reflections on a work oriented Design Project
Human-Computer Interaction, 1996Co-Authors: Jeanette Blomberg, Lucy Suchman, Randall H TriggAbstract:This article reports our experiences in developing a work-oriented Design practice. We sketch our general approach to relating work practice studies and Design, including our use of case-based prototypes. We go on to describe our entry into the law firm that was the setting for this Project and our decision to focus our Design efforts on two forms of work at the firm. We discuss our experiences in developing a case-based prototype to support the work of document search and retrieval. We then describe our encounters with organizational politics at the firm in the context of a joint exploration of image analysis technologies in relation to the work of litigation support. We conclude with findings on the practices of working with document collections, the value of case-based prototypes, and recommendations for combining work practice studies and Design interventions.

reflections on a work oriented Design Project
Participatory Design Conference, 1994Co-Authors: Jeanette Blomberg, Lucy Suchman, Randall H TriggAbstract:This paper reports our experiences in developing a workoriented Design practice. We sketch our general approach to relating work practice studies and Design, including our use of case-based prototypes to bridge between the worlds of professional Design and the settings in which new technologies will be used. We go on to describe our entry into the work site that was the setting for this Project, our encounters with members of the site and with their work, and the development of our Design agenda. Along the way we discuss the difficulties of maintaining alignment, the limits of research prototypes. and the politics of representing work practices.

development of low cost data acquisition hardware as an undergraduate capstone senior Design Project
Computer Applications in Engineering Education, 2004Co-Authors: Elizabeth A Thompson, Jonathon Acierto, Adrian ChavisAbstract:This paper discusses a capstone senior Design Project involving development of a data acquisition system for gaining understanding of digital signal processing at the level of hardware architecture. The Pentium II PC-based Design includes a microphone with corresponding conditioning circuitry, an analog-to-digital converter, an 8255 peripheral interface adapter, a MATLAB® interface, a digital-to-analog converter, and speakers. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Comput Appl Eng Educ 12: 198–207, 2004; Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com); DOI 10.1002/cae.20016

integration of data acquisition hardware into an undergraduate digital signal processing course via the capstone senior Design Project
Frontiers in Education, 2003Co-Authors: Elizabeth A Thompson, Jonathon Acierto, Adrian ChavisAbstract:This paper discusses a capstone senior Design Project involving development of a data acquisition system for use in an undergraduate digital signal processing (DSP) course. The Project allows undergraduate senior engineering students to merge knowledge of hardware architecture with concepts of Nyquist sampling theorem to explore the relationship between analog and digital signals and develop invaluable insight into the hardware aspects of DSP. The Pentium Il PC-based Design involves a complete data acquisition system, including a microphone with corresponding conditioning circuitry, an analog-to-digital converter, an 8255 peripheral interface adapter, a user-friendly math intensive software interface, a digital-to-analog converter, and speakers.

impediments to user gains experiences from a critical participatory Design Project
Participatory Design Conference, 2012Co-Authors: Claus Bossen, Christian Dindler, Ole Sejer IversenAbstract:Actual studies of user gains from involvement in Design processes are few, although a concern for user gains is a core characteristic of participatory Design (PD). We explore the question of user gains through a retrospective evaluation of a critical PD Project. We conducted ten qualitative interviews with participants in a Project aimed at developing technology to foster engaging museum experiences and rethinking cultural heritage communication. Despite the use of established PD techniques by experienced PD practitioners, a significant number of frustrations relating to the PD process were prominent in the study. Based on these findings, we provide an analysis of impediments to user gains in PD Projects in terms of unresolved differences between aims, absence of a clear set-up for collaboration, and different conceptions of technology.

user gains and pd aims assessment from a participatory Design Project
Participatory Design Conference, 2010Co-Authors: Claus Bossen, Christian Dindler, Ole Sejer IversenAbstract:We present a study of user gains from their participation in a participatory Design (PD) Project at Danish primary schools. We explore user experiences and reported gains from the Project in relation to the multiple aims of PD, based on a series of interviews with pupils, teachers, administrators, and consultants, conducted approximately three years after the end of the Project. In particular, we reflect on how the PD initiatives were sustained after the Project had ended. We propose that not only are ideas and initiatives disseminated directly within the organization, but also through networked relationships among people, stretching across organizations and Project groups. Moreover, we demonstrate how users' gains related to their acting within these networks. These results suggest a heightened focus on the indirect and distributed channels through which the long-term impact of PD emerges.
