Hello, for my capstone design project, my team was in charge of developing an app for autistic individuals. The app would be created in an android system and it would connect via Bluetooth to a watch (which we develop). The messages send to the watch would be positive reinforcement such as good job and bad reinforcement such as “don’t do that.” The reason for why we did this project is because a lot of autistics kids have difficulties adapting to regular social life. I explained in more details what this project is about in a previous post. However, the way we assigned tasks was that the students broke down the product into sections. For example: 1) The app, 2) Circuitry of Watch, 3) Case and strap to be printed for watch. All the students brainstormed about each individual task that had to de bone in order to get a successful project. Although we did not call it Work Breakdown Structure, now I come to realize that this is concept is exactly what we did when we brainstormed the way we did. Additionally, the members of the group had different tracks in the Biomedical Engineering department. Therefore we tried to assign the tasks based on what was the previous experience of the student.
