IDEA EVALUATION

IDEA EVALUATION PROOF OF CONCEPT

Final verdict on novelty in idea for addressing the purpose

Improve the customer experience

Check the features and functions

Streamlined components

Most important in process – emotional connection

HELP

Focus on critical questions

- Science based / Engineering in spine

- Data-driven

Better understanding of the underlying concept

- Rapid elimination

- Minimal investments

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT CANVAS

By Semester III,

the PD Canvas has helped forming an idea on an alternative solution towards a purpose

in other words,

“Hypothesis”

needs to be evaluated

“Reasoning

flows not only forward from anticipation

and hypothesis to confirmation,

or revision but,

also backward from the experience to what it reminds us of,

or

makes us think about.”

Kahneman & Miller (1986)

OUTPUT WITH US

The components on PD Canvas,

followed by identification important observations…

Establish links - connecting to one another

The connections with PD Canvas reveals the anticipated patterns that are emerging.

PRIOR ART SEARCH/ LITERATURE REVIEW

Students may continuously refer to Research Papers to enhance the understanding on the theme they are working on.

Each student shall study at least 2 research papers and summarise the understanding on the paper in one or two pages.

Students may refer to Patent Reports (IPR Database) as applicable to ensure novelty of their idea.

Using Boolean terms: AND OR

Default setting of GOOGLE

AND is always there: means for the search term

◦ “bulb fan”

the google shall look for

◦bulb AND fan

OR if inserted OR must be capitalized so Google understands this is a searching word, not a word to be searched.

◦ [teenager OR adolescent OR youth]

◦ ["climate change" or "global warming"]

USING GOOGLE EFFECTIVELY: TIPS

http://library.uvic.ca/instruction/research/google101.html


Quotation marks (" ") will limit your search to a specific phase.

["climate change"]

will search for results with this exact phase. A search for

[climate change] will search for results with instances of both the words climate and change, and retrieve such unrelated results as

"The political climate has changed since the adoption of free trade."





Set limits to Google searches.

intitle: retrieves search words which appear in the website's title field

intitle:canad* "climate change"

inurl: retrieves search words which appear in the website's url

inurl:shakespeare "elizabethan england"

filetype: retrieves specific file types such as HTML, PDFs, MS Word (doc), Excel (xls), PowerPoint (ppt)

filetype:pdf "organizational development" leadership



Word order and word choice are important.[Genetic engineering] and [engineering genetics] will retrieve different results

Asterisks (*) will retrieve words with multiple endings. Canad* will retrieve Canada, Canadian, and Canadians

feminis* will retrieve feminism, feminisms, feminist, and feminists





(~) helps you to search for synonyms and can help you locate words with similar meanings. ~car will retrieve automobile, vehicle

PATENT DATA BASE AS PRIOR ART…

India (as regional right)

USA

WIPO database

Free database

Paid database

Existing searches for products not in database…

BRAINSTORMING & FOCUSED OBSERVATIONS

Group members shall discuss the findings of the observations…

Modify (detailing on) the components (identified in PD Canvas)

Students shall perform the exercise again keeping modifications, if any.

This shall ensure the Idea evaluation

(assuring novelty with inclusion of all five principles)

IDEA EVALUATIONHow basic principles are having connections with observations and the identified components on PDCanvas…(How each principle is involved – up to what extent? What is relevant with principles?)

Based on checking five aspects involved at various stages:

Environmental

(Effect on

surrounding)

Technological

Ergonomics

(Interaction of human

dimensions)

Cost

(Estimates/

Variations)

Aesthetics

(looks/ visuals)

Education
