WELCOME AND INTRODUCTIONS

Remarks from Chair, Robert Warren:

Chair Robert Warren greeted the committee to the UCCC meeting, extending a welcome to the guests in attendance: Meredith Davis

(QEP), Pat Spakes (QEP), Marjie Srsic (Office of Assessment), and Carrie Zelna (Office of Assessment)

QEP Presentation

Meredith Davis presented the goals and expectation of the QEP committee. The purpose of this initiative is to track the confidence of

NCSU students throughout their academic career. What has been documented is that NCSU students arrive as freshman believing they

possess creative and critical thinking skills. However, their confidence appears to lessen once they enter the workplace. QEP hopes to

facilitate NCSU’s students’ confidence and ability in critical and creative thinking skills. Dr. Davis assured the committee that if

changes were to be made to the courses used to assess students, UCCC would be notified. The courses would go through the standard

process for review. She noted that students are not being taught new content, but rather are being taught the standard information in

new ways. Dr. Davis solicited UCCC’s support for the QEP if the committee felt the plan was moving in the right direction. A

member made a motion to support the QEP plan as presented; it was seconded, and APPROVED unanimously.

Non Profits Study Minor-APPROVED unanimously.

Discussion: One member wanted more information about what the revision to the three courses being added to the minor

would entail. After the presenter, Scott Despain, explained that the three courses would be added to the elective portion of

the minor, the committee member was satisfied. Another member wanted to check that the Accounting Department had

given a consult, and the estimate of students that would take these courses per semester. The committee confirmed that these

courses would only be open to students pursuing Accounting majors and minors and that the necessary consult could be

found in the Agenda & Actions handout. The anticipated number of enrollment is five students per semester. With no more

discussion the action was APPROVED unanimously.

MAJOR ACTIONS

HESD 274- Modern Dance I- APPROVED unanimously.

HESD 275- Modern Dance II- APPROVED unanimously.

AEC 400- Applied Ecology- APPROVED unanimously.

Discussion: One member was concerned with the instructor’s sentiment towards excuses for missed work and unexcused

absences. While she understood the need to explain the attendance policy, she felt that the excuse examples were not

appropriate to list. The committee determined that this was something to be determined by the instructor. With no further

discussion the action was APPROVED unanimously.

HA 310- History of Art and Photography- APPROVED unanimously with friendly suggestions.

Discussion: One member noted that the grading scale did not include an A+. This opens the professor up to students’

challenges to grading. Many members thought that the grading policy was clear on its grading scale +/-. Dr. Kirby explained

that the Grading Policy and Regulation was adopted with the +/- scale being the standard. However, the wording implies that

instead of having to adhere to the standard, faculty and departments are encouraged to. Some faculty and departments take

3

this to mean that it is optional. Students tend to challenge a professor who does not adhere to the +/- system, especially

when said students are on the borderline of B+ and A-, so some departments have adopted the +/- to avoid these issues.. The

presenter will check to see if the instructor meant to leave off the A+.

Another member noted that the course objectives do not have the correct language. The objectives explain what the instructor

is doing, not what the student will learn or can do. Another member suggested deleting the course objectives and just keeping

the GEP learning outcomes. Because this course is changing in its numbering, once is approved by UCCC, it will go before

CUE for review. However, there is a possibility that the course will not be approved by CUE for the VPA GEP category.

Another member worried that the course objectives may not be specific enough for an upper level course. How will students

be assessed on their skills? The presenter will speak to the instructor on what they would prefer to do.

Without further discussion, the action was APPROVED unanimously Pending clarification of the course outcomes and

GEP outcomes. Friendly suggestions to determine A+ on the grading scale.

LPS 205- International Leadership Strategies for the Public Sector-APPROVED unanimously.

