Expectations: Brighton Product Lab Product Research 2: Introduction

Assessment: Report (DP 261, 262, 263) Report : (also needs to address the EWB in its format) Well presented, 4000 word document submitted to Student. Central (Turnitin) Following the guidelines for EWB structure www. ewb-uk. org/engineering-for-people/guidance/the-grand-finals/rules-prizes-andjudging-criteria/ Brighton Product Lab

Assessment: Report : Research DP 261: 1. Content: research about context, for example: • • the people, area, infrastructure and other primary issues to be addressed. Include evidence of how this is applied to the design and your subsequent ideation process. Meets EWB Criteria: 1 a to 1 d. The process the team went through to identify their design criteria (Research, DP 261)) Brighton Product Lab

Assessment: Report Research DP 261 Learning Outcomes • Investigate the requirements of people in the developing world through secondary research. • Communicate how the environment, culture and infrastructure inform a design problem. • Work effectively as a team to coordinate the gathering of research Note: • your research and work towards this should be shared on a Student. Central Wiki. This will later provide a word count to back up your peer review of the teams contribution Brighton Product Lab

Assessment: Report : Ideation DP 262 Outcomes : Create a range of ideas: • • • Brighton Product Lab Use visual tools to map possible solution areas to be addressed for energy requirements against possible technologies that could help. Ideate a range of concepts to address the targeted area. Work effectively as a team to arrive at a shortlist of possible ideas.

Assessment: Report : Development DP 263 Outcomes : Technical: Clear communication of your solution/s and viability • Demonstrate effectiveness through calculations or other evidence. • Explain why solution/s are appropriate for the context you have outlined. • A proof of principle model should be created, either: • virtual, through CAD • or alternatively sketch models but to scale, not full size. Meet EWB criteria 2 a-2 b Brighton Product Lab

Assessment: Report : Development DP 263 Outcomes : Human Factors: • Evaluate the design against the social, environmental, economic and cultural context of the community, including ergonomic considerations. • Provide advice on the operation of a design for those who may not be able to read or understand technical information. • Evaluate the long-term durability and sustainability of a design for such a community. Meet EWB criteria 2 a-2 b Brighton Product Lab

Assessment: Presentation: Launch An innovative group presentation, that can include a short video or ‘sizzle’ in the style of a kick starter promotion. This will demonstrate a. how it benefits people b. How it works Brighton Product Lab

Assessment part 2 15% Presentation: – a brief presentation approx. 5 minutes – Powerpoint/Prezi, or can be a ‘sizzle’, which is a brief video created using any media you prefer. – – Overview of the design, the background research about the context, How does it work? Evidence to demonstrate its effectiveness, include CAD drawings Brighton Product Lab

Presentation / sizzle Example Sizzle: https: //www. indiegogo. com/projects/gravitylight-2 -made-in-africa#/. Brighton Product Lab

Group Assessment How is teamwork considered? EWB requires: An evaluation of what you have learned, the group success, challenges and roles. For your University Assessment : Fill in and include the contribution template Include a link to your material in a WIKI on Student. Central. The WIKI should include: • an account of research, • weekly summaries of meetings and conclusions about the ideation of the design, • Who does what for the report Brighton Product Lab

What to think about. . Brighton Product Lab Product Research 2: Introduction

What to think about Understand the context Keep people’s needs in mind Think systems Brighton Product Lab Dr Eddy Elton

What to think about Nepal : locals did not use biogas (a healthy alternative to naked flames) …. Expensive to buy the cookers Part of the solution: householders buy a simple connection kit then use local clay to make their own ! Brighton Product Lab Dr Eddy Elton

What to think about Social barriers… 58% declined biogas due to potential changes in the community. 96% of those that gathered dung were female. . Brighton Product Lab Dr Eddy Elton

What to think about Combined with: small community biogas plants By keeping the size of the plants small, we can reduce the costs and the plant is quicker to build. ” Incentives were introduced to avoid the cultural problems of women being the fuel collectors. Addressed the small community size and costs. Included incentives. Brighton Product Lab Dr Eddy Elton

What to think about Systems approach. . Local knowledge Brighton Product Lab Dr Eddy Elton

What to think about EG What is wrong with this instructional drawing for the people concerned? Empathy: Communication & understanding Brighton Product Lab

What to think about Better…. . Brighton Product Lab

Brighton Product Lab

Group Work Week 1 Context and Background Research 1. Divide the research between you), addressing: – the people, e. g. : their culture, religion, habits, constraints etc. – the location: e. g. the geography, infrastructure, available materials, typical housing or work environments. Brighton Product Lab To Do- by week 1

Group Work Week 1 Kicking off: Analyse the design context Brainstorm the requirements for energy What kind of energy and how is it applied? For cooking? For heating? For cooling? To grow food? What industries? Record the meeting and results in the Student. Central WIKI Brighton Product Lab
