- OJT=On Job Training is equivalent to Practical Relevance This is a revision course designed for those who have undergone the fundamentals of Design Thinking process in 3rd semester
- Objective: Applying Design Thinking The course aims to validate the learnings from the understanding design thinking course by translating the concepts into exercises
- Here branch specific topics need to be selected by students
- apply reverse engineering
- modify existing solutions and refine their learning for Design Thinking phases
- Course Contents In the 3rd semester
- students have learnt the basic Design Thinking methodology in DE-1A and undergone the phases of the same with necessary tools and techniques and worked upon general topic/domain irrespective of their branch
- Now in 4th semester
- they need to select branch specific existing artefact/solution
- apply Reverse Engineering (RE) and modify/redesign it as per the User’s needs using Design Thinking
- There are three core objectives of introducing RE and integrating Design Thinking with it: (1) Students will learn some basic concepts from their branch and relate all stages/phases of Design Engineering with their regular core subjects of particular branch in current or further semester/s as one of the key objectives of Design Engineering subject is to imbibe Design Thinking approach into core engineering subject for practical learning
- (2) they will use Design Thinking process again to refine their learning and (3) some of the existing solutions will be modified/redesigned through Post-graduate Research Centre for Industrial Design OPEN DESIGN SCHOOL Learning Design Thinking at Gujarat Technological University Page 3 DE projects which can be helpful to user/society
- In this module also whole Design Thinking process will be used by students
- but more emphasis on Ideation and initial Product Development phases
- The content is divided into week-wise activities to better understand the course and to give enough time to all the learning aspects
- but depending upon the type and nature of projects
- students and guide may allocate more/less time to the activities
- Students in 4th semester need to follow week-wise activities as mentioned below to complete course requirements
- Design Thinking Process – with Tools & Techniques
Unit 2 (DE-1B): Applying Design Thinking
- Broad segment Week Description Operational need Domain/Topic Selection 1 o Branch Specific existing topic selection for Reverse Engineering (This topic must be different from 3rd sem topic) o Team Selection (you may change your team member here in 4th sem) o Brief lecture/exercise o In this semester
- student will use Design Thinking process learnt in 3rd semester to modify the selected RE topic Reverse Engineering (RE) 2, 3 o Reverse Engineering – Detailed study for Branch Specific topic o Dissemble the existing selected artefact/product/component/pr ocess/system to study technical aspects and design detail involved o Identify issues related to existing solutions o Brief lecture/exercise o Hands-on practice sessions with cases /examples o Reverse engineering document link is given in General Guidelines document Empathization Phase 4, 5 o Observation: Through AEIOU framework and other Ethnography tools available o Immerse via Role Playing o Interview: Formal and Informal interview Students may use Stanford o Students need to visit their domain/place where they can interact with user for getting insights. o Here
- observation can be of direct user of the selected solutions
- manufacturer and dealer or from point of view Post-graduate Research Centre for Industrial Design OPEN DESIGN SCHOOL Learning Design Thinking at Gujarat Technological University Page 4 methods given in below link - http://dschool.stanford.edu/wp- content/uploads/2013/10/METHO DCARDS-v3-slim.pdf o Modification for existing artefact/product/component/pr ocess/system based on User’s need o Preparation of Mind Map, Empathy Map o Secondary research/Prior art search (prior art search is continuous activity and can be used in any phase to strengthen the idea) o Group wise presentation followed by Discussion o Define Problem statement (format is given in reference PPT on DE portal) o Verification of problem identified by team through users/stakeholders of repairer/maintenance person/services provider
- Minimum 3-4 field trips will be required to get better insights on users’ needs. o Based on User’s need
- students need to redesign/modify the selected existing artefact/product/componen t/process/system for RE Note: For details of activities on various phases
- students should consider the 3rd semester week-wise guideline
- as Design Thinking process will be same with different projects
- Ideation Phase 6, 7, 8 o Preparation of Ideation canvas based on modification considered at Empathy phase o Learning Tools: Learning by analogy
- heuristic and gestalt model o Combination of Ideas from Ideation canvas o Sketching of rough ideas o Preparation of Ideation canvas o Students will work on their Ideation canvas o Ideation activities shall be performed in class with team members under guidance of teacher Post-graduate Research Centre for Industrial Design OPEN DESIGN SCHOOL Learning Design Thinking at Gujarat Technological University Page 5 Product Development Phase 9, 10 o Preparation of Product Development Canvas (PDC) to modify existing product Product Experience Product Functions Product Features Components o Discussion on PDC o Students will work on their PD canvas (min 3 hour continuous workshop) o Students team will discuss on their PDC with other groups and faculty guide and get the feedback o Refinement of PDC after discussion 11 o Customer/User Revalidation (Reject/Redesign/Retain) o Refinement o Till 12th week of course
- student team will consult Users/Stakeholders for their inputs on concept and incorporate necessary changes Pre-Design & Rough Prototype 12, o Learning Need Matrix (LNM) o Detail design and refinement o Prototype (Here strategy is to fail fast to succeed fast) o Building the solutions exercises o Iterate
- Iterate….. o LNM document link is given in General Guidelines document Feedback & Final Report 14 o Upload duly signed Continuous Assessment Card o Feedback
- Online certificate generation through DE portal o Final Report o As per the feedback received from Users/Stakeholders/other student groups/guide
- student teams need to modify their design and further action plan. o Report writing should be continuous activity throughout the semester Post-graduate Research Centre for Industrial Design OPEN DESIGN SCHOOL Learning Design Thinking at Gujarat Technological University Page 6 Description of activities for DE – 1B (4th semester) Reverse Engineering (Tear Down Lab approach) Reverse Engineering
- also called as Back Engineering
- is the processes of extracting knowledge or design information from anything man-made and re-producing it or reproducing anything based on the extracted information
- The process often involves disassembling something (a mechanical device
- electronic component
- computer program
- or biological/chemical/organic matter) and analysing its components and workings in detail [1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_engineering Steps need to follow for Reverse Engineering (but not limited to, it may vary as per selected topic/project): 1
- Select branch specific existing artefact/component/process/system/solution 2
- Disassemble/Understand it for learning the technical/engineering aspects involved in it 3
- Identify issues related to selected existing solution and try to modify it using Design Thinking approach 4
- Apply Design Thinking approach to find out the Unmet needs of User related to selected artefact/component 1
- Selection of Branch specific existing artefact for RE 2
- Study the selected artefact through Reverse Engineering (RE) and modify it based on Design Thinking learnt in 3rd semester 3
- Prepare all canvases and framework for selected RE topic 4
- Based on idea developed during the above process
- prepare Ideation canvas
- PDC and LNM 5
- Rough Prototype Post-graduate Research Centre for Industrial Design OPEN DESIGN SCHOOL Learning Design Thinking at Gujarat Technological University Page 7 5
- Follow phases of Observation
- Ideation and Product Development by preparing related canvases/frameworks 6
- Modify/redesign the artefact/component to meet Users unmet needs Activity 01 - Select Branch Specific artefact/component and disassemble it Each group has to select one branch specific existing artefact/component/process/system/solution for reverse engineering activity for their DE-1B project and modify the same based on extracted information as per User’s needs
- This activity is to learn about some basic technical aspects involved in designing something related to particular branch
- After Reverse Engineering study
- with extracted information from branch specific artefact/component