DISCUSSION

400 Level GEP Courses

Dr. Kirby gave an overview of the conversation currently occurring in CUE. She noted that NCSU is going through the SACS

accreditation process, as are two other UNC system institutions. Among the institutions in the UNC system there have been clear

differences in how the General Education Program is administered. For example, at UNC-Chapel Hill they perceive that their students

receive a ‘broad’ education, and can therefore comprehend the subject matter at various levels. Their GE course offeringsmayspan all

levels of courses including graduate level courses. At Chapel Hill, a standard numbering system is used but students are told that they

should not assume the courses are arranged in ascending order of difficulty or specialization. Students are cautioned to check the pre-

requisites to determine if they are prepared to take the course. The numbering scheme is unique to the department. The University of

Tennessee-Chattanooga states the general education courses require no prior level college background in the area of study. UNCG

restricts general education courses to the 100, 200 and 300 level courses. Prerequisites also play into the General Education Program.

How narrow can a course be before a student would need to have discipline specific prerequisite to understand the material in a 400-

level course? Dr. Kirby noted that she has heard from departments that students need to take upper level GEP courses at the senior

level. Waiting until senior year to complete a gen ed requirement creates graduation issues if a senior is unable to enroll in a course

needed for GEP fulfillment.

The concern is that with more advanced courses at the 400-lvel, students will struggle more so than at the 300-level.

More courses are being brought before CUE at the 400 level, or revising existing GEP courses to be at the 400-level. An additional

concern is that some of these 400 level courses are also cross listed with 500 level courses intended for graduate students. One

member asked how often a student receives GEP credit for a 400-level course. The actual number of students who take higher level

courses for GEP credit is being researched with Registration and Records’ help. Dr. Kirby explained that presently, if one ignores the

HES category, thirty percent of GEP courses are at an upper level. One member noted that she supports upper level GEP courses as

she believes it helps students obtain minors and fill requirements. Another member noted that if a student is gaining a minor from

fulfilling a GEP requirement, then it may not be broadening their education. In the case of HA 410 (Formerly HA 310), the status of

their GEP categorization will not be decided until the CUE Task Force gives a recommendation on upper level GEP classes. Thus, its

status will not be determined at this time..

Departmental Certificates-Change in Title

Dr. Kirby explained that the lack of university oversight concerning departmental certificates is a SACS issue. University sanctioned

certificates are assessed and transcripted. UNC-GA is notified and the certificate is entered into our certificate program inventory on

the general administration website. The current University Undergraduate Certificates are on the OUCC website . A University

Certificate moves through the campus approval routing and is signed by the Chancellor and have assessment plans.

Dr. Kirby noted that there are departmental certificates in existence that UCCC and the administration do not know about. She

believes that many are intended for professional development, but are not shown on a student’s transcript. Students and employers call

wanting to know what a student took to complete a certificate. However, since these certificates do not exist at the university level, it

is up to the department to maintain records. Additionally, departments create their own certificates, and are not supposed to use NCSU

branding.

One member noted that certificates show specialization, and provides confirmation that an individual has expertise in a subject or

skill. Should this not be documented for alumni and/or possible employers? He also believes that if a department is not going to bring

forth a certificate to be assessed, then the university should at least know that the certificate is in existence. The university will need to

know what the department is offering, and what courses constitute the plan of work for a departmental certificate. Another member

wondered if at even the departmental level there should be guidelines, such as credit hour limit. One committee member felt that

guidelines should be outlined, so that students are protected from enrolling in something that is not clearly outlined.

Another member wondered if a departmental certificate cannot be assessed, does it possess the validity to be a certificate at all? If it

cannot be assessed, then it cannot be categorized. Because students are taking courses believing they will receive a university

certificate, should this not be reviewed? Without funding from the department, this certificate would slowly fade out. One member

worried that some of the certificates being offered currently were ‘sketchy’ and only used to be money raisers - if there isn’t some

show of benefit to students, then the certificate is ‘sketchy’. The complete list of the undergraduate certificates presently being offered

is located from the Registration and Records site and also on the OUCC site.

One member asked if the certificate would be called Undergraduate Departmental Certificate and Graduate Departmental Certificate

of Accomplishment. Another member noted that she did not think that Undergraduate needed to be in the title, as the Graduate school

has already made a designation of its certificates. The consensus among the committee was that a change would occur in the naming

of departmental certificates; the only question is how best to reflect the difference between departmental and university certificates.

