Ergonomic Adaptation of Musical Materials Project: First experience feedbacks of a Two-year multidisciplinary human experience of mechanical engineering students
Résumé
Design in multidisciplinary fields is one of the important subjects discussed in importance and effect of design education. Considering the lack of industrial experiences for engineering students, in most of universities, some special projects are defined every year in order to provide a practical experience of the student, in order to help them feel about their possible future carrier. These projects are supposed to be different form final project, as they are team based, not purely engineering research and not in perspective of normal internship. In this article, firstly we present the AE2M Project with general aim of make an orchestral (musical) practice for valid and handicapped children (http://projetae2m.free.fr/). Describing the organization in which these projects for mechanical engineering students are formed, we focus on the design and manufacture process of needed devices for handicapped children for play normal musical instruments. The project is team based and must be carried out by the students taking into account many constrains such as engineering, technical, musical, social, commercial and medical. We review the lessons learned in two years of some different cases and discuss the educational issue of design for special user and immediate use. The purpose of this article is to expand upon the discussion of user-centred design in these student projects. In doing so, we will show how design in health industry is related with user, particularly through the mechanism to understand non-general needs of special user.
