Mid-term Student
Team Project Presentations |
Students working on team projects have
chosen a problem / or challenge experienced by individuals with disabilities
and older adults and have been working to research, brainstorm, design,
fabricate, and test a prototype device or software to address it.
Presentation order:

Each student project team will give a
presentation on the progress of their project which will include the following
points:
- Introduction of team and its
members
- Brief abstract
- Statement of problem
- Magnitude of problem addressed by
this project
- Discussion of interviews with those
who suggested the project and potential users
- Summary of design
criteria
- Identification of existing solutions
and discussion of their limitations
- Description of brainstormed design
concepts
- Analysis of considered design
alternatives
- Description of top selected design
concepts, including their technical feasibility, engineering difficulty,
estimated cost, user acceptance, safety considerations, etc
- Design visualizations: photographs,
videos, sketches, drawings, models, and prototypes
- Future work and challenges for
continuing the project toward fabrication and testing with users
Other presentation considerations and
suggestions: (Due to the limited class time for presentations, there will be no
opportunity for discussion or for teams to field questions.)
- Project status - what has been
done, what remains
- Problems encountered, resolved, and
pending
- Expenses expected if the project is
to be continued into the Spring Quarter
- 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 on the overall quality of their presentation, the
effectiveness of their design process, and the progress made toward a design
solution using the following metrics:
- Presentation & Delivery:
Presentation: (What the team presented) - clarity, organization, and
completeness of the information presented. 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, tested, and evaluated
- Design: (What the team
produced) - creativity, originality, functionality of the design concept &
prototypes and the likelihood it will meet the user's challenges
- Overall: (Overall score) -
combined impression of presentation and project effort
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?
- Comments and suggestions about the
course, projects, and presentation process.
