CETA Design Expo - Spring 2015
Friday, May 1, 2015
A wonderful day of
exhibition, poster competition & celebration in the College of Engineering,
Technology, and Architecture. Sophomores
& senior – sharing knowledge & experience.
ES 242 - Design Challenge: Motivate & Empower Mobility
ES 242: Engineering by Design - An in-depth study of the design process to include
problem solving methodologies, evaluation of alternate solutions, economic
analysis, ethical constraints, group dynamics, and presentation techniques.
Students undertake design projects specifically chosen to meet the objectives
of this course.
This Design Challenge is focused on ways to motivate
/ empower mobility among older adults in their daily lives, both inside their
homes and in their community.
The goals of the Design Challenge are threefold:
• Create
well-designed, practical solutions that address key issues associated with
aging.
• Encourage
a new generation of students to become knowledgeable about aging issues.
• Provide
promising designers with a path to drive change in the world.
The Spring 2015 Challenge focuses on solutions to
empower mobility among these older adults at a personal level by:
• Reducing
sedentary lifestyles.
• Encouraging
and enabling physical movement and exercise.
• Reducing
barriers and increasing facilitators to mobility in the home and community.
* Design Evaluation Criteria:
The following criteria will be used by judges to
evaluate the final product and to choose the winning designs/products.
1. Does the
product meet the design challenge? (Does
it empower and/or motivate mobility?)
2. Does the
product work? (Can it successfully be
demonstrated?)
3. Is the
product easy to use/operate? Is the
produce safe?
4. Does the end
product consider the target population?
(Who are the end users? Will the product be accepted and utilized by the
target population?)
5. Was the
design process implemented? (Is there
evidence/documentation of the design process?)
Senior Capstone Projects:
Senior Design/Capstone courses are the culminating
experience for students. Students work
on projects in their field of study with faculty mentors or external project
sponsors to design, fabricate, and/or test a device, process, or system. This is a major design experience based on
the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work, and incorporating
industry appropriate standards and realistic constraints. Students participating are enrolled in

* Design Evaluation Criteria:
The following criteria will be used by judges to
evaluate the projects and posters and to choose the winning designs/posters.
1. Clarity of the poster and oral
presentations,
2. Student’s overall responses to the
questions of the judges, and
3. The completeness of the work.
4. Quality of the project.
