 Part B
Answer any ONE question from each module. Each question carry 14 marks
Module 1
11.Show the designing of a wrist watch going through the various stages of the
design process. Use hand sketches to illustrate the processes.
or
12. Find the customer requirements for designing a new car showroom. Show how
the design objectives were finalized considering the design constraints?

Module 2
13. Illustrate the design thinking approach for designing a bag for college students
within a limited budget. Describe each stage of the process and the iterative
procedure involved. Use hand sketches to support your arguments.
or
14. Construct a number of possible designs and then refine them to narrow down to
the best design for a drug trolley used in hospitals. Show how the divergent-
convergent thinking helps in the process. Provide your rationale for each step by
using hand sketches only.

10
 Module 3
15. Graphically communicate the design of a thermo flask used to keep hot coffee.
Draw the detailed 2D drawings of the same with design detailing, material selection,
scale drawings, dimensions, tolerances, etc. Use only hand sketches.
or
16. Describe the role of mathematical modelling in design engineering. Show how
mathematics and physics play a role in designing a lifting mechanism to raise 100 kg
of weight to a floor at a height of 10 meters in a construction site.

Module 4
17.Show the development of a nature inspired design for a solar powered bus waiting
shed beside a highway. Relate between natural and man-made designs. Use hand
sketches to support your arguments.
or
18. Show the design of a simple sofa and then depict how the design changes when
considering 1) aesthetics and 2) ergonomics into consideration. Give hand sketches
and explanations to justify the changes in designs.

11
 Module 5
19. Examine the changes in the design of a foot wear with constraints of 1)
production methods, 2) life span requirement, 3) reliability issues and 4)
environmental factors. Use hand sketches and give proper rationalization
for the changes in design.
