Student's design solutions

 

Saint Kentigerns College

Designed by Andrew and Harry

John Cocks, engineer comments...Basic principles are good and clear instructions. Some further details about tap and connection of pipe, and more information about construction, would be helpful.

Dr Norris comments...This is an inappropiate message. The kids in PNG will know people who have died. Also the use of a Western style tap doesn't fit. There is no information on when to wash hands.

John Cocks, engineer comments...Good diagram.

Dr Norris comments...This ia an unrealistic message in a place without soap, water & a towel & an unrealistic list of times to wash hands.

Designed by Jordan and Brad

John Cocks, engineer comments...Good concept to minimise water use. Instructions could be more clear about how to get water into the minitank.

Dr Norris comments...Good effort. It is also a good idea to have a catchy slogan but the message is unrealistic.

John Cocks, engineer comments...Excellent diagrams but no written explanation about how the system works.

Dr Norris comments...No idea what this depicts & you assume people know what germs are & having none of them is a good thing.

 

 

Dr Norris comments...Simple but needs to be part of a wider campaign maybe in conjunction with a game & classroom sessions. Are these white people's hands?

Designed by Mike and Cam

John Cocks, engineer comments...Creative diagram. Limited information about how design limits water use.

Designed by Vincent and Lach

John Cocks, engineer comments...Nice diagram with features labelled. No information about how someone would use the system.

John Cocks, engineer comments...Good project plan and a practical solution.  A diagram would assist to show the system and how it operates.
