Outline

• Project 1

• Project 2

Project 1: Rolling Walker

Project 1: Rolling Walker Goals & Objectives

• To produce a model that can be used by people with disabilities

• Educating target where it demonstrates the ability of students to use their skills and knowledge

• Implementation of the engineering design process to produce a final model with related documentation

Project 1: Rolling Walker Technical Requirements

• The walker should contain 4 large wheels on it for ease of movement.

• It should feature hand brakes and the handle must be adjustable for sake of functionality

• There should be the possibility to lock the wheels

• It should be used as a seat as well

• A complete model should be built by the end of the semester, with necessary documentation

Project 2: Anti Smoking Quest! Goals & Objectives

• To produce a model (or simulation model) to show smoking & its harmful effects

• Educating target is high school pupils & kids

• Model must be fully automated & attractive (press one button and go!)

• High tech sensors & nice display of measurements

• Transparent to visualize accumulation of dark spots on lungs

Project 2: Anti Smoking Quest! Technical Requirements

• The smoking model should show the bad habit and the damaging effect in human lungs or environment for educating schools

• It should show the breathing and puffing habit of human when smoking

• The model should occupy minimum space and lowest number of smoking cigarette to show the effects

• It is highly recommended to use sensors or measuring techniques to evaluate contents of smoking including tar, CO, and CO2

• A complete model should be built by the end of the semester, with necessary documentation (it is recommended films and photos taken during whole semester of your weekly activities)

Anti Smoking Quest! Lungs

• What are lungs?

• What are they made of?

• How they work?

• What are smoking effects?

• What are lung diseases?

• What is good for lungs?

• How to protect them?

Anti Smoking Quest! Kids Education

• Have you visited Kuwait Science Museum?

• How to make it fun for kids?

• What sound or music effects?

• What visual effects?

• Shall we make it as a game?

• How to impress kids not smoking?

• What scientific measurements and learning?

Anti Smoking Quest! High Tec Devices

• What sensors and devices?

• Shall we use One Push Button (automated)?

• How to make costs affordable?

• What visual devices?

• What sound devices?

• What processors etc.?

Anti Smoking Quest! What to measure?

• Nicotine? How to measure?

• Aerosols?

• Gases components? Look at MOT engine gas analyzers?

• Temperature?

• Pressure?

• Flow rate?

• Humidity?

Projects! Benefits!

• The best team will be awarded a prize!

• Attractive allowance of KWD for each team’s project

• Collaboration with business school students in preparing Business Plan and Marketing

• Brain storming experience
