Student Team Project Final
Presentations
|
This quarter eight student teams have been
working to identify a particular need for users of assistive technology and to
design, fabricate, and test a prototype device to address that need.
Each student team will give their final
project presentation.
The student teams' presentations should
include the following points:
- Introduction of team and its
members
- Background, statement & magnitude of
problem
- Interactions with project suggestors and
potential users who would benefit from a solution
- Identification / determination of
need
- Research of existing products and
discussion of limitations
- Description and visualization of design
concepts considered and prototypes built
- Discussion of selected design: technical
and engineering elements, estimated cost, user acceptance, functionality,
performance, safety considerations, tradeoffs, etc
- Visualization and demonstration of final
prototype: photographs and/or video of operation with user
- Future work: improvements and challenges
for continuing the project
The overall quality of the presentation and
the design concept will be judged by the teaching team, community members, and
other students using the following metrics:
- Process: problem identification,
research, brainstorming, design selection, fabrication, testing, and
evaluation
- Presentation: clarity,
organization, and completeness of the information presented
- Design: creativity, originality,
functionality of the design as well as the extent to which it meets the user's
needs
Individuals evaluating the team project
presentations will have the opportunity to provide their comments:
- What did the team learn, what are your
LIKES and WISHES about what they did, and what are your recommendations,
suggestions, and advice for the team?
- Please provide comments and suggestions
about the course, projects, and presentation process.
