Vibrations may also be used to teach cause and effect relationships. Additionally, should a student become upset, the vibrations can be used to soothe the student. In the solution of any problem, especially design problems, an organized approach is extremely beneficial. A structured approach to design assists engineers in creating safe, useful products by reducing oversight, creating extensive documentation of the process, and ensuring the voice of the customer is heard throughout the design. Prototypes are the first opportunity for the design team to present the design to the customer for evaluation.
Customer feedback provides insight into problems or overlooked design issues.
These problem areas and oversights can be redesigned and implemented before the product goes to final production. The vibration unit creates the actual motion resulting in the vibrational stimulus. The holder allows stimulus transmission to the student. The control box provides a means of controlling vibration intensity. The power system supplies the needed energy to the vibration unit.