A motion was made to create a similar recommendation based on the graduate school process adopted in regards to University

Graduate Certificates, translating it to the certificates at the Undergraduate level. This motion was seconded. After some discussion,

an amendment was made stating that departments will still need to provide information concerning programs that departments do not

want to be University Certificates, in order to track them. This was then seconded. It was APPROVED by all, with the exception of

one abstention. An amendment to the amendment was made stating that UCCC accepts the outline and spirit of the graduate school

memo, subject to drafting undergraduate terminology. This motion was seconded. There was some discussion about the use of

Certificate in the title for a departmental ‘certificate of accomplishment’ since SACS does not distinguish between the types of

certificates, only that all certificates should be assessed. Dr. Kirby will discuss with the SACS liaison and the graduate school for

clarification. With no further discussion, the motion was APPROVED unanimously. After the amendments were made, the motion,

with its two amendments, was APPROVED by all, with the exception of one abstention. The passed motion was to create a similar

recommendation based on the graduate school process adopted in regards to University Graduate Certificates, translating it to the

certificates at the Undergraduate level, subject to drafting undergraduate terminology and that departments will still need to provide

information concerning programs that departments do not want to be University Certificates, in order to track them.

The meeting was adjourned at 2:24pm.

MT 366 – Biotextile Product Development - Course Action May 2013. Justification for Course Action: Reasons for Proposed Revisions: In the revised curriculum all students will take three (3) “Technical Textile Product” courses. The one addressing “Medical Textiles” issues is this existing course: MT366 “Biotextile Product Development”. However, this existing course is currently offered only to Textile Technology students in the Medical Textile Concentration who already have a BIO183 Cell Biology course pre-requisite. The attached revisions to the MT366 course outline are so as to make this course of more general interest to all students in the Textile Technology program, and not require all TT students to take the BIO183 Biology course. To achieve this, the following changes are being proposed: i) The content of the course has been widened to cover all medical textile products

and implantable biotextiles. This is reflected in the revised catalog description and in the revised list of “Student Learning Outcomes”.

ii) The pre-requisites no longer require a cell biology course. Instead, the important concepts of cell biology, as they relate to blood cells, inflammatory cells and micro-organisms will be covered in the revised MT366 course outline (See attached).

iii) The other pre-requisite courses are those required in the revised Textile Technology curriculum, e.g. the polymer materials course, TE200, and the new yarn course, TT327.

Enrolment over Last 5 Years: 2009: 10 2010: 13 2011: 13 2012: 16 2013: 20

Resources Statement: No additional resources will be needed to deliver this revised course. Consultation with Other Departments: Not necessary Student Learning Outcomes: These are the seven (7) student learning outcomes listed in the revised course syllabus.

1. Explain the approach used by the Food and Drug Administration to classify medical textiles and implantable biotextile products into three classes of increasing risk.

2. Explain the product development process from identifying the healthcare need through to product delivery and patient use as it applies to medical textiles and implantable biotextile products.

3. Select the appropriate natural or synthetic, permanent or resorbable polymer for the development of particular healthcare, medical and surgical textile products.

7

4. Select the appropriate woven, nonwoven, knitted or braided textile structure to achieve the desired physical and mechanical performance of particular healthcare, medical and surgical textile products.

5. Select the appropriate surface modification or coating technology that will impart the desirable biological performance for particular healthcare, medical and surgical textile products.

6. Select the appropriate sterilization technique to ensure sterility of particular healthcare, medical and surgical textile products.

7. Discuss current and future uses of bioresorbable and electroactive polymers, drug delivery systems, genetically modified biopolymers and tissue engineering scaffolds in the development of new and innovative healthcare, medical and surgical textile products.

Attendance: Attendance in lectures is highly recommended and is rewarded with an additional grade. An attendance roll will be taken during each lecture. The student is responsible for the material covered in class whether or not he/she is present. Three unexcused absences from lectures are allowed during the semester before attendance marks start to be lost. For each unexcused absence after three the student will lose 1% of his/her final grade. Please refer to the policy at: http://policies.ncsu.edu/regulation/reg-02-20-03

Excused When a student is absent for a legitimate medical, compassionate or Absence: University reason, she/he must submit written documentation to the instructor

explaining the reason, preferably in advance, but at least within one week of the event. This will then permit the student to sit a test at an alternative time, or receive a time extension for handing in homework or to delay completion of the course without penalty.

