Line of Learning 4.1 Question: What is the EPICS Human-Centereddesign framework and would it be useful for our service-learning Project?

Date

Standards Statement

®

Students will examine how communication and collaboration apply to the project within the team and with the community partners, and how the engineering standards give structure and a framework to the process.

Standards:

NGSS HS. Engineering Design HS-ETS1-3.

ELA/Literacy – SL.11-12.1c Comprehension and Collaboration

Engaging Prior Knowledge

Discussion:What do you remember about the EPICS design model?

There are 8 Design Phases associated with the EPICS program to support the learning of the students and give structure to a human-centered design process.

EPICS Engineering Design Model

®

Give one task that occurs during each of the following phase of the design cycle.

Identification Phase Specification Development Phase Conceptual Design Phase Detailed Design Phase Delivery Phase Service and Maintenance Retirement Redesign

What is the importance of Iteration in the EPICS Design Process?

Specification Development Phase

®

Conceptual Design Phase

Research of possible solutions

Detailed Design Phase

bottom-up implementation.

proof-of-concept prototype.

Design Failure Mode Effects Analysis (DFMEA).

Delivery Phase

®

Complete the production version of the project

Write user manuals to teach people how to use their product

delivery checklistWrite a report that explains if

and why your product is ready to be delivered to the user – this report is called a Delivery Review

Service- Maintenance Phase

®

How performing in the fieldWhat it will take to keep the

project running.

Redesign Phase

®

Determine if the project should continue, be redesigned or retired.

Design Model applied to Community need

®

Debate carousel Give each person a question Record opinion and evidence to support

their position in the first box. Pass their papers to the right Read and add a supporting rationale that

goes along with their peer’s judgment Pass their papers to the right Read what is in both of their peers’ boxes

and add something that might be used as an opposing rationale.

Pass their papers to the right Add their own opinion, supporting it with

their rationale, in the final box. Return their papers to the original owners.

Discuss the questions in small groups

What is the “Big Idea” of Design?

ReflectionHave you…

Evaluated a solution to a real world problem and determine the constraints and needs of the project?

Explored the elements of Design, particularly Human-Centered Design?
