Innovative Creations Unleashed At Design Contest
11 Sep 2014
On 20 August, 35 teams of Year 2 students set up microcontroller based “creations” at the microcontroller laboratory and competed against each other. They had to pit in terms of ideas, technical competency & salesmanship. Winners walked away with vouchers and certificates.
These students taking the Microcontroller Applications / Engineering Design & Business Project II module put their Design Thinking skills to work. They interviewed and observed end users and developed insights. They brainstormed and selected good ideas for implementation. Sketches, personas, block diagrams, flowcharts, circuit fabrication, programming, interfacing, and troubleshooting kept them busy for the most part of the second term.
The judges, most of whom are microcontroller experts, debated and finally awarded prizes to 12 teams. Congratulations to all the winners!
