2.723B Design Thinking and Innovation Project

(, ); second half of term
Engineering School-Wide Elective Subject.
(Offered under: 2.723B, 6.910B, 16.662B)
Prereq: 6.910A
Units: 2-0-1
Begins Oct 28. Lecture: M EVE (7-9 PM) (32-141) or M3-5 (32-141) Recitation: M EVE (9 PM) (32-123)

Project-based subject. Students employ design-thinking techniques learned in 6.902A to develop a robust speech-recognition application using a web-based platform. Students practice in leadership and teamwork skills as they collaboratively conceive, implement, and iteratively refine their designs based on user feedback. Topics covered include techniques for leading the creative process in teams, the ethics of engineering systems, methods for articulating designs with group collaboration, identifying and reconciling paradoxes of engineering designs, and communicating solution concepts with impact. Students present oral presentations and receive feedback to sharpen their communication skills.

IDS.522 Mapping and Evaluating New Energy Technologies

()
Prereq: Permission of instructor
Units: 3-0-9
Lecture: W2.30-5.30 (E51-057)

Project-based seminar reviews recent developments in energy conversion and storage technologies. Merits of alternative technologies are debated based on their environmental performance and cost, and their potential improvement and scalability. Project teams develop qualitative insights, quantitative models, and interactive visualization tools to inform the future development of technologies. Models may probe how the impact of a technology depends on assumptions about future advancements in performance, and how quantitative performance targets can be estimated to inform investment and design decisions. Other projects may develop models to inform rational investments in a portfolio of technologies based on economic and environmental performance and scalability constraints. Both information-based (e.g., software and codified practices) and physical technologies will be discussed.

16.886 Air Transportation Systems Architecting

()
Prereq: Permission of instructor
Units: 3-2-7
TBA.

Addresses the architecting of air transportation systems. Focuses on the conceptual phase of product definition including technical, economic, market, environmental, regulatory, legal, manufacturing, and societal factors. Centers on a realistic system case study and includes a number of lectures from industry and government. Past examples include the Very Large Transport Aircraft, a Supersonic Business Jet and a Next Generation Cargo System. Identifies the critical system level issues and analyzes them in depth via student team projects and individual assignments. Overall goal is to produce a business plan and a system specifications document that can be used to assess candidate systems.