Evaluation: In order for students to be assigned a final grade for the course, she/he must complete the three tests and submit all homework assignments and the independent written project by their expected due date. The final grade for the course will be calculated from the following components:

Three tests (10% each) 30% Attendance 10% Five homework assignments (5% each) 25% Independent project – oral presentation 10% Independent project – written report 25% -------- Total: 100% -------- The final letter grade for the course will be obtained by using the conversion

http://www.northcarolina.edu/policy/index.php?tag=700.4.2+ academic dishonesty is defined as the "giving, taking, or presenting of

information or material by a student that unethically or fraudulently aids oneself or another on any work which is to be considered in the determination of a grade or the completion of academic requirements or the enhancement of that student's record or academic career". This means that any work submitted in this course for grading must be the work of the student who submits it and whose name is indicated on the assignment as the author.

Copying someone else's work and presenting it as your own, allowing your work to be knowingly copied by someone else who presents it as their own work, and submitting joint work with another student but indicating that you are the sole author, are all examples of plagiarism. Clearly this is dishonest, and is not acceptable.

Penalties for such offences can include a failing grade for the assignment or

for the entire course and will automatically lead to a Report on an Academic Integrity Violation being submitted to the University Office of Student Conduct. Students unsure of what constitutes plagiarism should ask the instructor, call the Office of Student Conduct at 1115 Pullan Hall (919-515-2963), download and consult the University policy: POL11.35.1 and/or download “statements of “Academic Integrity” from the University’s webpage at:

deadlines! Students should regularly back up their computer files while working on assignments (refer to the “Course Workspace Lockers” section).. Arrangements for missed exams will be made on an individual basis provided it is an excused absence. Make-up exams may be given orally and ONLY for students with University-approved absences (REG02.20.3)3. Since in-class work is an in-class experience, there are no make-ups for in-class labs, except for University-approved absences.

- 4 - Academic Students are reminded that cheating or plagiarism in any form is totally Integrity: unacceptable behavior. In the University Policy on Academic Integrity,

http://www.northcarolina.edu/policy/index.php?tag=700.4.2+ academic dishonesty is defined as the "giving, taking, or presenting of

information or material by a student that unethically or fraudulently aids oneself or another on any work which is to be considered in the determination of a grade or the completion of academic requirements or the enhancement of that student's record or academic career". This means that any work submitted in this course for grading must be the work of the student who submits it and whose name is indicated on the assignment as the author.

Copying someone else's work and presenting it as your own, allowing

your work to be knowingly copied by someone else who presents it as their own work, and submitting joint work with another student but indicating that you are the sole author, are all examples of plagiarism. Clearly this is dishonest, and is not acceptable.

Penalties for such offences can include a failing grade for the

assignment or for the entire course and will automatically lead to a Report on an Academic Integrity Violation being submitted to the University Office of Student Conduct. Students unsure of what constitutes plagiarism should ask the instructor, call the Office of Student Conduct at 1115 Pullan Hall (919-515-2963), download and consult the University policy: POL11.35.1 and/or download “statements of “Academic Integrity” from the University’s webpage at:

1. Course Justification

The course is required as a key component of the revised curriculum in Textile Technology. This new offering will consolidate the contents of previously offered courses in yarn production, into one integrated course. This measure was taken to avoid the duplication which was evident in earlier course offerings which consisted of:

o TT 221 – an introductory level course, covering the processing of staple fibers.

o TT 321 –this treated the topics introduced in TT 221 at a more advanced level

o TT 425 – an elective course which focused on the processing of filament yarns.

The combination of the contents of these into a single course (with increased credit hours) should benefit the students by illustrating that the principles of processing are similar for filament and staple fibers. Furthermore this will naturally lead to the growth area of composite yarns, where staple and filament yarns are combined into one structure. An added advantage is that this will make better use of available resources.

The course will be taken by sophomore students and will provide them with the required knowledge to advance through the curricula, as they move through the progression of stages in the textile supply chain.

