SEJ101 – DESIGN PORTFOLIO
Summative Assessment 1
In 2017 SEJ101 assessment will consist of nine tasks that will develop a portfolio of your assessed work.
Throughout the trimester you will have the opportunity for feedback on all eight tasks before final submission.
Some of the tasks will be quite straight forward others will be more complex. This assessment accounts for
50% of your entire grade for SEJ101, so it is well worth spending time on this task each and every week.
The challenge for you is to design a physical artefact that is related to your discipline. So for civil engineers it
can be a structural item like a concrete slab as part of a building or a road intersection, for mechatronic
students it can be an electro-mechanical device.
The product you design must have a minimum of five components. You will need to research the user of the
product, materials and manufacturing technologies to produce the product and also apply professional
standards such as dimensioning and tolerances.
Portfolio examples will be presented throughout the entire trimester from a variety of sources.
Design Portfolio
Brief description of assessment task This individual assessment task is a design challenge, which requires students to
progressively develop and submit a design portfolio. Students are required to showcase
their design skills and abilities over the entire period of the trimester using the Portfolio
tool in CloudDeakin, in particular their design strategies and approaches in developing a
unique product as a contribution to the outcomes of the proposed project. Each student
must present artefacts that demonstrate their technical and creative skills in design.
Detail of student output This individual assessment task requires students to develop and present a design
portfolio using the Portfolio tool in CloudDeakin. The design portfolio must emphasise
approaches used in designing and developing a unique product and comprise of the
follow items:
• Concept Sketch
• Pin / Mood / Inspiration Board
• Mind Map
• Information Sketch
• Story Board
• 2D Technical Drawings
• 3D CAD Generated Models
• 3D Rendered Images

What early feedback will student get, how and
when?
Students will be given timely feedback for each individual portfolio item either through
the seminar (in class or online), which will contribute to their progress. Feedback will be
given from both academic mentors and peer discussion.
Due date and form of submission Part 1 – by 11.59pm on 31/3/2017 Melbourne Time – Submitted via portfolio tool in
Cloud Deakin (tasks include – Concept sketches – Pin Board – Mind Map – Info Sketch –
Story Board)
Part 2 – by 11.59pm on 2/6/2017 Melbourne Time - Submitted via portfolio tool in Cloud
Deakin (Tasks Include – 2D Technical Drawings – 3D CAD – Rendered Images – InfoGraphic)Portfolio Task 1 – Idea/Concept Sketch
Formative assessment – Week 2 studios
Developed at a personal level to communicate an idea/concept quickly and effectively using simple
shapes and lines. Can also be known as a napkin or back-of-the-envelope sketch. Details are
minimal; the focus is on the image, just simple key words to list major features.
Your portfolio should include:
• 1 – 2 Concept sketches of each part in your design
• 1 -2 sketches of the entire product assembled / layout
• To be scanned and uploaded to the portfolio in JPEG formatPortfolio Task 2 – Pin / Mood / Inspiration Board
Formative assessment – Week 3 studios
Helps expand thoughts during the design process. It is a collection and curation process to organise
and integrate ideas and thought through images. It is a technique used by many professional to
refine thoughts and look at interesting features that other people have developed and be expaned
upon. Applications such as Pinterest are a good digital version of a Pin / Mood / Inspiration Board.
Your board should be a collection of no less than 25 ideas about your individual design; you also
need to write a summary on why these images have influenced your design.Portfolio Task 3 – Mind Map
Formative assessment – Week 3 studios
Helps expand thoughts during the design process. It is a brain storming session on paper that is used
to visually outline information. It is generally created around a single word / concept to which
further words / concepts / implications of your design is added around.
Your portfolio should include:
• Rough (1st Draft) of Mind Map – scanned and uploaded in JPEG format
• Final Version of Mind Map – saved and uploaded in PDF and JPEG formatPortfolio Task 4 – Information Drawings
Formative assessment – Week 3 studios
Combines the idea sketch and the mind map together to have a well-considered concept; using the
information and preliminary research that has been gathered a multi-perspective drawing listing key
features, functions and materials. It effectively communicates features, functions and materials
through annotations and supporting graphics.
Your portfolio should include:
• 1 drawing per part - scanned and uploaded in jpeg format
• 1 drawing of the entire assembly / layout – scanned and uploaded in jpeg format
• Each drawing should have annotations highlighting features, materials and other important
dataPortfolio Task 5 – Story Board
Formative assessment – Week 5 studios
Describes the interaction between your product and the user as well as putting it into a context. It is
a series of small images that can be created via a variety of means (Bitstrips, Xtranormal or hand
drawn). Concepts to be explored are why is there a need for your product? How will your product
be used? What is the implication of your product and how will it benefit the user?
Your portfolio should include:
• Rough (1st draft) of story board with 6-8 cells – scanned and uploaded in jpeg format
• Final version of story board with 6-8 cells – saved and uploaded in PDF and jpeg formatsPortfolio Task 6 – 2D Detailed Engineering Drawings
Formative assessment – Week 6 studios
There are several aspects to this task and needs to be done for your product assembly and each
individual component:
• A Perspective Drawing – a descriptive three-quarter view produced using a perspective
drawing technique (CAD). It is a line drawing without the application of colour or tone.
• General Arrangement Drawing – exterior view of all components using lines only and with
sufficient details. This is usually drawn in third angle projection.
• Detail Drawing – contains details of components for the manufacturing of your product. Can
be known as a technical, production or construction drawing. Things like material
specifications, surface finish, standards and tolerance will be addressed in these drawings.
Your portfolio should include:
• For each part a 3rd angle projection - All drawings will be properly:
o Titled blocked
o Dimensional tolerances
o Material selections
o References where needed
• 2 – 3 drawings that include:
o Assembly views
o Plan views
o Exploded views
• All drawings to be uploaded in pdf and native CAD formatsPortfolio Task 7 – Detailed 3D models for Visualisation and Manufacturing
Formative assessment – Week 7 studios
There are several aspects to this task and needs to be done for your product assembly and each
individual component:
• Technical Illustration – communicates technical detail with a high degree of realism that is
sometimes supported with symbols and includes exploded views.
• Design Development Model – simple mock-ups (virtually) used to explore and visualise the
relationships between components, cavities, interfaces and structures. Things like
component interferences can be analysed in this model.
• Appearance model – accurate virtual representation of product appearance, e.g. colour,
surface finish, material selection.
Your portfolio should include:
• All native CAD files used to create your product
• A pdf upload of each part and assembly filePortfolio Task 8 – Rendered 2D / 3D CAD models
Formative assessment – Week 8 Studios
Contains a high level of visual realism to fully define the product appearance as a perspective of
view. Concepts like augmented reality and superposition can be explored; this task is especially
useful for decision makers who are not designers / engineers in exploring products and concepts.
Your portfolio should include:
• A minimum of 3 views of assembly or plan of your design with colour and texture added to
highlight the features / aspects / context of your design
• To be uploaded in jpeg formatPortfolio Task 9 – Info graphic
Formative assessment – Week 9 Studios
With basic research that was done in Task 2 combined with images produced in Task 7 an
information graphic (info-graphic) is to be developed. The main purpose of the info-graphic is a
visual representation of information or data in an easy to digest format for the non-designer or lay
person. It generates context and situational awareness of the product. “A good info-graphic is
worth a thousand words”
Your portfolio should include:
• Rough (1st draft) version of your infographic – scanned and uploaded in jpeg format
• Final version of your infographic – saved and uploaded in pdf and jpeg formatAssessment 1 Rubric
