We still interact with the items we use every day without thinking much about their impact on us. <a href=\"https:\/\/advdes.org\/hector-silva\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hector Silva<\/a> is a design educator who firmly believes in the importance of appreciating daily design opportunities\u2014especially during this time when we are all at home and remote learning is in full effect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While working with students at <a href=\"https:\/\/artdept.nd.edu\/undergraduate-program\/design\/industrial-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Notre Dame<\/a>, Silva created a brief that challenged his class to re-design some of the most mundane tasks at home, including how to add salt and pepper to your meal before consuming it. &#8220;We have been exposed to the default design of the institutionalized glass and metal cap salt and pepper shaker in western culture, or even the classic salt and pepper packets from McDonald\u2019s,\u201d Silva says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14315 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sp4.jpeg\" alt=\"hector-silva-remote-learning-salt-pepper-shaker\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sp4.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sp4-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sp4-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It may seem redundant or strange to reconsider an everyday action, but these exercises are vital for identifying less than perfect designs or experiences that may have been ignored in the past because we\u2019ve gotten comfortable in the way we\u2019ve always done them. &#8220;With every project I do with my students, I do my best to replicate industry projects and processes,\u201d Silva explains. \u201cThis includes every aspect of the product development process: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/using-the-best-practices-in-cad-data-management\/\">CAD<\/a>, sketching, prototyping, development, manufacturing, and presentation.\u201d Without learning all of these processes in their totality, we cannot foster future generations of successful designers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14317\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14317\" class=\"wp-image-14317 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sp-3-1024x731.jpg\" alt=\"hector-silva-remote-learning-salt-pepper-prototype\" width=\"1024\" height=\"731\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sp-3-1024x731.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sp-3-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sp-3-768x548.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sp-3-1536x1096.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sp-3-2048x1462.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14317\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">s+p prototype.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Silva rightfully points out, if you don\u2019t travel and experience how people live in other countries, you would never be exposed to the ways design adapts to fit different cultural needs. To that point, Silva\u2019s salt and pepper assignment focused on global design rather than local. &#8220;The students looked at different salt and pepper experiences around the world. We let the data and research drive the concept development.\u201d It seems kind of obvious when you say it out loud, but salt and pepper are used differently around the world based on dietary habits and food culture in general. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final result (designed by the whole class) is s+p, a single product that features a pepper grinder at the bottom and a salt shaker at the top.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remote learning poses a slew of challenges for design educators like Silva who are used to teaching physical industry skills in person. To ease some of these pain points, Silva used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/overview\">Fusion 360<\/a>\u2019s cloud platform to observe project statuses and give feedback remotely. Students were able to easily share their work with Hector without ever having to meet him face to face.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14318 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sp3.jpeg\" alt=\"hector-silva-remote-learning-salt-pepper-shaker-2\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sp3.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sp3-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/sp3-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cUsing Fusion 360 to immediately implement my students\u2019 concepts, and sending them to 3D print was the ideal path, especially during remote learning,\u201d Silva says. Fusion 360 helped Silva enable a rapid turnaround for the project, and as anyone knows, ideating quickly helps you fail fast, and more importantly, succeed fast too. &#8220;Fusion 360 is like a pickup and go type of software,&#8221; he continues. &#8220;It has a very minimal learning curve, especially for students that had zero CAD experience. Because of all of these benefits, it was no brainer to use Fusion 360 over any other software.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a design educator looking for a more seamless solution for remote learning\u2014or just someone looking to ease workflow between colleagues\u2014try out Fusion 360&#8217;s cloud platform today.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/free-trial\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13104 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Download.png\" alt=\"download-fusion-360\" width=\"280\" height=\"43\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A look at one of Silva\u2019s assignments where prompted students to re-design the experience of using salt and pepper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3128,"featured_media":14314,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[165],"tags":[201,212],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-14312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industrial-design","tag-education","tag-industrial-design","dhig-theme--light"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
