Reflection – Visualization 

 Challenge 

 I am an engineering student currently working on my undergraduate thesis . Our thesis is   required to have a prototype and should not only be done for compliance but also for business   opportunities in the future . The first phase of the thesis is the project proposal where we are to   validate the problem , identify the needs and look for market potential for our project . It is very   challenging for our team because in our university specially in engineering , we are taught most   of the time how to solve problems and not looking for a valid problem . To approve our thesis   proposal , we need to convince the panel of judges that the problem we are solving is valid and   has a market . The real challenge for our team is that we have to explain and demonstrate what   we are proposing in a way that the panel will be convinced that the project is useful and has   market potential . 

 Selection 

 The team decided that the most suited design thinking tool to be used for us to convince the   panel of judges is the visualization tool because our project has technical concepts that are   hard to understand verbally . We have a limited time to do this project so we have to convince   the panel that we can finish the project in time and show them what the final output would   look like so visualization is very important to let the panel understand what we are doing . As   Angela Myer stated in module 1 , “ The more you begin to use pictures and create a visual image   for people of how you are thinking , the more likely you are to achieve a sense of agreement   and consensus with people in an environment where your ability to get things done and to   solve problems is dependent on other people being able to understand you and align their   ideas with yours . ”   To have an agreement and align our ideas with the panel , we had to rely on   the visualization tool . 

 Application 

 On the day of the project proposal , we have presented to the panel a lot of graphical statistics   to let them see the market potential for our project and we also interpreted our surveys using   graphical statistics to validate the problem and convince them that there is a need for our   project . Using pie charts enables us to display the percentage of people that have the same   problem and are willing to use the project we will create . Bar graphs and line graphs enables us   to show how the market for our project increases over time . After we convinced the panel that   there is a need for our project and it has a market potential , we further convince them that we   can finish this project in a limited time using Gantt chart and project milestones . We briefly   discussed the methodology we are to use to achieve our goal using Gantt chart . We also shown 

 to the panel the 3D model of how the project will look like when it is finished by using   AutoCAD . This gives the panel the idea on what to expect to the project and most specially to   validate if we have successfully achieved our goals and objectives for this thesis project . 

 Insight 

 Even though our project proposal was very technical , we are able to convey our ideas and   vision of the project and convinced them that we can achieve it and specially be useful for   other people . The statistical graphs and 3D model of our project really helped a lot in conveying   our ideas to the panel and because of visualization tool , we are able to persuade the panel on   the worthiness of our idea and we are now in the prototyping stage of the project . 

 Approach 

 The use of visualization tool does not end here because our team plan to use this tool to pitch it   to other people specially our potential customers . I think that making the potential customers   or investor understand the worthiness and concept of our project will be much easier by using   the visualization tool of the design thinking process .