2. Resources statement

The consolidation of two other classes into this single offering should afford some savings in resources. The course will be taught by the instructor who has to date been teaching TT 321. As soon as the current cohort of TT has passed TT 321, TT 321 and TT 425 will be dropped from course catalog.

CATALOG DESCRIPTION: (INCLUDE ANY RESTRICTIVE, TRANSPORTATION, OR FEE STATEMENTS) (100 WORD LIMIT) This is Part 1 of 2 for the Senior Capstone Design Course. Students work in cross-functional teams to research and solve real-world problems in fibers, polymers and textile science utilizing their foundation skills in Textile Technology. TT401 and TT402 must be taken in the same academic year as the class is project and team dependent.

TT401/ TT402: TT Senior Design I & II

Justification This course is the capstone design course for all concentrations of Textile Technology. It applies

knowledge skills acquired from the classroom to solve real-world issues targeting the fiber,

polymer science, and textile industries. The objectives incorporate responsible design with the

aim of improving the well-being of society through economic development, streamlined

globalization, and commercial viability. Students in the Textile Engineering, Science, and

Chemistry Department are expected to graduate with the skills necessary to conceive, specify,

implement, test, produce, and market complex engineering systems. The capstone senior design

course provides them with the opportunity to creatively synthesize a solution for problems

outside the classroom. They work on teams, study commercialization processes, utilize project

management tools, think globally, determine intellectual property and apply patent mapping

principles. We cooperate with local industries and campus research units to obtain real-life

design projects for the students to analyze, understand the “State of Technology”, and deliver a

working prototype to address the engineering challenge.

This course is a two semester sequence TT401 and TT402. It is necessary to do upfront

research, project concept development, and reiteration of concept design over the academic year.

All other senior capstone design instructors that attempt to complete this in one semester,

typically believe that a two-semester sequence is a more complete experience for the students.

As such, students will be in the design laboratory in both semesters with lectures provided

throughout the year. They will also be work on cross-functional teams that will, at a minimum,

comprise textile engineers but based on the complexity of their project may expand into other

disciplines (both in and outside COT).

Enrollment N/A

New Resources An innovation lab has already been renovated for senior design (RM 1204). The vision of this

lab is to provide the students an environment that enables their success as we launch them into

"the new economy". We are a multi-disciplinary college. People thrive in work spaces that are

conducive to innovation. For example, in TE401/402 (the sister course for TT401/402) the

students have brought in ECE students to their teams, EEP students, and are in the process of

recruiting COT design students. Our company sponsors want to see this collaboration in action.

Having a secure place akin to the IDEO workplace empowers the students to reach their full

potential. As we bring sponsors through the college and recruit new companies, this space will

prove invaluable. The goal is to have cross disciplinary teams consisting of technologists and

engineers. Therefore, the current instructor for TE 401/402 will be teaching TT 401/402 as well.

TT 499 will be dropped from the program as these two classes will be replacing TT 499 which

has been offered every semester. The freeing up of this instructor will facilitate assisting Julie

Willoughby in the combination class.

30

Consultation with Other Departments No duplication or overlap of content was cited in consultation with other departments in the

College of Textiles. This course will be co-taught with TE401/402. The engineers on the teams

will have extra project requirements to satisfy ABET guidelines.

Catalog Course Description: • The design process including initial specification, design constraints, sources of information, and design strategy. • Development of fact-finding ability in areas unfamiliar to the student. • Analysis of existing designs and the development of improved designs.

TT401/ 402 are the capstone design sequence for the Textile Technology undergraduate curriculum. You are expected to take all the skills acquired from your education and apply them to this course. The course is designed not to have a yes/ no answer. Real-life industrial/ business problems are rarely black and white situations. It is the job of the responsible employee to effectively evaluate a problem and deliver a solution. This course can have a high degree of frustration for the student wanting a closed-end solution. It is the instructor’s goal to prepare you for your next career phase by providing tools and techniques for defining seemingly open-ended problems. By the end of the TT401/ 402 design sequence you will

Learning Outcomes: Students will be able to: 1. Communicate effectively (and concisely) their project problem, objectives, and proposed solutions through written and oral presentations, 2. Work efficiently in teams to deliver high-performing results, 3. Assess the state-of-the-art technology for your given project and be able to translate these skills to any subject matter, 4. Analyze your project and solution from an initial financial, economic, technical, ethical, and commercial perspectives, 5. Protect and develop your ideas with appropriate patent mapping and intellectual property assessment, and 6. Design, develop, and deliver proof of concept(s) for your project sponsor based on analysis. Course Strategy: The course is divided into two parallel activities to achieve the objectives.

