This weekly report summarizes progress on a multidisciplinary product design project. Students from industrial design and engineering met to share concepts, with the goal of creating a product that enhances user happiness. Two concepts were presented: a "Moo-Ping Machine" that allows users to see the cooking process, and a "Feeder device" resembling a rocking horse to make eating more enjoyable socially. Instructors provided feedback, noting a need for more sharing of perspectives between disciplines. Students will work to select one idea and divide roles for its development.

Weekly Progress
This Weekly, I meet ID students again. ID students
present concept with engineer students so we are
interested in this concept.This concept design from ID
students that about the happiness more and more.ID
students tell me “We can play with felling of user” so our
product make good feeling before you ate. This product of
my group was “Moo-Ping Machine” which you can see
cooking process until finished. Otherwise product was
“Feeder device” which look like rocking horse that applied
to product for eating.The reason designed Feeder device
because we want user get good felling when eating with
lover or your friends.
Figure1. The thinking of my group
In the Afternoon, ID instructors were checked assign my groups and dicussed about product and
solution of thinking in my group.The result wasn’t pass in this time, ID instructors have over view
than students.He want ID students and engineer students sharing of thinking in this product.We were
modify product because we have not different analysis.In fact, we should think a lot of ideas before
make the product for the best product and exact to the objective.Then,ID students and engineering
students come back to shared new ideas.We think in daily of the human have various activity.We
think from simple base so we see a lot of ideas for made our product.During of thinking new ideas,
ID students got basic knowledge by engineer students.On the other hand,engineer student got basic
knowledge about the design as well.
Engineering Analysis
Strong Point
- The relationship in my group is the good relationship so in the work that smooth.
- The instructors try to the product stay in scope and between ability of different department.
- In this time, I think the both different students got the new knowledge, new ideas and new
method in work so apply in the future.
Week Point
- Because of different thinking, I think we should share ideas and knowledge more and more.
- For engineer, I hope this work to make more vision than now. Sometimes, the result isn’t the
best but the user wants it.
Next Week Job
ID students and engineer students should select the one idea and present to instructors. If
this idea passed, we plan to divide the part in the work.
