- Module Objective 8: Students will be able to prepare structured summaries of design tool use and results that possess appropriate structure, grammar, and tone (CLO3)
- Module Objective 9: Students will able to explain/communicate the final design concept process to diverse audiences using written and oral presentation methods (CLO4)
- Module Objective 10: Students will be able to apply project management tools to meet deadlines (CLO1, CL02)
- Module Objective 11: Students will be able to justify a final design concept proposal by assessing the generated concepts (CLO4)
Module Highlights
In this module students will review/read content, which includes watching videos. Some videos are quiz-based and/or interactive. The module ends with an industry perspective on the content (Vermeer Co.). There will be activities that will test for understanding of module content. In this module the content will prepare students to work in their design teams to analyze by performing a functional analysis and developing morphology (form). These are key inputs in concept generation. Teams will work to develop 3-4 conceptual ideas by connecting the functional analysis and morphological matrix. The result of this module will be to assess the 3-4 concepts generated in the House of Quality Decision Matrix (HoQ w/DM) to determine the final concept that will become a prototype at the end of the semester. Additionally, students will update their original “draft” project plan to include more defined work that can be distributed based on final design decision form the HoQ. Students will be able to prepare structured summaries of design tool use and results that possess appropriate structure, grammar and tone. Teams will experience consensus building as they work through the assignments associated with this module, and utilize DMADVR toolbox templates to complete associated assignments.
Teams will complete Peer Review 1. Students will individually complete a peer review to assess team members(s) and self performance regarding teamwork.
