of the project includedconsultation with the local authorities, politicians, personalization of the school and clinic by thebuilding users, and development of a master plan for the village. Activities included communityfocus group and mapping sessions. Drawing workshops for the village children were alsoconducted with the intention of integrating the children’s artwork into the project design. Whilethe physical output of these activities was important, gaining an understanding of the socialinteractions (i.e. identity and social “performances”) was deemed critical to developing aproposal that was responsive to the needs of the community. Investigations were also conductedinto local archetypes, construction methodologies and materials

eighteenundergraduate students that hail from different disciplines, we are currently in the beginningstages of implementing a fully-functional maker space in the primary library for undergraduates.Our planning was and is strongly informed by the Stanford d.school method of design thinkingconsisting of five fundamental steps of: empathizing, defining, ideation, prototyping, and testing.Using this method as a framework, we will describe our experiences with the development,design, and implementation of a student-led makerspace. Given that it is rare for students on ourcampus to take on a task as seemingly large as developing a makerspace, we feel it is necessaryto highlight the resources and infrastructure needed in terms of people, facilities, and funding

It was envisaged that with the new program, opportunities wouldarise for students in other disciplines to have a minor degree in GIS. This would have increasedthe use of the GIS resources in the library. The status of the new program will be discussed laterin this paper.The implementation of the geospatial data visualization support system began with the purchaseof a dedicated computer and proprietary software ArcGISTM, together with some digitaldatabases to compliment current collection within the Penn State University system.

Based on this recommendation we developed a planto acquire additional space for the dedicated CCL.The contents of this paper describe: 1) the overall conceptual plan of the CCL, 2) the requiredtechnology systems, 3) the phased construction schedule, 4) the funding mechanisms used toconstruct the classroom/laboratory, and 5) student and faculty

solving methodologies tend to tie process to products [1]. At eachstep in the process, one or more products are developed to help bridge the gap betweenthe problem space and the solution space. Our methodology is no different. We beginwith the standard lifecycle process for a system (see Figure 1) [2]. Each step in theprocess has an associated product. During the analysis phase, the students are taught todevelop a simplified Problem Specification. During the design phase, the studentsdevelop an algorithm using either pseudocode or a flowchart that attempts to answer theProblem Spec. At this point, the test plan is also developed.

The plans are available on-lineat Nimcoinc.com for a low cost. The original plans were simplified in order to reduce thenumber of components to 12. This was done to allow sufficient time to manufacture all of theparts necessary for the assembly. Since the intent of this pilot program was to introduce moremanufacturing engineering to the students, the first step included reverse engineering the unit bydisassembly, inspection, and documentation.
