School of Engineering
Foldable Stair Climbing Cart
Part I – Design
Project statement
Design a Climbing Cart that can be used for easily transporting groceries, laundry, books etc… Devise a
mechanism of motion that can tackle obstacles, stairs, curbs, slopes and uneven terrain. It should be foldable
to a maximum of 5 in. depth for easy storage. Weight should not exceed 15 lb., while maintaining a weight
capacity of 100 lb. The size of the cart should accommodate moving of medium-sized household items.
Customers prefer the product to have a comfortable handle, and to be quick and easy to assemble.

Instructions
Form teams and work on producing the following project components:
(i)
A prototype or a scaled model. The model cannot be less than 25% of the original size.
The proof of concept should be shown through a physically made prototype/ model. Submission
of the prototypes/ models.
(ii)
A written report. Each report should include:
• Title page;
• Table of contents, showing sections with headings;
• Introduction outlining the scope of your project.
• Methodology
• Discussion/ procedure, that reflects understanding of the design methodology. Discuss
the problem formulation, objectives, objective tree, PCC chart, constraints, functionmeans tree, QFD chart and drawings. Also include requirements (specifications), metrics
and a conceptual design with an alternatives and morphological chart followed by a
detailed design (costs, materials and analysis of design). Project planning and timeline
should be included. Discussions should address the ethical and environmental issues.
• Results
• Conclusion summarizing the report.
• Technical drawings using a CAD tool should be printed and attached.
