Each student project team will give an
informal presentation on the progress of their project which will include the
following points:
- Introduction to project and team members
- Background, problem statement, and magnitude of
problem
- Interviews with project suggestors and users who would
benefit from a solution
- Identification and determination of need
- Research on existing solutions and discussion of their
limitations
- Brainstorm activities: description and visualization of
design concepts considered and prototypes built
- Description of top designs: technical feasibility,
engineering difficulty, estimated cost, user acceptance, functionality,
performance, safety considerations, tradeoffs, etc
- Current project activities and status, prototypes
built, and 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:
- Delivery: (How the team
presented) - professionalism, enthusiasm, conviction, confidence, energy,
volume
- Process: (How the team
addressed the problem) - problem information, background research, design
concepts brainstormed & prototyped, testing & evaluation
- Presentation: (What the team
presented) - clarity, organization, and completeness of the information
presented
- Design: (What the team
produced) - creativity, originality, functionality of the design concept(s) and
the likelihood it will meet the user's needs
- Overall: (Overall score) -
combined impression of presentation and project
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.
