Useful information can be gatheredabout intangible attributes of the product and unarticulated user needs by observing the user andthe customization done by her/ him.22 Many such scenarios for empathic design have beendescribed by Leonard and Rayport22 and are discussed in the paragraphs below. When thedesigner/engineer is observing the user’s interactions with the product, they can identifyintangible attributes of the product that affect the user’s interaction or choice, but may not beexplicitly mentioned by the user in a survey or focus group.The steps in an

Engineers learn and exercise their theories and practiceswithin particular social settings - within classrooms, within a laboratory, and during the designreview (Bucciarelli, 2001 , p. 298). In this study we consider the studio environment as a socialclassroom setting (where some laboratory facilities are within the students reach) and wherestudents are engage in the process of design.

We present the implementation of this activity in our optical engineeringand engineering physics capstone design course; sample activity materials will also be providedand discussed.Students are tasked with designing a widget capable of holding a heavy weight at a minimumheight off a table. Specifications are provided on the maximum widget size and allowablematerials which can be used. The activity is organized as a competition with a goal ofmaximizing profit – revenue earned per widget less the cost per widget (material costs,development costs, labor, and cost of poor quality). Students are allowed to choose their teamsize (there are advantages and disadvantages to both small and large teams) and given time todesign and prototype

Students in the Junior level Machine Design course are taught to consider the variability of materials, manufacturing processes, and unpredictable factors of products in service such as variable loading, and the necessity for a factor of Safety. They analyze the empirical nature of fatigue analysis, and apply fundamental concepts of uncertainty in designing components.” • R8.14: “We focus on teaching them how to deal with uncertainty through prototyping and

For example,the capstone course requires students to make four oral presentations (including a posterpresentation and a final presentation) and to submit three reports and a professional logbook.APSC 170 and APSC 258 projects include interactive tutorials, laboratory work and designcompetitions. All of these factors contribute to the development of students’ interpersonal andcommunication skills. The majority of students generally agreed to this, as can be seen in Table 8and Figure 9.

and experimentation: Unfortunately, the advent of the computer and itsimpact on teaching engineering has made it easy to produce computer-based models at theexpense of physical models. This fact is behind a general trend of teaching applied engineeringsubjects with minimal students’ involvement with physical set-ups including laboratoryexperiments. Carrying out laboratory experiments and generating experimental data, visiting aproject site, and using pencil and paper to produce a schematic, are gradually fading away. Thesetraditional tools were instrumental in developing an engineering common sense. It is argued herethat generating data from physical models is potentially a great learning tool, particularly whenthe model is built by the

Deep Orange requires students to collaborate and interact with each other and with faculty on a regular basis in a permanent collaborative space (resembling a studio).
