METHOD OF ASSESSMENT

In addition to successful completion of the following exercises, a short written specification on the responsive structure/system will be required. Students will work in teams of TWO.

FOUR PROBLEM EXERCISES

(15%) Exercise 1 Physical modelling of kinetic object focusing on mechanics

(15%) Exercise 2 Physical modelling of application design

(20%) Exercise 3 Physical model augmented with BASIC Stamp servo control (engineering)

(50%) Exercise 4 Physical model of Interactive Kinetic System demonstrating responsive behaviour
