After our first brainstorming session we voted on the following top ten Design ideas:

1. Design Engineering 6. Food/Culinary Eng.

2. Home Engineering 7. Ergonomic Engineering

3. Criminology/Forensic Eng. 8. Music/Acoustic Eng.

4. Game Engineering 9. Energy Resource Eng.

Acoustics Engineering

Forensic and Criminology Engineering

Involves Design and strategic decision making. It is the application of statistical and design principles.

Study of sound, optics, vibration and noise, how these are generated, their relationship to music and how they can be enhanced and suppressed.

Step 5, 6, 7-Focus, Delegate & PrototypeApplied StrategicGame Engineering The investigation

and analysis of criminal cases, as well as the reconstruction of failures in buildings, structures, vehicles, and other systems

One survey designed for each group:

1. Prospective students

2. Family and friends

3. Employers

Sample Survey Questions

Define Research Brainstorm Vote Focus Delegate Prototype Test Refine Conclusions

Students:When accidents or malfunctions happen, I am

curiousas to why and how.

Employers:I believe there exists a sufficiently large market for

theinvestigation and reconstruction of crimes and engineering failures.

Family & friends:Well-designed games are important in a child’sdevelopment, both physically and mentally.

(Scale: 1 – strongly disagree, 7 – strongly agree)

Forensics and Criminology Engineering

The teaching and research activities of the Department of Forensics and Criminology Engineering (F&CE) concern the investigation and analysis of criminal cases, as well as the reconstruction of accidents and failures in machines, structures, and other systems.

Topics

This agenda covers a broad range of specialized disciplines, including:

- Genetics, cell physiology, and cell anatomy - Computer science, networks, and systems - Statics and dynamics - Microstructure/physical/ properties of materials

Define Research Brainstorm Vote Focus Delegate Prototype Test Refine Conclusions

““CCreativity to the nereativity to the neXXt power”t power”

Due to its multidisciplinary nature, F&CE has been broken down into three specialized paths:

- Option I Failure Analysis

- Option II Bio-Chemical Analysis

- Option III Computer Forensics

Comments of prototype

““CCreativity to the nereativity to the neXXt power”t power”

“In my first year, I don’t feel that I am informed enough to help me decide on which specific area I want to pursue, so that I can take the prerequisites that I need to take”.

- Andres (MCB)

“I’m curious to hear from professionals in this field because I don’t know much about it”.

- Natalie (ME)

“Is Law Enforcement an Engineering practice?”

- Dan (EECS)

Step 9-Refinements

•A F&CE freshman seminar was added to give students an opportunity to explore the 3 F&CE options

•The 4 sub-majors were reduced to 3 because investigation and law enforcement were not considered engineering disciplines

•A course in engineering ethics is now to be taken in the second year instead of the fourth year.

Conclusions

1. Survey: ask questions that a person cannot automatically say “yes” or “no” to. Creating a survey is not as easy as we thought.

2. “Persona” should also be given in the context of the user, employer and professor

3. During brainstorming, keep all ideas. After you eliminate an idea, it may still be used later on, specially after feedback.
