Overview Introduction Top 3 Designs Survey Chosen Major

Project Definition & Goal New Project Definition Design a collection of knowledge to meet a rising demand for new technologies, ideologies, fields, and needs Goals  Train students’ analytical thinking  Prepare student with strong technical & scientific background  Useful for society Introduction Top 3 Designs Survey Chosen Major

Potential Users Students Faculty Companies/Prospective market Public Top 3 Designs Survey Chosen Major Introduction

Constraints Hard to be accepted by public Limited resources due to lack of history in this new field Lack of support from faculty and low student enrollment Top 3 Designs Survey Chosen Major Introduction

Design Process Define  Redefine the problem  Identify constraints and goals  Characterize user types Research  Online research based on their interests  Think “why (and how) all engineering majors were created at the first place?” Brainstorm  Generate 100 great ideas Top 3 Designs Survey Chosen Major Introduction

Design Process Vote  Eliminate crazy ideas  Vote top 10 ideas Focus  Refine our major based on Professor Goldberg’s feedback Delegate  Divide into 3 subgroups based on their personal interest/knowledge  Each subgroup refines one major Top 3 Designs Survey Chosen Major Introduction

Design Process Prototype  Detailed description of each major Test  Survey Refine  Update and choose our best design Present Top 3 Designs Survey Chosen Major Introduction

SURVEY ANALYSIS

Purpose To provide quantitative information regarding  the main factor that the target group consider when choosing their major  the targets’ interests towards each of our three designed majors Survey Chosen Major Introduction Top 3 Designs

Procedure Random Sampling Distributed questionnaires to students at College Park High School (12 out of 20) Diablo Valley College (20 out of 40) UC- Berkeley (21 out of 25)  8 (38%) were from students with undeclared major  13 (62%) were from students with a major Survey Chosen Major Introduction Top 3 Designs

Questionnaire Questions regarding students background:  Level of education  Age  Gender  Intended or current major Choose the main factor that influences them when deciding on a major Survey Chosen Major Introduction Top 3 Designs

Questionnaire Rate their interests toward: (Given the definition)  Energy Management Engineering  Aviation and Technology Engineering  Security Engineering Survey Chosen Major Introduction Top 3 Designs
