| Description: | Student team powerpoint presentation in a six week freshman/ sophomore module on Human-Centered Sustainable Design. This team's mission was to develop versatile and attractive dorm room furniture for students. The presentation outlines their steps in the design process, including mission statement, user needs, personas, brainstorming, metaphors, conceptual design, numerical evaluation matrix, concept selection, detailed design, materials selection, prototypes, and sustainability. The lab sections use the CAD Labs and FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) equipment on the 2nd floor of Etcheverry Hall. This is a six week module in Engineering 10: Engineering Design and Analysis, is an introduction to the profession of engineering and its different disciplines through a variety of modular design and analysis projects. Hands-on creativity, teamwork, and effective communication are emphasized. Common lecture sessions in E10 address the essence of engineering design, the practice of engineering analysis, the societal context for engineering projects and the ethics of the engineering profession. Students develop design and analysis skills, and practice applying these skills to illustrative problems drawn from various engineering majors. |
