 Importance & Socio-economic relevance of Design Thinking:
Design thinking is generally defined as an analytic and creative process that
engages a person in opportunities to experiment, create and prototype models,
gather feedback, and redesign.
Several characteristics (e.g., visualization, creativity) that a good design thinker
should possess have been identified from the literature. The primary purpose of this
article is to summarize and synthesize the research on design thinking to (a) better
understand its characteristics and processes, as well as the differences between novice
and expert design thinkers, and (b) apply the findings from the literature regarding the
application of design thinking to our educational system. The authors’ overarching
goal is to identify the features and characteristics of design thinking and discuss its
importance in promoting students’ problem-solving skills in the 21st century.
 Here are a few reasons why team building is important:
1. Facilitates better communication– Activities that create discussion enable open
communication among members. This can improve relationships and in turn, the
quality of work done.
2.Motivates members– Team leadership and team building go hand in hand. The
morecomfortable your members are to express their ideas and opinions, the more
confident they will become. This will motivate them to take on new challenges.
3.Promotes creativity–Taking a team outside and exposing them to new experiences
will force them to think outside of their normal routine. Working together with other
team members can ignite creativity and fresh ideas.
4. Develops problem- solving skills–Team building activities that require members to
work together to solve problems can improve the ability to think rationally and
strategically. Teams that are able to determine when a problem arises and know what
they can do about it, can they effectively take charge when a real crisis occurs.
5. Breaks the barrier–Team building increases the trust factor with your members.

 Our journey in Design Engineering:
 Lab 1:
We discussed the formation of group and finalized it by the end of the day. And
further we started thinking for the design problems going around.
 Lab 2:
We finalised a choice for topic that is to make a code which would make small
industrialist easy to design and manufacture heat exchangers.
 Lab 3:
We discussed about the current situations of the programs related to designing
of heat exchangers and also about the activities of heat exchangers.
 Lab 4:
We started filling and noting the points regarding activities, environment,
interactions, objects and users. So at the end of the lab we completed all the
AEIOU sheets.
 Lab 5:
We got the AEIOU sheets approved by our guide and discussed regarding
empathy mapping and pointed it down.
 Lab 6:
We did the ideation canvas discussion along with the AEIOU summary sheet
and got it approved
 Lab7:
We completed the discussion of production development canvas and mind
mapping and got all the sheet done by these labs. Then we prepared a flow chart
on our topic ‘Floating Bridge’.
 Lab 8:
We started formatting all our done work to report and also worked on it and got
our report ready.
That’s all.

Chapter 2: Empathy Mapping
Our domain is Bridge Construction and we started it all with gathering information on types
of bridge and materials used in construction and method of construction. Referred some case
studies and gathered information about problems faced during the construction. We visited
‘JAHANGIRPURA BRIDGE’, Surat which is constructed over river Tapi, we captured some
pictures of activities going over there, environment.
Our selected user is a Driver.
Our selected stakeholders were Traffic police, sweeper, venders, walking peoples, children,
students.

STORYBOARDING
 Happy Story:
1. Ramanbhai was a taxi driver. He was living in surat city. He used to be always late to
reach his destination due to more traffic, but using bridge time required to reach his
destination reduced very much. He was able to carry more passengers in a day and
earn more money.
2. Ramanbhai was a bank manager at yes bank. He was living in surat city. He used to
face traffic on his daily route and was sometimes late, after he changed the route and
used bridge, he used to reach on time and he don't need to wake up too early.
 Sad Story:
1. Ramanbhai was a taxi driver. He was living in surat city. Once he was carrying
passengers in his taxi, when he reached in the midway of bridge, fuel in his taxi was
over. He and passengers in his taxi stucked in the midway. Passengers scolded him so
much.
2. Ramanbhai was a taxi driver. He was living in surat city. Once he was carrying
passengers in his taxi, when he reached in the midway of bridge, His taxi's tyre burst
due to a nail, unfortunately he has no spare wheel at that time. They were stucked
midway. Passengers scolded him so much.
