DESIGN for AMERICA
YALEDFA
1
WHAT IS DFA?
WHAT IS DFA YALE?
Design for America, founded in 2009, is a network of student-led studios creating local and social impact through interdisciplinary design. DFA student teams work on self-selected design projects throughout the academic year applying the skills and expertise gained through their for-credit academic courses. They look to their local community to assess pressing challenges and work in teams with organizational partners to understand user’s needs, ideate, prototype and test potential solutions. Through introducing and propagating the idea and process of design, DFA hopes to facilitate the creation of a world where people believe in their ability to design innovative solutions to today’s challenges. Currently, DFA also acts as a pipeline of innovators, change makers, and social entrepreneurs. Our teams, members, and their projects have been featured in magazines such as Inc Magazine, Forbes, The Chicago Tribune, Harvard Business Review, and more. Some of the projects become start-up companies, such as SwipeSense and Jerry the Bear, which have raised more than $1.5 million in capital so far.
The DFA Yale chapter was founded during the spring semester of 2012. Composed of students of a wide variety of majors, DFA Yale seeks to bridge the gap between the different parts of Yale’s student body by encouraging teams composed of undergraduate and graduate students with different skill sets. It aims to foster a culture of design by introducing students to the concept and process of human centered-design as a way of tackling societal problems and as a way of manifesting innovative change in the New Haven-Yale community. DFA Yale’s first project focused on reducing heat-waste in student dorms. Most students did not understand how to use the unlabeled knob on their heaters to adjust heating, and in-stead would open windows when the temperature was too high. DFA Yale created a label that explained that the heaters worked by powering steam and a label that indicated how much steam was being powered based on where the knob was twisted to. Our project team also created a temperature probe that allowed users to set a certain temperature. This probe was connected to a gear, which would turn the knob to adjust the temperature as needed.

LEADERSHIP
Faculty Advisor: Joseph Zinter, Ph.D.As our faculty advisor, Professor Zinter advises us with the design process and assists in con-tacting speakers and securing resources for our project teams.
Studio Leaders 2013: Amy ‘16, Paul ‘16, Benjamin ‘16 2012: Levi ‘14, Ellen ‘13Studio leaders serve as the liaisons between DFA Headquarters and DFA Yale. They communicate with team leaders to help with project planning and assign responsibilities to DFA Yale members to ensure that tasks are completed. Through working with the rest of the leadership board, studio leaders shape the long term goals of DFA Yale in order to promote the success of project teams.
Secretary: Jared ‘16The secretary is essential to the day to day running of DFA Yale. S/he takes notes at each meeting, creates task lists from the meetings, and makes sure that all the tasks that need to be accomplished have people working on them. As a new initiative, the secretary is also in charge of organizing and updating the DFA archive on Google Drive.
Treasurer: Cynthia ‘14, Kevin ‘16The treasurers are responsible for fundraising and applying to Yale funding sources as well as for managing the DFA Yale bank account and reimbursements. One treasurer is responsible mostly for the former, while the other is responsible for the latter. Both work with the rest of the leadership board in order to determine what to purchase with DFA funds.
Community Coordinator: Aaron ‘16The community coordinator compiles and maintains the DFA Yale database of existing community partners, faculty connections, student groups, and mentors. S/he is also in charge of maintaining relationships with existing contacts and reaching out to make new connections in the community to help individual teams and DFA Yale overall.
Events Coordinator: Lucia ‘16The events planner is in charge of planning social events, speaker talks, workshops, and other special activities hosted by DFA Yale. S/he works with the studio leaders to determine the schedule of events for each semester and delegates tasks such as obtaining food, finding venues, and other logistics. Once events have been planned, the events planner is also responsible for publicizing them.

