During the ongoing course of my senior design project I have been able actively implement and incorporate the design strategies and approaches I learned in my Design Project class (BME 437) I have attended last year’s fall. The skills I have gained throughout the class include: Product Development Process, Product Design, Literature Searches, Project Planning and Scheduling, Food and Drug Administration Design Controls, Engineering Ethics and Technical Presenting. My team and I are designing an Actuated
a truss to support a point load, placed at 190mm from the edge of a 450mm gap. The vertical face of the trusses is modelled on the already established ‘K’ truss design, but the overall shape of the structure is our own. There are three ‘K’ units on each truss. The two vertical faces are held together at the top by another truss-like design. We modelled this on the ‘N’ truss. The truss is constructed from hot-dog sticks, glue and bolts. Introduction The task was to construct a truss out of
Abstract: The purpose of this instructional design project was to create and evaluate an interactive PDF module on establishing a hybrid learning course for the Vietnamese teachers of English at the Center for Foreign Affairs and Language Training (CEFALT) in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam. The module provided the teachers with basic concepts about hybrid learning, skills in using Ning (a social network site) for class, effective incorporation of available technologies into a lesson plan, and a framework
Integrated Project Delivery System in contrast with Design Build and Construction Management at Risk Introduction and Background to the Problem Integrated project delivery (IPD) includes extensive partnership needed for the present day dense construction. The American Institute of Architects (AIA) defines IPD as “a project delivery approach that integrates people, systems, business structures, and practices into a process that collaboratively harnesses the talents and insights of all project participants
During the ITEC 7445 Multimedia and Web Design course, I created a WebQuest that demonstrates my ability to develop, model and facilitate the use of online and blended learning. The Multimedia Design Project artifact is a blended learning project that includes face-to-face instruction as well as web-based online learning. In my ITEC 7460 Professional Learning & Technology Innovation course, I was able to develop, model, and facilitate a professional development in which I was able to train teachers
large-scale software systems, at that time most of software developer are working on multi-year projects and designed software for large computer systems that evolved relatively slowly. To develop large-scale software systems that involve by many developer, there is a need for a base programming paradigm or model that represent the whole project. The waterfall methodology was modeled according to hardware design projects that has been used for years which allow engineers to predict how pieces of a system would
Research Design Research design is considered as one of the most important steps in the research process.it includes decision making regarding the purpose of the study,its location type,and the degree of manipulation and control by the research Sekaran(2003).It is the outline and specification of the whole research procedure which needs to be followed by the researcher in order to achieve the research objectives or test the hypothesis formulated for the study (McDaniel & Gates,1999). The quantitative
history. A thorough investigation revealed fatal flaws in the design of the walkway which indicated it could not hold such a heavy load. However, it was discovered that the bridge may have prevailed had it not been for carelessness and unethical shortcuts on the part of the engineer in charge of the project.
‘partner’ in the design process. According to them ‘tough customers’ stimulate superior designs (Gardiner and Rothwell, 1985). Miller et al. (1995) echo this argument and drew attention to the role of the customer as a key source of knowledge for complex product innovation. Albers and walker (1997) also stress that change has to be driven by the customer. In the construction industry context, Slaughter (2000) asserts that the complex ‘multi-agent’ nature of construction projects requires the collaborative
The reliability in designs to design a new product is challenging issue for any industry in the present world. Designing a new product which is more reliable and standard is a head bursting problem for all. Engineering design field is vast field. Any design can’t pass to the final design stage at its first design. It takes many different phases before it is approved to enter into the manufacturing process. An engineer should be clear about which method to follow to meet the companies requirement
NASA Crane Project was a project in which we designed a crane out of cardboard and pencils and attached a cup with string to the end. The goal was to lift as many batteries as possible in the cups. You were not allowed to touch the cups and the only way that you could lift them was via a string that was wrapped around a pencil at the back of the crane that was twisted. Only 30 batteries could be in each cup, and to have more batteries you had to add more cups. We used the engineering design process
very early age. The idea of a conventional mother branch like mechanical engineering conceiving advanced interdisciplinary design based applications like biomechanics, robotics seemed irresistible. The passion for science was already deep founded in me during my school days when I used to build various projects and models in science fair each year. My first multidisciplinary project was a fabricated human model to demonstrate the blood circulatory system by making use of mini centrifugal pump, red colored
Design and build can appeal to clients because it offers one purpose of responsibility for delivering the whole project. Some clients but contemplate it 's solely acceptable for easy comes, wherever style quality isn 't the most thought. The contractor can either be appointed to carry out all of the design work, or if the client needs to possess bigger influence over the design, a concept design and description (or performance) specification will be ready by a consultants used by the client, so
worked on a diverse range of creative projects, some of which were acquired though Go Wales (University Careers) and the WCVA (National Voluntary Sector Agency), while others were self sort enabling me to utilise and expand on my creative, organisational and software skills. As a designer, I have assisted on a variety of publications and marketing materials for organisations such as Age Concern and Cardiff University Careers Service, furnishing me with practical design and software experience and improving
past few years, design thinking has made its breakthrough on education, business, and design fields. Design thinking is basically a new interactive process of thinking, or problem-solving method for the resolution of problems. Which differs from traditional design approaches in specific ways. It involves more creative and user-centered design approach. ‘You cannot hold a design in your hand. It is not a thing. It is a process. A system. A way of thinking.’ Bob Gill, Graphic Design as a Second Language
comparison of percentage of cost of rework from previous research. 2.1 Definition of rework Every construction project is unique in nature and problems occurred are unpredictable. A lot of activities are involved in one project. So rework cannot be avoidable. Rework & wastages is recognized as non-value adding items which affects the performance and productivity of construction projects (Alwi, 2002). There are various terms associated with rework such as non-conformance, quality deviations, quality
in the classrooms to the next level and was successful in securing the final year project of “Designing of Pipeline for Refinery Effluent”, a real time industrial assignment of Pakistan Refinery Limited which is considered as one of the leading oil and gas companies in Pakistan.
to most of his design decisions, a map that depicts the pockets in the manor and how Morris was inspired by it. In addition to this, an original drawing of the Kelmscott Manor’s exterior that depicts how the manor amalgamated within the garden. To reinforce this, I picked a watercolor of the Kelmscott Manor and a photo that captivates the various perspectives of the garden in the manor. Moving on to his designs that interprets
and the residential housing design is getting more concerned than ever before. There are many design principles of residential architecture; one of them is W.B.D principles. The concept of "wholes" starts at 1926, Jan Christian Smuts, a South African Prime Minister and philosopher, coined the term "holism". He insisted that
With the help of architectural engineers, our world has become very civilized and advanced over the past decades. Like all other engineers, architectural engineers use logic and creativity to solve problems. They come up with effective designs to assist people in their everyday tasks. In our daily lives we are surrounded by buildings. Places that were once a dessert are turned into cities that now hold amazing buildings. When we think of big, tall, and creative buildings, we think of places like
