How might we design multi-functional micro-mobility facilities that benefit the community as a whole?
Term: Fall 2020
Department: School of Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM)
Course: APSC 140 (Engineering Design)
Instructor: Banda Logawa
Staff contact: Christopher French & Natalie Corbo (City of North Vancouver)
Students will develop and prototype innovative design solutions to help make micro-mobility facilities (e.g. ebike stations) more useful and beneficial to diverse members of the community, including people who might not use such micro-mobility devices. Each group will focus on a hypothetical location in the City of North Vancouver and propose technical design solutions that reflect the needs of stakeholders of that neighbourhood (e.g. residential versus commercial).
