MIN Group Project - Spring 2015 6 Weeks Project Exercise: Solve the structural and dynamic movements about an object by making a full functional prototype. Case: Design a garden swinger for 2 or 3 people with solar protection (consider outside factors), it most fit in a box so the buyer could bring it to home in it’s own car and be assembled by himself.
IDEATE
After getting to know the design case, we research the state of art from garden swingers and then sketch some ideas to look for a concept.
PROTOTYPE
Once the concept was conceived to be a middle point swing made out of wood we started to prototype to see how it could function.
REFINE
After experimenting with two prototypes we started to simplify the design, we begin to make more sketches looking for better solutions and 3-D modeling to simulate aesthetics.
MANUFACTURE
Make our design come true by making a functional product that proves our theory and justify our design.
JOINTS
Ready to assemble in 30 minutes by 2 people.
GIRO Individual Project - Fall 2013 10 Weeks Project Exercise: Abstract the way of function of a camshaft mechanism to an object that involves a game. Case: Design a toy that considers the inertia and gravity force factors in interaction with the human body to play.
ANALYZE
Basing research at first in the way of function of camshaft mechanism, elaborate some variations that consider the essential factors that involve the mechanism.
IDEATE
Then I started to abstract the mechanism into an object with the same principles of functionality.
CONFIGURE
After an abstraction I started to create an object that involved a game and mass production viability.
REFINE
Once previous prototype was created some issues where needed to fix and improve in a new design solution.
MODEL MAKING
Some functional models where needed to develop, to be sure about the functionality of the product.
USER SEQUENCE Make the ball inside the toy run as fast as you can in a large period of time.
TIME TRAIN Group Project - Spring 2015 16 Weeks Project Exercise: Cooperate to develop a project solving special needs from 2 entrepreneurs. Case: Organize and assist people in the workspace to be more efficient with their duties.
TANgerine + Lizbeth Interior Design
EMPATHIZE
First we´ve got to identify the problems in their daily basis, his habits and abilities to solve them.
QUICK PROTOTYPE
By analyzing the previous info we planed a second session but these time focused on prototype in a matter to get more ideas to develop a solution to their needs.
IDEATE
Now with certain info about our users needs and wishes we ideate some concepts.
PROGRAM IT
Now with a concept and design made we started to prototype, these time we even made the electronics to simulate its functions entirely.
BENEFITS MONITOR PROTECT ACTIVITY FROM DISTRACTIONS MEASURE HOW MANY SETS PER TASK RECAP WORK AND REVIEW SET DAILY PERSONAL OBJECTIVE AS MOTIVATION
DONKEY Project - Spring 2013 2 Weeks Project Exercise: Make / Replicate an iconic bike for “Otra vuelta de rueda” Exhibition in Franz Mayer Museum in Mexico City. Case: Donkey bike by Ben Wilson and Jonathan Pooley
CRAFTS
Model a scale Donkey Bike
Donkey Bike Model
LAAN Group Project - Spring 2014 16 Weeks Project Exercise: Configure in a collaborative way a project to exercise our role qualities by working in teams. Case: Design a urban concept car for Mexico City basic needs of mobility.
PROBLE
As in almost every big city, there’s a research that the principal problem traf
EMATIC
a problem of mobility, we realize by in Mexico City is parking space and ffic.
EVOLUTION
QUALITIES
The vehicle is smart enough to fit perpendicular to sidewalk so there is a space saved (front exit was required so it can be much comfortable).
¨SMART ENOUGH TO FIT IN YOUR LIFE¨
MAINTENANCE Low cost mechanic components of maintenance. Easy access to engine and mechanics components.
PRICE Fuel efficient. Affordable for people with minimum wage.
COST Body work needed in vehicle. Easy manufacture. Low cost manufacture. Cheap mechanic components.
MAKO Team Project - 2014 / 2015 1 Year Project Exercise: Coordinate as Team Leader and Improve the vehicle performance for 2015 Shell eco marathon competition in Detroit. Case: Low weight, better visibility, energy efficient improvement, easy access to poser train maintenance.
PLANING
We spend some weeks to make and detail the strategy plan of the year, set goals, expectations and times for develop.
ANALYZE
Identify the improvements needed for next year competition by assistance of professors and experimented teammate.
MAKING
After analysis made, I decided to solve the problem of power train fork and help to solve the visibility problem.
IMPLEMENT
I proposed an aluminum power train fork with 5 kg less than previous one. It has now the capability to stock and shelter all power train components so they can be tested without vehicle.
COMPETITION
There were Technical Inspections in the competition (weight, dimensions, steering, driver security, brakes , visibility, design and electric system) tests where made before compete in the marathon.
RESULTS
114 Teams / 28 Battery Electric Prototypes / 18 Tech Specs / 12 Complete marathon / MAKO 10th place in America First time that the university complete the marathon Best Mexican prototype in the competition.
CLIMA Professional - Summer 2015 8 Weeks Project Exercise: Participate in second stage (Design) of geothermal AC system project at Coope.mx Case: Design the Geothermal heat pump and thermostat accord to the previous research.
CLI
A
PROBLE
There isn’t a Geothermal AC system i of pollution in
EMATIC
in Mexico that considers the problem n the country.
IDEATE
Aesthetics and production logic to develop in Mexico.
PROTOTYPE
Volumetric prototypes made to be sure about measures, interaction and configuration logic.
FUNCTIONS HEAT PUMP Register and display information about the whole geothermal system as: input / output temperature, energy consuming by component, correct functionality of system and gives hints to solve problems identified.
THERMOSTAT It control the way of function of the system, user can manage temperature of each room, schedule times and intensity of AC per hour and see money savings made each week.
LITTLE RUNNERS Group Project - Fall 2015 6 Weeks Project Exercise: Research the ergonomic and anthropocentric factors by testing and measure users to configure an object that has no impact with future injuries. Case: Design a product that helps to solve the problem of childhood obesity in the scholar environment by playing.
HOW TO SOLVE THE CHILD OBESITY PR
ROBLEM?
FACTS Mexico has the first place in Childhood obesity. Kids with these problem are excluded to play games that required specials skills.
IDEATE
After session made with kids in school we defined that the game most be even between participants, intuitive, and focused in more energy lost by playing the same amount of time.
TEST
We decided to make it even by interacting with a vehicle, but that vehicle was tested to study ergonomics and anthropocentric factors (height, comfort angles, stances) in interaction by playing.
10 Tests Analyzed
DESIGN
After session made with kids in school we defined that the game most be even between participants, intuitive, and focused in more energy lost by playing the same amount of time.
GAME
After session made with kids in school we defined that the game most be even between participants, intuitive, and focused in more energy lost by playing the same amount of time.
ASSEMBLY
It has the quality of many pad variations possibilities because its modular way of assembly.
¨LET KIDS PLAY COPS AND ROBBERS WITH RUNNERS¨
H LITTLE
BENEFITS 1. More fun than regular play because its traps around the pad 2. Use upper / lower muscles and core to move along 3. Equitable game between kids 4. More energy loose by playing 5. Explosive exercises
