Common Instructions:
1) There is no need to repeat / rewrite questions given below in your report document.
2) All questions are to be attempted to best describe your thinking approaches.
3) Questions may be answered in paragraph form. Avoid bullet unless to mention very
specifically something.
4) There are no page limit/ word limit for the answer, may be you can put in brief/ detail to
best of your discretion.
5) You can also use pictures (in part or full size) of your canvas. Kindly make sure you
reduce the using compression (Format tab at top) with a resolution of 200 dpi. Teams can
add picture of any part of canvases to explain particular thing in the report.
6) There is no need to write these instructions in report.
7) Sections/Contents are illustrative here. Students and faculty guide may decide their best
way to express the design thinking approach with respect to their project in the report.
8) At the end of the report each team is supposed to add the full image of each canvas.
9) The report book can be spiral bound and team can keep one copy with them and they can
give a copy to the department for record.
10) GTU will provide a web link where each team in each branch can register and upload the
soft copy of the report including image of each canvas later on.
11) After examination teams may keep the canvases for their further reference or submit to the
department. So students group or department need to retain all framework, canvases and
report for future use. External examiner may ask groups to show their previous work
related to Design Engineering.
12) Teams will have to show the physical canvases to the department/examiner during the
practical examination and explain briefly.
Contents:
1. Introduction to concept/ idea
Give a name to your team. Write in brief about every team members, guide and mentors
with their photos if possible. Elaborate what you know about design thinking (50 words).
You can study, analyse and share in your own words. Also introduce your domain/project
briefly.
2. Phase 1 : Evaluation of Idea
A. Observation Record sheets (AEIOU Framework)
1) You need to describe your journey of gathering data through observation using
AEIOU framework in the context of your project.
2) Describe each 5 types of framework in details.
3) You may include notes, photographs, video, and interview and so on to elaborate
your AEIOU framework in the context of your project.
B. Literature review / Prior Art Search : Through this one team need to do thorough
literature review about the existing solutions, innovations related to the project/problem
which they have picked up and see how they can develop better solution using design
thinking approach.
C. Modifications to be made in the canvases after observation exercise
If group is working on same project/domain/source from which problem is scouted as
3rd semester then after observation you need to modify all canvases (Empathy,
Ideation, Product Development) based in inputs.
If group has selected new project/domain/ source from which problem is scouted in
4th semester then you need to make all canvases again
Empathy Mapping /framework
1)
What domain area or pre requisite did you start with empathy campus?
2)
Who was the Selected User? Who were the stakeholders? (snapshot of user and
stakeholder section from the canvas)
Enlist all the activities of the user and stakeholder doing from AEIOU framework and
write briefly about all of them. (snapshot of activities section in the canvas)
4) Mention the stories mentioned in the canvas in 100 words each. Your story must be
based on observation only and for that you may require to observe your domain again
and again.
5) Insert a picture of entire canvas of empathy mapping.
6) Write 5 points about your conclusion from the empathy canvas.
3)
1)
Mention the set of People in ideation canvas. (You may mention about new persons
introduced in addition to Empathy canvas)(with snapshot of the section)
2)
List down every single activity mentioned in the canvas people-wise. (with snapshot
of the section)
3)
List down various situation locations and contexts in the canvas and explain each of
them in brief. (with snapshot)
4)
Mention all the props included in your canvas and highlight the props you actually
used in the problem identification.
Explain in 250 words various iterations tried with the ideation canvas. Mention atleast
5 iterations and explain all of them. List down atleast 10 problems you figured out
while analysing the ideation canvas.
6) Insert a picture of entire canvas of ideation.
5)
3. Phase 2 : Pre-Design
Pre-design calculation which decides size / shape / material requirement /
manufacturing process / design specifications/applicable standards for converting idea
in the first prototype
Summary on validation process and refinement in the first-prototype
Learning Needs Matrix (LNM) - Summary on learning needs by students in the 4th
Semester - Elaborate your learning requirement for complete your project
independently - Allocation of preparing learning requirement among the members of
the group
Mention which feature/function or similar things of your proposed solution can still be
improved.
Mention what challenges you see while implementing your idea into prototype and
how they may be overcome.
