The competition judges are also key customers, but we cannot interview them in person. this, we have reviewed the FSAE rules (Appendix C) and feedback from the 2011 design competition in order to extrapolate the design judge’s requirements for this project. Product Design Specifications (PDS) Table 2 is a representation of each customer’s design requirements, as well as applicable parameters. These include the priority level of each, which are rated by the customer as either high, medium, or low with three, two, or one dot, respectively, as well as the associated metrics and targets and how that target will be verified. Some targets may change, with the customer’s approval, based on detailed analysis of the system. Design Specifications Table 2.
