The Need

Engineering education often faces constraints, much like real-world projects. Limited time, whether due to packed schedules or resource limitations, can impact the effectiveness of learning. This Microlesson addresses the fundamentals of model-based systems engineering with efficiency in mind, providing targeted insights for busy engineering students.

The Process

I consulted the subject matter expert (SME), a professor at the college of engineering at New Mexico State University, to develop the action map. As this micro-course offers a condensed, asynchronous alternative to the regular session class, the SME and I worked together to create focused and achievable learning objectives.

Action Map & Interactive Prototype

Just like for all of my other projects, I created a storyboard that incorporates these key actions into a cohesive review. This was followed by an interactive prototype that delineated basic design decisions.

I developed an interactive prototype to collect feedback on the functionality of the project before developing the project in full. The prototype included the title page, introduction, objectives video, interactive infographic, and part of a test your knowledge section.

Full Development

I started to develop the project to its full iteration after collecting feedback on the action map and the interactive prototype from the SME. The project consists of more than 60 animated scenes designed with a combination of photo/video editors and artificial intelligence. These elements were then used to create the modules in Articulate Storyline.
