CORE TOPICS

  • 7 -- USER-CENTRED DESIGN

ESSENTIAL IDEAS 

  • The fundamental principle of UCD is that understanding the needs of the users is the key to designing the best products and services.

CLASS ACTIVITIES   

  • Hope you guys had a great break!
  • Let's talk about the mini golf holes
    • Sorry about the Schoology thing -- my laptop wouldn't connect to the WIFI at my house...
    • Again, you need to upload 4 different pdf detailed drawings.  Each one should have orthographic drawings with at least two views (but that depends on what you made...) and ONE SHADED projection (isometric?) so I can see what it actually looks like in 3D.   There also needs to be a brief description/annotations that describe what's happening with each hole!
    • I'll give you a few minutes to upload this...  
  • Next let's talk about UCD (that's Topic 7!)
    • In the interest of easing back into school (Codega needs it after not being here for a week and a half!) let's just take it easy and getting a baseline understanding of the unit
    • This means that we have to ANNOTATE this handout.  Yea, I know, not the most interesting way to spend a class period but you'll need this stuff next May so it's time well spent.
    • Next class we'll take some notes and watch some videos so don't worry -- it'll get more interesting! 

HOMEWORK

  • None?!?!?!?! But I'm sure Melvin and Baggett have something for you to do...

 

11/19 - 11/25 

  • Watch some PSA's 
  • Let's see if we can get some stuff done!  We'll start new content when we get back after Thanksgiving!
  • Part 1 is completing the research and starting to mess with OnShape
    • FYI -- a mini golf hole is usually 30-45 feet and 2.5 - 3 feet wide.  This does NOT have to be linear (in fact, it really really really really shouldn't be) and should reflect your creativity.    
    • Also, the cup has a diameter of 4.25 inches with a depth of 4-6 inches (yes, all three cups need to use these dimension!)
  • DAY 2 / 3
      • Your job is to make 4 mini golf holes individually (that's by yourself!) that share a theme (but are all different!)
    • Please submit to Codega as a series of pdf detailed drawings. 
      • Make sure each whole has has a few views (whatever makes sense for your design) as well as a complete shaded view.  Also include a brief description of each hole so I know what it is.
      • Thanks!!! 
    • GOOD LUCK!  
  • This is going to take a while if you do it right.
  • I'll have a Schoology assignment ready to go on Monday (11/25) that will serve as your attendance for this class.   

 

11/15

CORE TOPICS

1 -- Human Factors and Ergonomics

  • 1.1a -- Anthropometrics
  • 1.1b -- Psychological Factors
  • 1.1c -- Physiological Factors

ESSENTIAL IDEAS 

  • Designers consider three human factors to ensure that products meet ergonomic needs.

CLASS ACTIVITIES  

  • Ummmm....yea....so the online slicing software I use is...not great!  On the other one I used you could position multiple gcode files for one print but can't for this one so....I need you to resubmit just the stl file via schoology.  Thanks! 
  • Take a look at the other human factors of design!
    • Working in small groups complete the following assignment:
      • Create a commercial/Public Service Announcement reminding designers to consider Physiological or Psychological Factors into their designs.
        • Codega will assign your group a physiological or Psychological factor.
        • These Docs will help with the content -- Topic 1 Overview Part 1B.pdf  Topic 1 Overview Part 2.pdf  
        • Your PSA must include the following:
          • A video 1:00 - 1:30 long
          • A brief definition of your term
          • A design context for the factor and an example of it in the real world!
          • Some sort of slogan/catch phrase/whatever to help people remember to consider your factor.
          • A bit of music (just to make it interesting...)
          • Some kind of credits 
      • Here are the topics -- each group will do 2: 
        • Environmental Factor (Psychological Factor) -  Thermal Comfort
        • Environmental Factor (Psychological Factor) -  Noise
        • Environmental Factor (Psychological Factor) -  Humidity
        • Environmental Factor (Psychological Factor) -  Lighting
        • Physiological Factor - Biomechanics 
        • Physiological Factor - Comfort and fatigue 
      • And the RUBRIC 
    • What makes a good PSA you ask?  Check these out! 
  • These will be due
    • ???  We can discuss!

TOPIC 3 - Modeling

13 Class Periods

11/7

CORE TOPIC

  • 3.5 -- Rapid Prototyping  

ESSENTIAL IDEA/OBJECTIVES

  • Rapid prototyping is the production of a physical model of a design using three-dimensional CAD data. 

CLASS ACTIVITIES 

 

11/4

CORE TOPIC 

  • 3.4 -- Computer-aided design (CAD) 

ESSENTIAL IDEA/OBJECTIVES

  • A computer aided design is the generation, creation, development and analysis of a design or system using computer software.

