Department of Informatics, UC Irvine SDCL Collaboration Laboratory Software Design and sdcl.ics.uci.edu 3 Reflection on design studio 1 More is needed

Department of Informatics, UC Irvine SDCL Collaboration Laboratory Software Design and sdcl.ics.uci.edu 4 Design studio 2 Design an educational traffic flow simulation program A 2-page briefing is provided, listing the main requirements for the system You will produce the design over a number of weeks, through a variety of structured exercises and arguments This will be an individual assignment, with group exercises worked in

Department of Informatics, UC Irvine SDCL Collaboration Laboratory Software Design and sdcl.ics.uci.edu 5 Design studio 2 This exact same design prompt was given to professional software designers – 1 hour and 50 minutes at the regular whiteboard

Department of Informatics, UC Irvine SDCL Collaboration Laboratory Software Design and sdcl.ics.uci.edu 6 Design studio 2 Watch the video, carefully Identify… – …five decisions points that the designers encountered – …the options they considered – …any relationships among the options Focus on essence and tradeoffs
