OBJECTIVES: Basic Engineering Design requires its students to constantly exercise their practical problem solving skills and creativity. Wonder about the best way to protect an egg thats thrown into a wall? You might be required to design a device that will preserve it. Have a bag of random mechanical bits and pieces? You might be given a time limit in which to create a robotic device.

ASSIGNMENT 1
Joe runs a small limousine service. He started about 2 years ago and for the most part his business has come from family and friends who needed fancy cars for formal occasions. However, recently he put an add in the Yellow Pages and his business dramatically increased. To deal with the surge of business he leased another limo and hired a friend of his to be a driver. This is when the problem started.

When Joe started he kept track of his "sales" in an ad hoc collection of notes and his memory. Because he was the only driver (and he wasn't that busy) he just remembers his schedule (with the help of some post-it notes). However, as his business picked up Joe began to forget appointments. After he missed someones wedding and double scheduled a car for a funeral and a prom-date he decided that the problem was getting serious. He called you and asked you if you could setup an "information system" to solve his problem...

Briefly describe Joe's problem and Design a system that would solve that problem.
