of aesthetic differences, as well as many new ways of
making it more comfortable for the human body.

The To apply the aspects of design (functionality, aesthetics, and

Challen ergonomics) to the design of a computer desk, as well as

The Follow each step listed below, and check off each step when
Process: complete.

o Step1- Research! - Discuss with your partner what are

some common issues that you deal with on a daily (or
frequent) basis, and list as many as you can in your
electronic portfolio. If you do not have any issues,
write down what you like about your design. Also
make sure to check out other designs on the internet
as well. If you would like to point out issues of a
specific type please feel free to include pictures in your
electronic portfolio.
o Step 2- Brainstorming! – Based on your research,
have each member of your group come up with one
isometric sketch of a potential design. Make sure to
address the issues that are listed in your webpage!
Each sketch should be neat, labeled (as needed to
show me everything that is on the design), and has
notes so that I understand what is going on in your
design.
o Step 3- Plan it! – Pick one idea that you like the best,
and then create it in CAD (ProDesktop or Autosketch).
Your final drawing should have all sizes (dimensions)
that are necessary to build the object (these are
mandatory, see grading sheet on back), as well as all
notes necessary to build your design. This drawing
should include the following views: Front, Top, Right
Side, and Isometric.
o Step 4- Build it! – Using the tools and materials
provided create your design. This model should be
actual size! However do realize it will have to
 physically work, if you are unsure about something, let
me know and I will assist you with it!
o Step 5- Feedback – In your webpage please type a 2
paragraph response about your designing experience.
Make sure it is logical, and do not repeat the same
thing over multiple times!
