March 2, 2009 312 Hammond Redesign Team PINK! Amanda Amsler Abdullah Almutairi Brittany Murphy Jacob Schreiber
Outline • Determine Need/ Problem • A better learning and working environment in 312 Hammond. 2. Conceptualization • External Search: Determine a color for the walls that is conducive to learning. Also determine a type of lighting for the room. • Internal Search: Brainstorm possible solutions and determined a direction for the project.
Outline 3. Preliminary Design and Evaluation • Received ideas for project by interviewing students that have class in 312 Hammond and put our own input in. • Threw out ideas that we didn’t like anymore. 4. Detailed Design • Created a redesign of 312 Hammond on Google Sketchup 5. Production • Retouched the Google Sketchup for the final product.
Problem Statement and Target Population • Problem Statement: Hammond 312 is not conducive to good learning environment. • Target Population: The students of Engineering Design 100 and the students of Engineering Design 497I
Concept Generation • Color • Blue is for intellectual stimulation. • Tangerine orange stimulates creativity. • Seafoam green is very relaxing. • Visibility • Elevate rear tables. • Lower the monitors. • Add another projection screen. • One large, centered projection screen. • Stagger tables. • Make tables round so the computer screen can be seen by all.
Concept Generation Storage Lockers for students. Space in the computer tables. Shelves under the window. Electronics Add Macs to eliminate computer tower. High definition projectors. Wireless keyboard and mouse. • Comfort • New chairs. • Color of room. • Add a couch. • Organization • Clean up wires. • Remove junk.
Practicality • Cost • Ability to create • Color • Seafoam Green • Light Blue • Tangerine Orange • Comfort • New chairs • Color of room • Add a couch • Organization • Clean up wires • Remove junk • Storage • Lockers • Space under computer tables • Shelves under windows • Electronics • Add Macs to eliminate computer tower • High definition projectors • Wireless keyboard and mouse
Is the design reasonable for the cost? • YES! • It is reasonable for all of the major improvements that we are making to the room because it would greatly enhance the learning environment and leave a positive impact on all engineers at Penn State who take classes or do projects in the classroom.
Concluding Remarks • This project served as a great first step in teaching us how to utilize the engineering design process in a real world situation! • The final design completely meets the requirements of the customer needs. • The common complaints of discouraging color, lack of visibility, and discomforting chairs and tables have all been solved by our final design.
