Her family owned a restaurant in Mexico and they needed the stove as soon as possible. To solve this problem, Laura and her family designed a stove made out of inexpensive raw materials, including adobe, empty coffee and soup cans, barro (a mixture of clay materials), and a pipe. They also repurposed an antique washing machine, called chaca-chaca (as it is commonly known in Mexico for the sound it makes during the washing cycle), by disassembling it and using

With this intention in mind, the UTAs typically circulatedthrough the classroom in the second half of the semester during “work days” when the first-yearstudents were working on the provisional patent application assignment. Further, UTAs offeredoffice hours and selected a location in the student work area. Secondarily, the UTAs took fieldnotes following semi-structured observational guidelines that described the interactions andactivities in the discussion section. The UTAs met with the research team to review the fieldnotes and deliberate on the activities every other week for the duration of the

This is especially true for technicalreport writing in engineering laboratory assignments, where students tend to not perceivesituations in which an audience might exist [26]. Instead, they tend to write as a means to justifythat they followed their laboratory and technical processes accurately, with an audience (i.e., aninstructor) in mind who has sufficient expertise to judge this.Although a common place to focus on writing in engineering has been short and long reports inlaboratory courses [20, 23, 26-30], others argue for a broader

There is aneed to reliably capture student learning about complex and dynamic socio-technical systemswithout privileging an assessment tool that a priori evaluates “more is better”. With that in mind this manuscript addresses three key issues in this area. The firstobjective, efficiency, is to interrogate the use of concept maps to capture student learning aboutthe complexity of socio-technical systems in large-scale engineering programs where a review ofeach individual map would require extensive time investments. Conducting the conceptmapping exercise and analysis strategy are impacted under this objective. This leads to thesecond objective, methodological development, which assesses how complexity can be evaluatedin

It adds a constraint to all your designs, which usually ends up improving it because eventually, even if you did design something without the human aspect in mind, you would have to incorporate that eventually because humans are usually always the users.Here, Sebastian emphasizes HCD as part of EPICS when considering both immediate andhypothetical or future users.
