Team 10: The Sky’s the Limit! Design Norms Presentation 21 Feb, 2005 Aaron Buys, John Vander Weide, and Llian Breen Dr. Matthew K. Heun Calvin College, Grand Rapids, MI
Design Norms Cultural Appropriateness Transparency Stewardship Integrity Justice Caring Trust
Cultural Appropriateness Account for the social, cultural, and physical environment impact Stakeholders: Scientific Community General Public
Cultural Appropriateness Examples + Informing Air Traffic Control of our ACR launch although we have met FAR Radiosonde transmission at wrong frequency band
Transparency Clear communication Form implies function Stakeholders: Atmospheric Science Customers
Transparency Examples + Accessibility to general public - Inconsistent measurement: Data not reliable
Design Norms Cultural Appropriateness Transparency Stewardship Integrity Justice Caring Trust
Stewardship Resource use Tradeoffs between resources Economic Thermodynamic Physical Constraint
Stewardship Examples + ACR provides large scale tracking of inefficient resource use - Radiosonde retrieval vs. economics
Integrity A complete design Tradeoffs between function and aesthetics Is function desirable? Is product attractive to market? Promote human relationships and understanding.
Integrity Examples + Human understanding of environmental impact - Complicated design which frustrated weather service employees.
Design Norms Cultural Appropriateness Transparency Stewardship Integrity Justice Caring Trust
Justice Risk Analysis Stakeholder Rights Economic Constraints Environmental Constraints
Justice Examples + Parachute to minimize risk during ACR descent - Economic vs. environmental tradeoff with instrument retrieval
Caring Effect of product on humans Not just function, but safety
Caring Examples + More accurate weather prediction - Direct impact of ACR with human upon descent
Trust Product reliability Conflict of interest in design decisions
Trust Examples + Repeatability of instrument testing builds trust - Failing to keep secret proprietary information given to us by a company
