Student Team Project
Final Presentations
|
This quarter nine student teams have
been addressing problems experienced by individuals with disabilities or older
adults and have been working to research, brainstorm, design, fabricate, and
test a prototype device or software to meet the identified problem. Each
project team will give a formal presentation detailing their project
activities. Please note that this was a seven-week team project effort and the
students' prototypes are not intended to represent commercial
offerings.
Presentation order:

- Introduction of team, its members,
and project
- Background: statement of problem,
its magnitude, and user population
- Interactions with project
suggestors and individuals who would benefit from a solution
- Identification and determination of
need
- Research of existing products and
discussion of their 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 of final prototype:
photographs and/or video of operation with a user
- Plans for the future: improvements
and challenges for continuing the project
Judge the overall quality of the
presentation, design process, prototyped concepts 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
- Content: (What the team
presented) - clarity, organization, and completeness of the information
presented
- Design: (What the team
produced) - creativity, originality, functionality of the design concept and
the likelihood it will meet the user's needs
- Overall: (Overall score) -
combined impression of presentation and project
Individuals evaluating the team project
