Mid-term Student Team Project
Presentations |
Student teams have chosen a problem
experienced by individuals with disabilities and have been working to research,
brainstorm, design, fabricate, and test a prototype device or software to meet
an identified need.
Each student project team will give an
informal presentation on the progress of their project.
The student teams' presentations will include
the following points:
- Introduction of team members including team and project
names
- Background, statement and magnitude of problem
- Interviews with project suggestors and potential users who
would benefit from a solution
- Identification / determination of need
- Research of existing solutions and discussion of their
limitations
- Brainstorm activities: description and visualization of
design concepts considered and prototypes built
- Description of preferred design: technical feasibility,
engineering difficulty, estimated cost, user acceptance, functionality,
performance, safety considerations, tradeoffs, etc
- Current project activities and status, including challenges
encountered
- Plans for the remainder of the quarter
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,
background research, design concepts brainstormed and prototyped, project
progress
- Presentation: clarity,
organization, and completeness of the information presented
- Design: creativity, originality,
functionality of the design concepts and the likelihood they will meet 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.
