed, along with the equipment required to produce the
paperweight.
A representation of the paperweight is shown below (Figure 1), however, all dimensions are
entirely at your discretion although it is recommended that the dice base is no greater than
50mm square.

The final submission should be in the form of a technical report and
should include the following:-
An Introduction
A brief introduction to the project.
Part One -The Dice/Base Paperweight Drawings using Solidworks
1. An engineering drawing in 1st
angle of each part, with full dimensions and annotations.
2. An engineering drawing of the paperweight assembly.
3. A 3D Solid model of the Dice/Base/Bolt assembly.
4. An engineering drawing exploded view of the paperweight assembly with bill of
materials.
Part Two – Dice Manufacture
1. Explain in detail ALL the manufacturing processes required to produce the Dice/Base in
chronological order.
2. Comment on workshop equipment required and the materials used to produce the
paperweight.
Conclusion
Should include a brief summary of the project.
Please ensure that you complete the drawings on an A4 drawing template
The marks for the portfolio are divided as follows:-
 Introduction 5%
 Part One – Dice/Base/Assembly/BOM 40%
 Part Two – Manufacturing Process 30%
 Conclusion 5%
 General quality of presentation 20%
Total 100%

Plagiarism
Plagiarism is considered as academic misconduct. The University takes cases of plagiarism very seriously
and all alleged cases of academic misconduct will be investigated thoroughly by a School Investigatory
Panel. Students are advised to ensure that any coursework submitted is their own work or, where the
work of others is referred to (this includes any third-part material e.g. text, images, diagrams, drawings),
it is correctly referenced. The University defines plagiarism in the following way:
 The representation of the work, written or otherwise, of any other person, from any source
whatsoever, as the candidate's own. Examples of plagiarism may be as follows:
 The verbatim copying of another's work without clear identification and acknowledgement –
including the downloading of materials from the internet without proper referencing and
acknowledgement
 The close paraphrasing of another's work by simply changing a few words or altering the order
of presentation, without clear identification and acknowledgement.
 Unidentified and unacknowledged quotation of phrases from another's work.
 The deliberate and detailed presentation of another's concept as one's own.
