of Indianapolis (UIndy) has partnered with the Community Health Network(CHNw) to address the food insecurity related issues among the residents of the South IndyQuality of Life Plan (SoIndy) in two community organic gardens. The goal of the Watering forCommunity Gardens project is to design and construct a watering system for the UniversityHeights community garden. Employing a Design for Six Sigma framework (DFSS) under theDesignSpine™ design model at UIndy, the team began the process by conducting interviewswith the client and interns who work in the garden. The Voice of the Customer DFSS tools thatwere utilized in this project, includes translation worksheets and KJ Analysis. These were used tohelp solicit and evaluate requirements that
in. With the attachment being designed forsimplicity, material and manufacturing cost remain low, making the attachment appealable tousers. This simplicity allows for repairs and maintenance to be carried out by individuals withlittle mechanical knowledge. BUV Ministry plans to implement this solution as an optionalattachment for those end users that choose it. Currently, the team is working on material testingfor the pouch material and the methods to attach these materials together. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2021
Stanford d.School, such astranslation worksheets and empathetic interview, the team identified and honed in on a set ofcritical requirements needed for the treadmill’s redesign. Next, the team moved on to the ideationand conceptual design phase to develop either a design focused on retrofitting an existingtreadmill or creating a more robust treadmill design. This process, after receiving feedback at theend of a planned stage gate review, ultimately produced a novel custom treadmill design thatreduces the overall time needed to simulate different terrains during a patient's therapy session.With help from expert designers, the team came up with a custom design that will allow thetherapists to easily and safely remove slats and replace them in a
