User, User Traits
• Know your user
• Traits: Character, behavior, personality,
  age, qualities, knowledge etc.
• Think about the traits of some typical
  users like Kids, girls, women, men, aged
  people
• User liking and usual patterns and
  perception about shape, color, size
  Imagine spherical mobile, cube shaped
  tea cup, black doctors operating gown,
  red color washing machine
• Ensure you add notes about your
  thoughts


                                              http://ceedindia.blogspot.com
3M: Materials, Mechanics & Manufacturing

• Materials: Know what is used for what, know little detail. Example every
  kid in town knows plastic and steel. You need to be more specific, know
  the need and answer

• Mechanics: Engineers know this better, make use of this knowledge. (link
   mechanisms, rotations, conversions, etc)

• Manufacturing: Know basics of manufacturing processes for plastics,
  metals and wood like forming, extrusion, injection molding, rolling etc. (Say
   how do you make coins? How to manufacture a straw)

General Knowledge and awareness
1. Let’s 1st lets understand why is this needed?
2. GK and CEED?
  – This is not must have, but there may be some
    questions around this
  – Ideal is to know who’s who, different key events
    across time.
  – Current and last few years key news articles.



                                    http://ceedindia.blogspot.com
Before the Examination
• Do some planning about how you want to answer different questions
   Ex. - for a design problem you may think of solution diagram, small 2/3 key points USPs of the design and 2/3
   points about key problems your design solves .
• Decide on your own styles
• Know that there is a competition and you are not alone.
   Good concept with bad sketch Vs average concept with well planned answer and sketch – think
   what will be picked. So just best idea may not win!
• Have some differentiator with you be it by your drawing, colors,
  imagination skills, materials you use or can even be a layout of your
  answers, etc.
• Be little creative and unusual
• Keep in mind to explain your thoughts, but do not write pages/essays of
  content as CEED is more visual
• Do not get overwhelmed or depressed by other CEED aspirants who come
  with lots of gadgets and gizmos to the examination
• Refer at least one old paper to know what kind of questions you will face



                                                                               http://ceedindia.blogspot.com
Before the Examination

   You may be blank, you may think I have not
      prepared but do not worry it’s usual.

CEED is not like usual academics where you have
   to upload tons of data till exam in your head
            and download it in exam 
