MID Program at University of the Arts
Supported by full fellowships and tutorial funds, new computing and
human factors laboratories, this innovative two year program of
study and research leading to an accredited Master of Industrial
Design Degree is focussed on the development of knowledge,
computational tools and individual expertise of importance to the
future of design management, education and research. The program is
organized and functions somewhat like a product development team
with each member selected for the different interests and skills they
can bring to the team. Candidates are admitted only if a program can
be tailored to their career interests while also contributing to the
goals and composition of the team. To assure that the program is both
balanced and comprehensive each class includes individuals with
career interests in design management, design information, design
methods, design presentation, design simulation, design assessment,
and systems development. These dimensions are reflected in the focus
of each fellowship, the way the computer support system is being
developed, the system icons, and even the way this newsletter is
organized. Work is equally divided between study and funded research
in order to foster interchange between theoretical and practical
learning. Instruction in the program is tutorial -- each student is
instructed according to their individual program and needs and each is
provided tutorial funding to obtain expert help, to attend conferences
and workshops, to make study visitations, and to purchase books.
Computing tutorials are also individualized around the software and
systems most relevant to the students needs, background, and pace. A
graduate seminar is used to discuss topics of common concern, to
hear from visiting experts and to share individual expertise. This is
complemented by staff meetings and cooperative research activity.

Transportation Program developed at UA
The five year, $2,000,000 ADID/A Project, administered by the
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) under
the IVHS Program of the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA), will develop and demonstrate an integrated computer-
based system to support the design of advanced automobile
interfaces and the assessment of human responses to
simulations of them in a virtual environment. The project will
also demonstrate how research and technical data can be made
more useful to designers as they configure the appearance and
function of driving interfaces, and develop a means to assess
complex attentional demands while driving to indicate how
different designs and display priorities might enhance safety.
The design/assessment system will be capable of supporting
design management, information, decision making, modeling,
simulation, assessment and reporting while designing in a
virtual reality system or at conventional workstations. It will
also be possible to monitor design activity and the use of a
design by mapping data from tracking sensors on human
subjects to an anthropometrically correct human figure model,
enabling study of both activities through observation or
manipulation of the computer model.
The initial demonstration of the system will focus on a
particular section of route I-95 as it approaches the
Philadelphia Airport, a changing message sign (CMS) installed
there, heads-up display (HUD) equipment in the automobile, and
an unexpected object in the road. These subjects have been
chosen for the range of research, modeling, and design options
they afford. Driving tasks will be modeled by programming
hypothetical behaviors for the human figure model as well as
through the tracking sensors on human subjects interacting
with the simulation. The simulation system will use a custom,
high resolution head mounted display (HMD) with stereo vision,
eye tracking and a wide field of view, to provide total
immersion for a person seated in a standard automobile seat
and operating a standard steering wheel, accelerator, and
brake pedal instrumented to yield real time data.

*Design for Integrity* edited by Charles L. Owen
Published by the Institute of Design Communication
Centre, Chicago. 128 pages. $25.00
Global economies have brought new awareness of the advantages of good
design. Quality, once limited to craftsmanship in manufacturing, is
now required in design details, design concept and - for real success
overall product integrity.
This book introduces the process of structured planning as it can be
applied to the tasks of advanced design planning teams. Five projects
are presented (framed individually for Hewlett Packard; Sony; Siemans;
Xerox and Apple). These are specific demonstrations of how structured
planning contributes to new concept development for industry.