1. Lectures and individual assignments will provide new concepts and materials. 2. Design teams will solve a real-world problem.

Team Dynamics: A significant part of this course is team dynamics. Teams must learn to integrate differing styles and opinions into a common strategy/direction shared by all members of the team. There will be ample information provided to support teams throughout the course.

33

Meetings: Teams will be expected to identify a scheduled meeting time for weekly meetings outside the normal class hours. Each team should use conventions that promote successful meetings. Methods for structuring and analyzing information, and decision-making will be discussed throughout the semester. Attendance at team meetings is expected and must be reported. Field Trip(s) and off-campus activities: Students will be expected to participate in various off-campus field trips and activities for successful completion of the project. Project Guidelines: The project is divided into four Phases: Research/Explore Organization Output/Decisions Phase 1. Problem Definition

Understand customer

Collecting information

Identify Customer/product Requirements

Phase 2. Concept Ideation

Identify market Opportunities

Idea Generation Identify Multiple Product Options

Phase 3. Concept Selection

University policies as set forth in the Academic Policies and Regulations (REG02.20.3)1 will be used to determine whether an absence will be considered excused. Only the following reasons will be considered excused: 1) death in the family, 2) personal illness, 3) representing the university at an event, or 4) prior arrangement with the instructor. Attendance in class, at seminars, field trips, design day, and symposiums is mandatory. For each unexcused absence 1/3 letter grade will be deducted from your final course grade. The penalty is severe due to no formal examinations Academic Integrity: Students are expected to follow the University policy on academic integrity as set forth in the Code of Student Conduct (POL11.35.1)2. Dishonesty is unfair to everyone, especially those who do their work honestly. Academic dishonesty will be fully prosecuted and given to the Judicial System, and can result in a failing grade in this course. All work turned in with your name is assumed to be only your own work. Use of Facilities: (a) The Textile Engineering Design Laboratory can be used during posted hours. (b) You are not permitted to work in any non-computer laboratory space alone! Always lock the Lab if you are the last person to leave. (c) Tools are provided and marked. Each team is responsible for replacing any tools lost. A weekly inventory of the tools must be taken.

TT 401: list of assignments for the Fall Semester Group Grades (55% of your course grade)

40

Google Site (20% of group grade): All members of team to be given edit access to website for collaboration and project management. Example site is https://sites.google.com/site/demoncsuteseniordesign/ The components in the demo site are the skeleton requirements needed for your project. These include

• Title of Project • Who is the Customer/ sponsor with contact info • Team members with contact info • Project Definition • Project Boundaries or constraints • Task tracker with to-do list and item ownership; it is essential that you demonstrate each members contributions on the project • Calendar of activities with project milestones. A Gantt chart or excel spreadsheet (Viewpath works nicely) • Project blog and updates • Project files

All the other assignments feed into the Google Site. A well-functioning website will streamline your project. Instructor will be reviewing progress on site weekly. Stand-alone Documents (20% of Group Grade)

• State of Technology: Analysis of state of technology including pertinent engineering principles associated with the project. The state of the technology paper should include jargon, theory, terms, and methods that are pertinent to the understanding of the project scope. It should reference patent literature, open literature (including journals, books, trade magazines, etc.) and web resources. In addition, you should identify other technologies or application areas that you could potentially use as a “benchmark” for your project. A minimum of 30 references should be included in your assessment. The 30 references should comprise of at least 10 technical peer-reviewed journal articles, 5 patents, and 5 business journal articles. This paper should be at least 4000 words, 4 high-quality figures, and 2 tables. Do NOT exceed 15 pages total (11 pt times roman, 1 inch margins)

• Product Needs and Specifications: Format should be a technical sales brochure (at least 1-page long and not longer than 2 pages). Must include success metrics for performance and sponsor (or marketplace) acceptance

• Concept Descriptions: This is your innovation log-book. Concisely describe ideas (1 page per idea with paragraph explanation and sketch). Minimum requirement is three thoroughly described ideas.

