Pre-research

(Energy reuse in
• All ideas considered and the work done on that
households,Miniaturising laptop and its accessories for easy of
carrying, Wireless charging devices for laptops in coference
halls or classrooms, Portable charging devices for mobile phones
and laptops)
• Final area selected and why(Energy efficient air conditioner because air
conditioners contribute to a major part of energy consumptionin
residences)
• Initial Design Brief (done),
• This would be important as some of the students also changed the course of their projects after a while

Research & Analysis:

• Overview of research - what all was done like interviews, visits, questionnaire, internet search (done ),
• Details of the research methodology used (done),
• User study, feedback, analysis and inferences (done),
• Product study (parallel/ similar/ reference), analysis and inferences (done),
• Ergonomics (of use, assembly and maintenance) (done),
• All internal details and functioning(done),
• Mood Board(s), (for inspiration, form language, products of similar category etc) (done),
• Opportunity mapping, (areas of intervention) (done),
(done),
• Overall inferences and modified
• redefined Design brief (Air cooler for Indian middle class residences that
has low power consumption and localised cooling for a room of
120 sq.ft.),
Initial Ideation:

(done),
• Finalising the internals/ variations of internals
• Package Drawing of final confugration (preferably 1:1) (done),
• Making initial mock-ups / trials etc(done),
• Concept development (done),
• feedback from users at this stage (done),
• Incorporating all needs from study into concepts (done),

Ideation & prototype:

• Sketching with final underlay and generating concepts (done),

• Form exploration (show alternatives min 5 to choose from, self explanatory sketches)

(done)

(done),
• Concept detailing on paper (joints, corner radii, finishes, technical requirement etc).
• Colour Scheme, textures (at least 3), Product Graphics (for Controls, instructions, Model Name/Number,
Brand etc) (done),
• Organisation of Display and Controls (interfaces, handles, cables etc) (done),
• Materials & Manufacturing Processes (for mass production, Show sample of materials) ( done),
• CAD development for the concept (done),
• Final renders and sketches (with user and context of use) (done),
• Basic Design Drawings (Orthographic drawings with overall dimensions of products and its components,
include list of materials, and name plate) (done),
• Mock-up/ prototype (high fidelity model with maximum details, this is mandatory for project completion)
(done),
• Costing (Good to have a reality check. typical costs of such products) (done),
• List unique features, concerns of the product (like universal design, social, eco-concern, etc) ( done),
• Photograph(s) with context of use (done),
• Final Feedback (Critical peer to peer, faculty, user feedback to be documented) (done),
Any other additional work (not mention above):
