What to do in Design Engineering - Canvas Activity by students?

During semester 7 the student teams are required to carry out the following design engineering canvas activities related to student’s project to identify and filter out good ideas and project definition to work upon:

1. AEIOU Summary

2. Empathy Summary

3. Ideation

4. Product Development

The Institute/College will arrange workshops for different design canvases like Empathy Summary, Ideation and similar design thinking practices. 

All the student-teams are required to participate in the workshops, involving the whole of the class and prepare the necessary documents. Students’ teams need to summarize AEIOU framework activity for observation part in Empathy Summary. Then they need to document scouted challenges of the Final Year problem that they have selected. 

Students have to prepare and submit the canvases for above listed tasks. Students have to take photogrphs of the said canvases and have to upload on PMMS portal.

Out of those challenges the top 5 problems need to be selected on the basis of desirability, feasibility and viability. After discussion with Faculty Guide and other groups, the final problem statement may be defined. All teams need to validate their problem statements with the users.
