End-of-term Student
Project Presentations
|
This quarter students 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 or report on
an assistive technology topic. Each student will give a formal presentation
detailing their project activities. Please note that this was a seven-week
individual project effort and the students' prototypes are not intended to
represent commercial offerings.

The end-of-term project fabrication
presentations should include the following elements:
- Introduction of student 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.
- Presentation: (What
& How the student(s) presented) - clarity, organization, and
completeness of the information presented & professionalism, enthusiasm,
conviction, confidence, energy, volume
- Project: (What the
student(s) produced) - quality and completeness of the report or creativity,
originality, functionality of the design concept and the likelihood it will
meet the user's needs
Individuals evaluating the project
presentations will have the opportunity to provide their comments:
- What are your LIKES and WISHES about
what the student(s) did, and what are your recommendations, suggestions, and
advice for the student(s)?
- Please provide comments and
suggestions about the course, projects, and presentation process.