CLASS ACTIVITIES   

  • Let's take down the race tracks
    • My step son's schedule never really worked out and I need the space for the KOS Debate after we get back from Election Day so....
      • But really, great job on these! 
  • Next I'll check the graphic organizer for a minor
  • Then I'll check the OnShape certificate for a MAJOR
  • Then we'll use the skills you learned by creating this:
    • A keychain that is an original design!  Please do not find files online and try to incorporate them into your design.  This must be from YOUR BRAIN!!!!!!!!
    • It has to be:
      • less than 75mm long
      • less than 50mm wide
        • No more than 8mm high (anything over needs to be approved) 
      • a non rectangular/square shape (its got to have curves!) but also not just a circle or another preset shape -- MAKE SOMETHING ORIGINAL!
      •  have a hole 4mm (diameter) for the key ring (near the edge but not too close or else it will break off -- the internet seems to agree that 2-3 mm from the edge will give you enough strength). 
      • At least one part that is raised above the face
      • At least one part that is lowered below the face
    • This is a MAJOR assessment!  And I'll print them for you too! 

HOMEWORK

  • The files (exported as a .stl AND as a pdf isometric drawing with dimensions and multiple views) are due AT THE START of next class!

CLASS ACTIVITIES   

  • We'll test the tracks on TUESDAY
    • The kiddos had a thing and I had to give a quiz / a project that's a bit hard to explain with a sub.  Anyway, sorry for the delay and you are more than welcome to still come in at advisory and at lunch to fine tune them!
  • This is a choose your own adventure couple of class periods...
    • We are going to run this like a tech startup.  The only thing that matters is that you get the work done -- how you get there is up to you, but be warned...there will be NO extensions and NO grace given if you don't meet the deadlines without having a really good reason... 
  • Read and annotate the Unit 3 handout -- it's about MODELING! 
    • Complete this graphic organizer for all things CAD (this topic shows up on the exam fairly regularly so I want to make sure you have something durable to hold onto for the next 18 months...) 3_4_CAD_Graphic Organizer.pdf 
  • Then we dive into actually using CAD 

HOMEWORK

  • The OnShape Fundamentals certificate of completion AND the annotations AND the graphic organizer are due at the start of class on 11/4!

        • Daniel
        • Shaefer 
    • Assignment: 
      • Create a mock up of a new Hot Wheels track for two 9 year old boys with very specific interests:
        • Fortnight 
        • Harry Potter 
        • Baseball    
        • Soccer 
        • Dogs -- particularly our dog Charlie (she's a queen!)
          •  
        • Marvel
        • DC (like Batman and stuff -- not our nations capitol)
        • History 
    • As with any design, this project needs to start with a CONCEPTUAL Model -- in this case it's going to be some napkin sketches and then the construction of a scaled down physical model.
    •  
      •  
    •  

The design specifications for your test track are as follows:

  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AM7IPsMgZmI
  • It must include a steep decline (in order to give the car enough forward motion)
  • It must include an up slope of some kind (small hill)
  • It must include two or more of the following features (more than two will result in extra credit points):
  • It must be made of cardboard
  • It must be at least six feet in length (but you will probably need to make it longer in order to meet the criteria and build up enough speed)
  • The car must be able to travel from the start to the finish of the test track at least once while testing by Codega as well as Jack and James (the users). 
  • I AM NOT GIVING YOU A GRADE (unless of course it doesn't work while testing -- then you get a 7...out of 100).
    • Instead I'm going to give the boys a rubric and THEY will grade them.  Your group will receive an average of the grade given by the two kiddos... 

Have fun with this but be sure to keep the following in mind:

  • Remember the MARSHMALLOW -- that is, test throughout the process, even if it's just small sections at a time -- don't just wait until the end and then complain if your car doesn't make it! 
  • If your car fails to complete the test track that you create then your grade will too.  DO NOT TRY ME ON THIS!
  • Be creative but don't get hung up on making it crazy/pursuing the extra credit -- fulfill the basic requirements and THEN look to add/go after the EC.

  • The (Codega modified) Marshmallow Challenge
    • You have 18 minutes to create the highest free standing structure out of 20 sticks of spaghetti, one yard of tape, one yard of string, and one marshmallow (which goes on top).
    • We will measure to see who has the highest one that remains standing.
    • Watch the TED Talk about the marshmallow challenge
      •  
    • After the first round we will do it again, but this time you must take 5 minutes to first reflect on what went well and what could be improved and THEN create a NAPKIN sketch of your new design.  After that time you will build it again, this time with only 13 minutes. 
    • We will measure again.  The winning group will be the team that has the highest TOTAL height (remember, only buildings that remain standing will count towards the total) will get the  remaining marshmallows.
  • Next we'll talk about your CONCEPTUAL / GRAPHICAL modeling project