• Concept Justification: The work from descriptions, economic analysis, and budgets will feed this work

41

https://sites.google.com/site/demoncsuteseniordesign/

In some cases in order to justify a concept it is obvious that economics and budgets must be carried out. An Economic Analysis for the selected concept is due after the Concept Selection and Justification but it is likely you have them completed in parallel.

Final Prospectus (20% of Group Grade): If you run your project successfully, you will have to only compile the components of above with an intro and conclusion. This document will be refined in TE402 Oral Presentations I and II plus poster (40% of Group Grade/ 20% of Individual Grade)

• Oral Presentation I : Project Scope/ Objective/ Needs, State of the Art • Oral Presentation II: Presentation of Ideas • Poster for Design Day: Your final prospectus in poster format

Catalog Course Description:

The design process including initial specification, design constraints, sources of information, and design strategy.

Development of fact-finding ability in areas unfamiliar to the student.

Analysis of existing designs and the development of improved designs. TT401/ 402 are the capstone design sequence for the Textile Technology curriculum. You are expected to take all the skills acquired from your education and apply them to this course. The course is designed not to have a yes/ no answer. Real-life industrial/ business problems are rarely black and white situations. It is the job of the responsible employee (in your case the student) to effectively evaluate a problem and deliver a solution. This course can have a high degree of frustration for the student wanting a closed-end solution. It is the instructor’s goal to prepare you for your next career phase by providing tools and techniques for defining seemingly open-ended problems. By the end of the TT401/ 402 design sequence you will

Learning Outcomes: Students will be able to: 1. Communicate effectively (and concisely) their project problem, objectives, and proposed solutions through

written and oral presentations, 2. Work efficiently in teams to deliver high-performing results, 3. Assess the state-of-the-art technology for your given project and be able to translate these skills to any

subject matter, 4. Analyze your final project solution from financial, economic, technical, ethical, and commercial

perspectives, 5. Protect and develop your ideas with appropriate patent mapping and intellectual property assessment,

and 6. Design, develop, and deliver proof-of-principles prototype(s) for your project sponsor. Course Strategy: The course is divided into two parallel activities to achieve the objectives.

1. Lectures and individual assignments will provide new concepts and materials. 2. Design teams will solve a real-world problem.

Team Dynamics: A significant part of this course is team dynamics. Teams must learn to integrate differing styles and opinions into a common strategy/direction shared by all members of the team.

Time Commitment Expectations: This class is designed to give flexibility with responsibility to students as they conduct and complete the course objectives. This class is designed to simulate the industrial environment. This is a 3 hour credit course. It is a general expectation of college courses to spend 2-3 hours per credit hour outside of class for results at the A level. In reality, this class should be approached as a “do-whatever-it -takes” to get the job done. Class time is lab-time, attendance will be noted. Written contracts will be handed out for all team members to sign. Each team is to keep a log of their meeting times via a calendar system. Attendance will be taken in class. Due to the nature of project work, you will likely need to be somewhere besides the design lab for your project. It is imperative that you clearly document the activity that kept you out of the lab. Class time and scheduled calendar times give you ample opportunity to work with your professor--make use of it. Last minute cramming of the project will not be tolerated. Field Trip(s) and off-campus activities: Students will be expected to participate in various off-campus field trips and activities for successful completion of the project. Project Guidelines: The TT401/ TT402 is divided into four topics:

Research/Explore Organization Output/Decisions

1. Problem Definition

Understand customer

Collecting information

Identify Customer/product Requirements

2. Concept Ideation Identify market Opportunities

Idea Generation Identify Multiple Product Options

3. Concept Selection

Gather Data Gain Insight

Multiple Data Sets and Perspectives

4. Concept Refinement (mostly TE 402)

Translation Visualization

Testing, Modeling, Economic Analysis

Proving, Selling the Product
