Description
Summary:The innovation presented is the Fluctuating Design Process, an educational design methodology, used to develop social design products. This process allows the student-designer undertake a six-stage design process and modify its characteristics to be holistic, customizable, experimental and/or rational in developing a design process for adequate design solutions resulting in a Project activity (end result) with a high value on design output. The process is divided into six stages: Research, Analysis, Ideation, Materialization, Validation and Feedback, the latter instituted throughout the process. A venture practice of the Fluctuating Design Process in academia was performed with five teams composed of design students of the Autonomous University of Nuevo Leon. The design project objective was to develop social innovation through product development for visual impaired users (blindness and visual weakness) that use the options in public transportation in Monterrey, Mexico.
