  1. STUDY OF CDIO WORKSPACES IN SINGAPORE POLYTECHNIC Christopher Teoh Pee Suat Hoon Leong Mun Kin

  2. Contents SP’s Approach to Workspaces CDIO Process Environment Tools & Furniture Student Interaction Elements in Workspace Designs Types of Furniture Visualizer Information Management Types of Artefacts Survey of Workspaces Lessons Drawn Q & A

  3. ENVIRONMENT CDIO PROCESS TOOLS STUDENTS’ INTERACTIONS SP’s Approach to Workspaces WORKSPACE DESIGNS (Location Tools) • Types of Furniture • Visualizer • Information Management

  4. CDIO Process • The CDIO Framework • appropriate workspaces that support and encourages the learning of product or system building, disciplinary knowledge and social learning (Standard 6) • suitable project for the learning outcomes • multi-modal learning/knowledge transfer • lecturers and student informal exchange

  5. Elements of Interactions

  6. Elements in Workspace Design • Elements of Workspace Design • Furniture • Visualisation Support • Information Management • Furniture • Sufficient flexibility for both collaborative and individual learning • Other (secondary) uses

  7. Furniture@Workspace

  8. Elements in Workspace Design • Visualisation Support • Personal whiteboards or flipcharts • Ability to record discussion/information e.g. using electronic whiteboards

  9. Visualisation Support

  10. Elements in Workspace Design • Information Management Recording of information learnt and/or constructed Wikis, electronic logbooks or other electronic setups and databases

  11. Information Management Share Recording Streams Past Experience Gather Data Generate Concepts Test Ideas New Ideas Creativity Streams Incubate Explore

  12. Type of Artefacts Student’s Engineering Experience

  13. Survey of SP WorkspacesSchool of EEE • IE/IDEA Lab in T12601-6 • Single Lab where ALL module activity takes place • Activities are varied • Conceive (brainstorm, discussion, creative thinking) • Design (paper design, web search, simulation) • Implement (building prototype, testing, competition) • Workgroup sizes vary (single, pairs, group of 4)

  14. Survey of SP WorkspacesSchool of EEE • IE/IDEA Lab in T12601-6 (cont’d) • Simple electronic test equipment available (power supply, multi-meters, scopes etc) • Most project components available • Highly and easily accessible • Cool factor – vibrant colours, warm lighting, electronic whiteboards, wireless projectors etc • Flexible enough to host other modules and purposes.

  15. Single all inclusive flexible workspace Survey of SP WorkspacesSchool of EEE • IE/IDEA Lab at T12601-6 (cont’d) Flexible Workspaces (Multi-Module usages)

  16. Survey of SP WorkspacesSchool of EEE • Design & Innovation Lab in T822 • Consist of main lab with workshop extension • Activity in workshop fixed - fabrication of chassis (mechanical structure) • Activities in main lab varied • Conceive (creative thinking, discussions) • Design (paper design, web search, simulation) • Implement (building electronic prototype, testing) • Student workgroup size is 4 or 5

  17. Survey of SP WorkspacesSchool of EEE • Design & Innovation Lab in T822 (con’d) • Fixed, partitioned workspace in main lab for conducive team working environment • Simple electronic test equipment available (power supply, multi-meters, scopes etc) • Most project components available • Wireless LAN, Labview & C-compiler available • Highly and easily accessible

  18. Survey of SP Workspaces School of EEE Design & Innovation Lab in T822 • Conceive, Design, Implement and Operate

  19. Survey of SP Workspaces School of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering

  20. Survey of SP Workspaces School of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering Conceive, Design, Implement & Operate in W1112A Fixed and flexible partitioned workspace Fully equipped workspace (Drop down supplies, workshop equipment,..) Wireless LAN, Computing S/W and Vision apparatus Facilitates Final year student and Commercial Projects for Industry

  21. Student’s Design Area Survey of SP WorkspacesSchool of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering • Conceive and Design • Fully Equipped PC Suit • Commercial Workspace • Facilitates First to Final Year students

  22. Survey of SP Workspaces School of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering • Implement & Operate • Fully Equipped Workshop • Flexible Workspace • Facilitates CDIO modules and Final Year students

  23. Survey of SP Workspaces School of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering • Conceive and Design • Fully Equipped PC Suit • Flexible Workspace • Facilitates First to Final Year students

  24. Survey of SP Workspaces School of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering • All stages of CDIO • Fully Equipped Workshop • Flexible Workspace • No Air-Conditioning • Facilitates 2nd to Final Year Project

  25. Lessons Drawn • Lesson Drawn from Workspace Survey • Subliminal Messages • Specialisation vs. Workspace Flexibility • Space requirement and throughput vs. artefact size • Multiple uses (TeachingProjectExhibition)

  26. Lessons Drawn • Subliminal Messages • The way workspace is decorated, laid out or configured influences student work behaviour • IE/IDEA Lab (Hobby culture) • IPC (Team culture) • MDC (Formal workplace culture) • PC (Craftsmanship culture)

  27. Lessons Drawn • Specialisation vs. Workspace Flexibility • Trade-off between specialised equipment and workspace flexibility • Specialised equipment like cutting and milling machines, emulators etc tend to make workspace fixed • More difficult to have flexible workspace to accommodate higher year projects

  28. Lessons Drawn • Space requirement and throughput vs. artefact size • Consideration needs to be focused on project artefact size and how to store them • The larger the project artefact size, the higher the space requirements and the lower the workspace throughput

  29. Thank You Q & A
