Attributes of an Ideal Design Problem
- Real, rather than contrived
- The sponsor has an interest in a solution
- Support (intellectual and financial) is provided by the sponsor for out of pocket expenses
- There is not a rigid pre-conceived solution required by the sponsor
- The sponsor is interested in the educational merit of the project as well as the utility of the project
- The sponsor appreciates the uncertainty associated with a project and especially while working with undergraduate students
- The sponsor understands the university's intellectual property policy and will agree to it. Note: confidentiality agreements and collaborative agreements may be negotiated to address special concerns.
- The scope is appropriate for senior students in the context of a design course environment (this means that it is a major undertaking for the students requiring on the order of 10-15 hours per week of work per student)
