AC Powered Backpack ProjectAbstractThe human powered backpack1 was developed by four senior mechanical engineering majors atRice University. The backpack was targeted for students in rural third world countries whereelectrical power is rare or non-existent at home. The concept was to have local power foreducational devices available at the student’s home to augment classroom instruction.This project required collecting data from schools in different third world locations to establishthe need. The project was done in the students’ capstone design course and in conjunction withthe Schlumberger Excellence in Educational Development5 (SEED) Foundation. The SEEDprogram provides support to schools in many of the countries where Schlumberger Ltd

world, innovative,multi-disciplinary product design and build projects. More than developingproducts, the program desires to develop business opportunities that will lead tolocal economic development. To implement these projects, the followingchallenges had to be overcome: 1. A stream of innovative product ideas had to be generated and sustained. 2. Since the products are innovative, the program had to be able to deal with the partial success of a product prototype or concept. 3. The interdisciplinary nature of product development had to be replicated in the functionally divided university setting which contained significant opposition to classes that integrated different

. However, an open-ended design project at the heart of this course is the primary team-based experiential “vehicle” used for student learning.This course focuses on both design methodology and design application. The methodologyinvolves gaining an understanding of the product development process (PDP), the fundamentalsof project management, and aspects of design theory (e.g., design for manufacture, design for theenvironment, robust design, etc.). Currently, this material is taught in the standard format oflectures and tutorials and is assessed using quizzes.The second and larger aspect is design application, where the design methodology is applied to ateam-based, open-ended project. Assessment of this aspect of the course is primarily
