The BOM is a precise list of exactly what you think you will need. It will include a list of all electrical components and a cutting list for you required materials.
You can think of this as a shopping list. Therefore you need to consider the cost of each item. You project MUST come in under budget.
You have a $30 budget for this project
Eg:
Components Needed: Cost:
1 x 3W Mini amplifier circuit
2 x 60mm 8ohm speaker
1 x Toggle switch
1 x 3.5 mm male audio jack
1 x USB cable
Use AliExpress for pricing of electronic components.
Materials Needed:
MDF: 2 sheets at 1200 x 600 x 9
Timber screws: approx 20
Clear gloss polyurethane
Cutting lists for materials should include the type of material, size in millimetres (length x width x thickness) and quantity.
Consider fixings, hardware and finishes.
Use Bunnings or consult your teacher for the cost of materials.
Planning
You need to create a production plan that outlines the major steps you should undertake in order to complete this design task. You should have a simple parts list already.
Please make your own version of the table below and outline the steps need to make your speakers.
Jigsaw
G-clamps
Safety glasses
Price List
Audio Jack, usb cable ect : $2.00
MDF: 1200x900x12: $15.00
Acrylic sheet: 1220x1220x3: $50.00
A good production plan is one that could be followed by others.

Make your project!!
You need to follow your production plan! Do gain feedback from teachers and peers to double check that your planning is feasible, but once you certain, you should be good to go.
Take photos and make short comments as you work through the making of your project.
You can make a copy of your Production Plan above and the record what actually occurred each lesson.

Task: Evaluate and reflect upon the design and production of your project.
It is very rare indeed for a project to go exactly as planned and for their to be no changes made to the design. You should explain and evaluate the construction process and justify any changes made to your design.
Its fine to change your mind while you are making, but you need to explain those changes.
Task: Reflect upon the plan you made above.
Did you follow this plan to the letter?
Did the final product turn out the way you had thought?
Were you able to build it using the tools, materials and equipment that you had first thought?
Suggest ways in which you might improve the plan and production if you were to create this project again.
Consider your choice of materials, finishes (paints etc) use of time, tools used, techniques attempted etc..
