PROJECT: CREATING A MORPHOLOGICAL MATRIX 50 POINTS
Assignment Directions
A systematic way to view common functionality of an object's structure and components is through a morphological matrix. You are going to utilize this method to analyze a common household device (from the list below or your own idea). First, create the left-hand column by deciding on the parameters that allow the object to function normally. For example, a pencil sharpener has a blade and a housing unit to support the system. Use the parameters to describe the system. If the pencil sharpener is hand operated, list the parameter of hand turning (either the pencil itself in a small unit or a handle in a wall-mounted device). The parameter column can include specific structures in the device, power sources, or any other information you learned in the lesson. The right-hand columns will include the current methods used by the device to complete the parameter, as well as any other options that would satisfy the parameter. You must create at least two other options for each parameter.
While the matrix provides valuable information for an engineer, it is typically more technological than a client or decision team needs. Therefore, you will also need to complete a one- or two-page analysis of the device, including the current parameter solutions and any recommended alterations to a design. Each recommendation must be supported by information in the morphological matrix.
Here are some ideas of household devices that you can analyze:
can opener
bathroom or kitchen scale
doorknob assembly
stapler
Assignment Guidelines
a completed morphological matrix
each parameter must have at least three solutions
a written analysis of the device with supporting details from the matrix

Read sentence 13 from the draft. some plants retain a great deal of their foliage through much of the spring and summer, but the leaves do not retain their green color for long. which detail would be best to add after sentence 13 to develop the topic? a. since the green color of the leaves that are bright and abundant during the warmer months will disappear by the time it is fall, it is important that the leaves are trimmed and kept freshly cut so that they will last for as long as possible. b. while the temperature outside may dictate when the fall colors of leaves appear, it is only one of many environmental factors that play a part in the changing of colors from green leaves to fall-colored leaves during the cooler months. c. if people want to enjoy the green color of leaves longer, trees should be planted where the environment is warmer and the days longer because chlorophyll in the leaves can only be manufactured and replaced with sunlight and warmth. d. the green chlorophyll normally masks the fall-colored pigments during the warmer months, but as sunlight becomes less abundant and trees become frozen, the fall colors of leaves become more visible as chlorophyll disappears.