PROJECTSDFA Yale is currently working on six projects with the possibility of adding an additional project.Biking: How can we make bikers safer in New Haven? How can we reduce bike thefts? How can we improve biker safety when crossing roads? Currently, the Biking team is working on designing a better bike rack that is both attractive and easier to use than existing racks. By doing so, they hope to encourage more people to use bicycles in their day-to-day life
Waste Reclamation: How can we harness energy from waste materials? What can we use this energy for? The Waste Reclamation team is focusing on recycling used batteries. There are no well-known spaces at Yale where students can go to recycle their batteries. The Waste Reclamation team plans to design something similar to a recycling system for cans and bottles, except for batteries, that is easy and fun to use as well as widely available.
Community: How can we build community pride in Yale and New Haven in general? How can we make New Haven a desirable place to live and stay? The Community team is currently designing a platform for people to share stories about landmarks and experiences in New Haven, in an effort to connect people to the places where they live and encourage community participation.
BluSense: How can we decrease the carbon footprint of buildings here in New Haven/Yale? How can we reduce students’ water usage? How can we reduce students’ shower times? BluSense has applied for the Dell Social Innovation Challenge (http://www.dellchallenge.org/projects/blusense). The team has been collecting data by sending out a survey to Yale and DFA students nationwide, and will begin prototyping and user-testing several different products that aim to increase users’ awareness of their shower time and what that time means in terms of energy.
Ergonomics: How can we improve students’ posture? How can we reduce carpal tunnel syndrome? The Ergonomics team will begin testing whether or not students actually use lap desks when they are provided. They have applied to the Yale College Council 10K Challenge to introduce lap desks to the Bass Library checkout system to encourage students to use lap desks.
Food Waste: How can we reduce food waste? What can we use wasted food for, other than compost? Over the course of the fall semester, the Food Waste team did a lot of research on how much food students waste. Now, team members will begin working on how to reduce this amount by making students aware of how much food they waste and improving the dining hall feedback system.

IDEATION PROCESSThere are three major parts of the DFA design process: understand, create, and implement.
Understand: What is the challenge you are trying to solve? The Understand phase involved identifying a challenge in your community you are passionate about solving, immersing yourself in the context where people confront the challenge, and reframing how you perceive your challenge to determine where design could make a difference. The more you understand your community, the better the solutions your team is likely to develop and improve the world around you.
Create: What are the possible solutions that fulfill the need? The Create phase is where you make and test your ideas with community members, mentors, and professional experts. It involves ideating solutions, building prototypes, and testing these prototypes to see what works. You build and test different parts of the solution, tossing out the parts that don’t work and keeping the parts that do. Through this iterative process, you can develop the best possible solution for your community?
Implement: How will you get your solution into the world? The Implementation phase is about making sustainable impact with your solution. This stage involves pitching your solutions to secure needed resources, piloting your solution with the community, and creating an impact by getting your solution into the hands of people who will use your design.
5
EVENTSIn addition to encouraging human centered-design projects and providing a forum for the development and review of those projects, DFA Yale will contribute to the Yale community through a series of design lectures and through design workshops.
DFA Yale plans to invite professionals and academics to give lectures on what design is, inspirational examples of design, why design is important, etc. These lectures will be open to the general public and will be advertised beforehand.
DFA Yale will also hold several design workshops that will be open to the entire Yale community. At these workshops, attendees will be split into teams and given a problem statement. They will spend time brainstorming in response to the problem statement before discussing the ideas and reactions that they had. From here, teams will further brainstorm before coming up with a possible design-oriented solution, which they will then present to all attendees.
Beyond simply introducing design to the Yale community, DFA Yale also hopes apply for the CEID Summer Fellowships in order to further foster design. Project teams will apply for this summer fellowship, and the winning team will stay on campus and be provided with a small stipend in order to continue with its work. This allows for the continuation of the design process beyond the academic year, which will emphasize how design can be incorporated into everyday life, and encourages more innovation and friendly competition.

TOTAL BUDGET: $BUDGET BREAKDOWNWorkshops- per workshop x 3 workshops We plan on leading 2-3 workshops a year for our members to share research, brainstorm solutions, and receive feedback from their work. Workshops serve as a great way to recruit members and serve as an introduction to design. The events also help spark new ideas- many of our current projects have come out of previous workshops.
Website Support Maintaining a good website is an integral part of attracting sponsor and community partners. We currently own dfayale.com and would like to purchase a premium Wordpress account, to allow for more flexibility in designing our website.
Team Support- per team x 6 teamsThere are currently 6 teams in DFA Yale with needs as diverse at their topics. However, many of our teams are pursuing technical solutions to their problems, and are planning on using some of the same equipment. For those teams that are developing non-technical solutions, either educational or community based, they will need materials and supplies for implementing their ideas.

