延伸阅读：与工业设计专业跨界合作前的自动驾驶小车

宁波诺丁汉大学电气工程及其自动化专业的自动驾驶小车项目，想必大家在之前的推文报道中都有所了解了。我们惊讶地发现，今年的小车与往年的不太一样。它们拥有了闪亮、拉风且酷炫的造型。

原来，今年的自动驾驶小车项目和“隔壁的”工业设计专业展开了跨界合作。由电气工程及其自动化专业的同学设计小车的框架建构、电机驱动与控制系统，工业设计的同学也充分发挥他们的想象力，为小车设计一个拉风的外观，并通过3D打印机将其化为现实。

本周，两个专业的合作结晶在学校国际创新创业大楼的中庭进行联合展出。

本次的合作由工业设计专业的设计工作室导师Amarpreet Gill发起，灵感来自于他和车辆设计的深厚渊源。Amarpreet硕士毕业于北欧顶级汽车设计院校瑞典于默奥大学的交通设计专业，并在毕业后，曾职于瑞典的萨博SAAB汽车公司和斯柯达汽车公司，拥有丰富的行业实践经历。

他告诉我们，在行业中，一个产品的设计和生产过程，需要产品设计师和电气/电子工程师的紧密合作。本次的合作项目就完美地体现了这两者之间的关系和互动--电气工程及其自动化专业的大二学生和工业设计专业的大三学生需要互相沟通需求，共同完成设计项目。

“

通过这个合作项目，学生们可以获得有现实意义的学习体验，增进他们对于双方专业领域的了解，提升团队合作技能，了解未来现实工作场景。”Amarpreet介绍道。

团队合作意味着同学们需要相互配合和学习，达到1+1大于2的效果。工业设计专业的马同学就对此深有感触。他的设计灵感来源于一款废土朋克主题的游戏，他的小车以恐龙和骨头为造型。“要在原本小车高宽比的基础上进行设计，真的很不容易。好在，电气工程及其自动化（EEE）的同学们给了我很大的自由度。我在征得他们同意之后，将小车进行了拆装和重组，将小车本体和外壳进行了有机结合。”为此，马同学还向EEE的同学请教了小车每一个部件的作用和装配方式，在这次的合作项目中，他对于电子和电气工程的了解又更上了一层楼。

本次的合作项目是工业设计专业大三学生必修课程《工业设计专业实践》的一部分。该课程旨在帮助学生了解在商业项目中，工业设计师所处的环节和产品的开发流程。

白昱天同学说道，在项目初始阶段，他们就制作了情绪板（设计类视觉参考工具），和EEE专业的组员沟通大致的设计方向和他们偏好的风格。项目中期他们也安排了组会，对于小车的功能和结构进行了进一步的了解。既要确保小车的超声波探测器和摄像头不受遮挡、小车电池仓的正常开关、小车音响的放置，还要保证小车的大轮子可以正常运动，白昱天同学和组员们进行了多轮调试工作。

以复古的迪斯科球为灵感，他们使用老式摩托车头盔造型作为车辆主体，又从第一颗人造卫星“sputnik”提取出“尾迹”的元素，添加了双层尾翼以体现小车的速度感。虽然在最后的拼装测试阶段，他们遇到了一些难题，但是白昱天表示，整个合作过程都很顺利，是一次很愉快的体验！

在本次的合作项目中，22组学生的作品都将通过海报和实物的形式进行展出。展览将持续到5月20日本周五，欢迎校内的老师和同学到访国际创新创业大楼大厅。

This afternoon, the joint showcase between the Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) and the Product Design and Manufacture (PDM) programmes was unveiled in IEB Lobby A, with many uniquely designed robotic cars on display.

This exhibition showcases the collaboration between second year EEE students enrolled in the Applied Electrical and Electronic Engineering: Construction Project module (led by Dr Chunyang Gu and Dr Jing Wang) and third year PDM students enrolled in the Industrial Design and Professional Practice 2 module (led by Amarpreet Gill).

The collaboration was initiated by Amarpreet Gill, the Design Studio Tutor in Product Design and Manufacture, who has a long history with automotive design. He obtained his Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Transportation Design from Umea University, a university known for its highly ranked Institute of Design. He has strong experience working in the industry, particularly in the automotive industry. Upon graduating in 2011, he joined SAAB Cars AB, in Sweden as a Vehicle Interior Designer. After that, he worked for KODA Auto A.S. in the Czech Republic (Czechia) as a concept designer before teaching design at De Montfort University, in the UK.

He told us that in the industry, product designers and electrical/electronic engineers always work closely together. “The aim of this collaboration was to give students a realistic and meaningful learning experience, increase their knowledge and understanding of each other’s discipline, develop their teamwork and soft skills, and prepare students for real-world scenarios.”

In the collaboration, EEE students took the lead on the smart vehicle’s frame building and control, while PDM students focused on the exterior body design and assembly. The collaboration focuses on the novel engineering field, applies multi-disciplinary thinking, integrates scientific theory and industrial technology, cultivates innovation and encourages cross-discipline student interaction.

The Robotic Car project is part of the module EEEE1039 Applied Electrical and Electronic Engineering: Construction Project. It is a full-year compulsory module for all qualifying year EEE students. The module aims at developing core skills needed by modern engineers and providing a guided application of the concepts and theory taught in the first year. The content of this module is very current, and can improve students’ capabilities in solving practical problems, self-learning, team working, technical communication, and more.

For PDM students, the Industrial Design and Professional Practice 2 module shares a similar goal. The module develops students’ understanding of the place of industrial design in the commercial world. Students will learn skills, knowledge and practice that make up aspects of the designer’s role.

Teamwork means cooperating and learning from each other to achieve a better result. Yanbing Ma, a third year PDM student told us that he was grateful for the opportunity, and that it enabled him to deeply understand every component of a smart vehicle.

“Previously the car was disproportionately too high and it became difficult for me to realise my conceptual design for the car. Fortunately, my teammates from EEE were kind enough to allow me to dismantle the car so I could combine the main body and housing more organically.”

Another student, Yutian Bai, also believes that this was a great opportunity for collaboration. In the initial stage when the car was not yet built, she made a mood board to communicate with the team members and outline their 70s retro style concept. As the project progressed, she gained a clearer understanding of the function and structure of the vehicle.

In total there were 22 student groups, consisting of students from second year EEE studies and third year PDM studies. Each group will exhibit two posters designed by both EEE and PDM students, as well as their smart vehicle, complete with a 3D printed body. The exhibition will last until this Friday 20 May. All are welcome to drop by.
