PO1-Engineering Knowledge

PO6 - Engineers & Society

PO7 - Environment & Sustainability

PO8 - Ethics

Evaluate the environment and sustainability issues in the community

Engage with the community as a prospective civil engineer in solving problems involving the civil engineering profession.

Demonstrate good communication and team work in community project

Comprehend the ethical and professional conduct that guide a civil engineer’s professional practice and service to the community.

False

True

Involves wide-ranging or conflicting technical, engineering and other issues/requirements

Requires in-depth analysis to provide no obvious solution that requires abstract thinking, originality in analysis to formulate suitable model.

Unfamiliar or infrequently encountered issues within the community

Stakeholder involvement: Diverse groups of stakeholders with widely varying needs/conflicting requirements

Application of engineering knowledge to understand and analyze the problems in the community

Empathy

Define -

Ideate

Prototype

Testing

identify key problems of the situation given through an empathy study.

analyse the problems by comprehend various issue in the community

observe what people/community do and how they interact with their environment that contributes to the problem.

sympathize with the community problems without any engagement

engage, watch, and listen from many sources such as media, you-tube, interview, books, research paper and other relevant and validated sources.

define the purpose of the project or assignment, the challenge they are taking on, based on what they have learned from the previous stage

become an instant expert on the subject and gaining invaluable empathy, this stage is about making sense of the widespread information that have been gathered.

design the solutions based on empathy stage

create a meaningful and actionable problem statement. This should be a guiding statement that focuses on insights and needs of a specific problem.

really understand the problem which is very critical to the design process (next stage)

determine best solution

concentrate on idea generation and come out with many suggestions to solve the problems through many brainstorming sessions and propose possible solutions that may help to solve the user’s problem.

develop the design through concept sketches that can be drawn to capture the ideas

push for a widest possible range of ideas from which you can select, not simply findings a single best solution

bring multiple ideas forward into prototyping, thus maintaining their innovation potentials

to repeat the empathy studies if during ideation, you discover that you still did not really have enough understanding of the user requirements to propose a good solution

present possible solutions for comments from the facilitator, group members and community.

use the feedback obtained to refine the proposed solution. .

test you your solution for effectiveness

To refine prototypes and solutions.

To inform the next iterations of prototypes that sometimes this means going back to the drawing board.

To learn more about your user and can be considered as another opportunity to build empathy through observation and engagement – it often yields unexpected insights.

To refine your Point of View (POV).

Sometimes testing reveals that not only did you not get the solution right, but also that you failed to frame the problem correctly