Workshops 19%
Website 3%
Team Support 47%

DFA Yale Budget, Spring 2013
7
Implementing projects on a larger scale will require more resources and support than our budget allows for, so each team will be responsible for finding grants and community sponsors. We aim to supply each team with the supplies needed to do research, prototype their ideas, and test out their solutions for feedback.
Books/Educational Materials We plan to purchase a books that teach practical skills needed by our teams. We would like to build up the skill base of our members in areas not covered by their classes. Our more experienced members will help teach mini-classes that will be reinforced with our library. These books will be housed in the CEID so that they are available to the general Yale population as well as DFA Yale members.
Travel- We are required to pay for the travel expenses of DFA mentors who come from the national organization to help our studio. During the summer, the national organization of Design for America will also hold a leadership studio at Northwestern. It serves as a way to learn about DFA as an organization, meet other studios, gain insight into leading a studio, and shape the direction of DFA Yale when our new leaders return to campus.
Discretionary funding - Since DFA at Yale is a new organization, there will likely be unforeseen events and purchases throughout the semester.

Yale School of Engineering Drop Team Project Grant Proposal
Curvature Effects of Spacecraft Propellant Management Screens March 2013
2
Abstract:
For the past two years, members of the Yale Drop Team have been working closely with
Lockheed Martin engineer, Christine Edwards, to design and build an experiment to test
the bubble point of different curvatures of propellant management screens. The
advancement of propellant management technology would allow for reduction of
propellant slosh and better gas-‐free propellant delivery to rocket engines. This fall we were
accepted by NASA into the Systems Engineering Educational Discovery (SEED), a part of
the Reduced Gravity Education Flight Opportunities Program, to test our apparatus on a
zero gravity parabolic flight aircraft next July. Christine Edwards and the Yale students are
organizing for our team to attend two or three conferences in the fall of 2013 in order to
present and publish our findings.
All spacecraft, whether they are in orbit around Earth or visiting distant locations, have
the requirement to understand and mitigate propellant slosh as well as deliver gas free
propellant to the systems engines – the JUNO and Multi Purpose Crew Vehicle are no
exception. The engineering solution to both of these problems is the application of a
surface tension based propellant management device (PMD). Propellant management
devices range in complexity and are unique to every propulsion system. However, a large
subset of PMDs use surface tension screens to directly control the location of gas and
indirectly control the location of the liquid. An example PMD is shown in Figure 1:
Figure 1: Propellant Management Device design. The spherical chamber holds the propellant for spacecraft and the gallery arms extract the propellant – that sticks to the walls naturally – for pumping into the engine. The surface tension screens along the gallery arms help prevent gas from entering the engine and help reduce propellant slosh.
3
The limiting capability of any surface tension screen is defined by its “bubble point.”
Inside Propellant Management Devices, wet surface tension screens allow liquid to pass
through but stop gas from passing through. The ‘Bubble Point’ is the pressure difference
between the two sides of the wet screen that causes the gas pressure to be high enough
to break the surface tension and bubble through. It is known by the propellant
management community that curving a surface tension screen alters its bubble point in
the direction of degradation for a concave screen and goodness for a convex screen.
However, the effect of curvature is not easily quantified and the problem is typically
overcome by overdesigning the system to ensure its proper function. This overdesign
can cost the system in terms of weight, money, and general uncertainty.
In this project we will attempt to quantify the effects of curvature on the bubble point of
several typical types of surface tension screens. Since the surfaces will be curved, a zero
gravity environment is required to ensure that the pressure across the screens is
uniform. The presence of gravity makes it very challenging to get an accurate
quantification of this small effect. We have designed test cells that are capable of testing
various screen types for various radii of curvature in a zero gravity environment.
Prototypes of these cells can be seen below in Figure 2.
4
Figure 2: Prototype Cells. Surface tension screens in middle, from left to right: flat, two-‐inch radii, one-‐inch radii. The top chamber will be filled with isopropyl as propellant simulant and the bottom chamber will be pressurized with air to simulate pressurents used in PMDs.
The results will show how sensitive the bubble point is to screen curvature and if screen
type also plays a role. The team will get to witness fluid behavior in zero gravity and will
also be faced with unique challenges. Students will be working closely with the project
principal investigator as well as industry experts from Lockheed Martin on the topic.
Ultimately the results of this project will help to close the gap in understanding about this
important on-‐orbit effect.
Last year, the Yale Drop Team group working on this project, led by recent alumnus, Joe
O’Rourke, designed a fully functional prototype of the experiment but did not fly it. This
year, we have the opportunity to dramatically improve the package and we are taking the
approach of building a second version from the ground up to make the upgrades seamless.
Our first significant improvement is to fully automate the experiment including the
pumping system. Our second significant change is to redesign the testing chamber so that
the radii of curvature of the screens can change in-‐flight as opposed to only between flights.
This will allow for much more data than the prototype could have collected, giving weight
to our findings.
