Design Engineering-1

Design Engineering- for semester 3 mainly include 3 types of canvas:

               1. Empathy Mapping Canvas

               2. Ideation Canvas

               3. Product Development Canvas

1.Empathy Mapping Canvas:

                     What is Empathy Mapping, how to use it? Empathy Map is the canvas where designer has to observe and understand the emotional needs of the user, and on the basis of empathy of user he will think of the solution. A User Empathy Map can help tee up a discussion about the needs a user has. The discussion will be centred on what was observed, and what can be inferred about these user groups’ beliefs and emotions. An empathy mapping is a tool which helps us summarize our observations and take out unexpected ideas with no restriction & any bound.

2. Ideation:

                      Ideation Canvas is the creative process of generating, developing, and communicating new ideas, where an idea is understood as a basic element of thought that can be visual, concrete, or abstract. Ideation comprises all stages of a thought cycle, from innovation, to development, to actualization. As such, it is an essential part of the design process, both in education and practice. He explained how things can be connected to get a better idea. He said that most of the times, basically innovation is nothing but the combination of existing ideas.

3. Product Development Canvas:

                      On this canvas, the participants were to fill the purpose of their product and the experience of user when he uses their solution. Along with these things, product function, feature and components of the products need to be filled in appropriate places on the canvas.
