CDIO
• CDIO is an educational framework for producing the next generation of engineers.
• Complementing to OBE • Example of implementation for SKEM:
– Performed CDIO analysis for SKEM program– Introduction for IO in Intro2EE for 1st year SKEM
students– Missing knowledge in C-D-I-O is covered before
the students can implement capstone project6
Integrated Design Project
• Integrated design project (IDP) is also known as capstone project
• IDP is a final year engineering design project.• Can be introduced in 3rd or final year as 1- or
2-semester project• Required by Engineering
Accreditation Council (EAC) for engineering program.

Integrated Design Project
• Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical-Mechatronics), FKE, UTM– Capstone project for SKEM program since 2013 – EAC visit was in mid of 2013
10
Integrated Design Project
• 70% of Instrumentation and Measurement course (3rd year, 3 credits) as capstone project– Problem: heavy load to lecturer – Output: Miniature system, presentation, report– EAC report: listed as concern
• Same faculty but other engineering programs without capstone project– EAC report: listed as major

– Industry and community based projects– End users survey – End users are invited as panel
2. Project management– Facilitator and student project files, final report– Tight management: Scope within RM500 and 12 weeks
3. Prototype– Conceptual and working prototype
16
Integrated Design Project
• Design (integrated/capstone) project4. Multidisciplinary
– Prior knowledge: intro2EE, tech. drawing, C programming, electronics, circuit design, control, embedded system, uP, PLC etc.
– Each group is formed by the members from various programs
5. Design thinking– CDIO + IDEO design method

Design Thinking
“Design thinking is a human-centered approach to innovation that draws from the designer's toolkit to integrate the needs of
people, the possibilities of technology, and the requirements for business success.”
(Tim Brown, president and CEO, IDEO)

Group Activities 1
• Based on the given project theme, your group is required to: – Prepare interview script with a minimum of 10
interview questions for in-depth study of user’s problems and needs.
– Identify and interview a minimum of 10 real users. Encouraged to use a voice recorder / smartphone.
– Perform on-site observation (People, Object, Environment, Message, Service). Encouraged to use a camera / camcorder / smartphone.
31
Group Activities 1
• Expected outcome:
32
Empathize and Define
33
Group Activities 2
• Perform data extraction (by each member)– Identify the background of the user and his / her problems
and needs. Write using minimum words on a sticker.Sketching is highly encouraged.
– Also extract any important information from observation.– 1 sticker = 1 point or findingNote: duplicated point by members for the same end user => choose only 1 point
• Some of discussion tips– One conversation at a time– Be visual– Go for quantity
34
Empathize and Define
35
Group Activities 3
• Perform data clustering– You can group the similar problems /needs into the same
cluster.– You must be clear on the identified problems /needs and
the background of the users (male vs. female, parents vs.children, managers vs. workers etc.)
36
Empathize and Define
37
Group Activities 4
• From the clustered data, vote for 3 needs* that willgive high degree of satisfaction to your end users andmake your product unique and sell like hotcakes.Then produce in 2 mahjong papers for:– a personification (users’ profile with pain points
and 3 needs) from the clustered data– A design statement based on the developed
personification
*3 needs is enough for a capstone project
38
PersonificationPROFILE
• Age: 30+• Very busy career man • Very ambitious at work• Highly educated in his profession• Spending a lot of time on work & family• Less interested in taking sports (physical activities)• Imbalance between career, family and physical
activities• Priority on job with endless tasks
PAIN POINTS• Unfit physically: tired
and body pain • Forced to join
organization sport activities
NEEDS• Group motivation – group with same skills level, good coach / leader• Easily accessible sport facilities and health support system – save time
and hassle free• Monitoring health progress – good tracking system
Super John
Design Statement
How we may help Super John to have easily accessible sport facilities together with support system while enjoying physical
activities with friends?
Super John
Design Statement
• How we may help <USER> to <NEED> + <INSIGHT>
• How we may help Super John to have easily accessible sport facilities while enjoying physical activities?
• How we may help Mat Lebah to monitor beehive from anywhere at anytime?
• How we may help Si Zerror to make group studying more exciting?
Design Statement
• From the personification, produce in 1 mahjongpaper for:– A design statement based on <USER>, <NEED>
and <INSIGHT>
42
Personification and Design Statement
• Application of personification and design statement– individually look into the technology and theory
for the potential solutions (X5) catering specific need / pain point
– Preferred: creative, effective and low cost solutions

IDEO 7 Brainstorming Rules
1. Defer judgment – for now, suspend critique.
2. Encourage wild ideas – breakout ideas are right next to the absurd ones.
3. Build on the ideas of others – listen and add to the flow of ideas.
4. Stay focused on the topic – focus on target / scope.
5. One conversation at a time – maintain momentum as a group.
6. Be visual – use stick-a-note to draw ideas.
7. Go for quantity – best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas.

STEEP Analysis
minutesSTEEP
ANALYSIS
• Perform STEEP analysis onyour proposed conceptsolution.
• Add into your sketch in A4paper.
Solution
• Present your solution to theteam.(3 minutes X 4 members)
• Choose the best solution byvoting.
• Further improve the featuresif needed.
Bill of materials
• BOM is a listing of all of the raw materials, parts, subassemblies, and assemblies needed to produce one unit of a product.
Bill of materials• Break your team’s solution
into main parts.• Members do round table for
each main part identification.• Sketch the product structure
tree on a new A4 paper.
Bill of materials
Task assignment• Identify the person in charge and time
(start and end) required for the task(programming, soldering, 3D printing,welding, machining etc.) to completethe identified components.
• Individual contribution– 8 weeks X 6 hour = 48 hour
• Design-Implement– 6 weeks X 6 hour X 4 members = 144 hour
• Operate (On-site installation)– 1 week X 6 hour X 4 members = 24 hour
• Poster, EECS and long report– 1 week X 6 hour X 4 members = 24 hour
Project planning
• For any solution (project), the scope of the solutionmust also fulfill the given time frame and budget.

76
Co-creation
• Co-creation is a strategy to bring together thedesigners and the end users in order to jointlyproduce a mutually valued outcome.
• Presenting and demo your conceptual prototype toother groups.
• Note that a video can be better used to demonstratethe conceptual prototype in real live situation.
77
Engineering Design – Implement – Operate
• After completing the Understand-Create-Deliver(User-Centered-Design) process, the project can beproceed with the standard engineering design,implement and operate.

Conclusion
• Capstone project is not just for the sack of EAC.• From my observation, the students involved in
capstone project are more confident in doing FYP. • The students learnt about important of team
working and design thinking in solving a project with limited resources (time frame vs. budget vs. scope).
