Improve the design of letterboxes using the SCAMPER technique, Singapore

Assignment Details:

In this assignment you will be using the SCAMPER technique to improve the design of letterboxes.

Part A : (17.5 marks)

Use SCAMPER (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Dz7S4IOT2E) to generate ideas for improving the design of letterboxes. Note you should not restrict yourself to just a couple of ideas for each letter in SCAMPER. How you express your ideas is up to you e.g. you can describe them in words or illustrate them (~50 words for each letter). The main requirement is that it is clear to the marker what the idea is.

Marking guide: 2.5 marks will be awarded per letter in S.C.A.M.P.E.R. Question the markers will have in mind are: Does the idea belong to the letter? Have a wide range of interesting ideas been developed for each letter? Are the ideas novel?

Part B : (2.5 marks)

Based on your ideas from Part A, make a recommendation on what you think is the best idea, and explain why you think so? Expand on the idea. Why weren’t other ideas considered? (~400 words) (2.5 marks)

Note:

1. You are not expected to be an expert in electronics, industrial design or the postal service.

2. You can choose to be absurd or realistic. It is the idea generation that is important
