Abstract

The meeting, held on 17 May 1990, was opened promptly by the Chairman Andrew Nicholson, who welcomed everyone to the Seminar and introduced Tony Harman, who gave a very good review of the present situation of cleaning electronics assemblies before turning to future developments. In his paper ‘An Assessment of CFC Replacements—Proposed UK Collaborative Programme’, Tony developed the ideas which had led the UK Government to support this work. He did, however, point out that the funding was only now becoming available and this had delayed the start of the programme. Nevertheless, the itinerary of the cleaning trials had been decided and the practical work would commence shortly. In general terms, the programme will cost £¾m and will use between 600 and 700 test boards. As this programme is funded by Central Government, the results will be widely disseminated, especially to Small and Medium Enterprises.

Abstract

Although the subject discussed at this meeting is one in which I have a personal and commercial interest, I will try to report the meeting in an unbiased manner. I must, however, point out that I asked only one question at the meeting and that was when one of the speakers compared solder cream to sand. I believe this type of comment shows a complete misunderstanding of the sophisticated material that is today's solder cream and especially of solder cream designed for ‘fine‐pitch soldering’.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to understand children’s sketching behavior while they engage in interest-driven design activities. Particularly, the authors examine their information sharing practices and the learning opportunities that may occur when they engage in a sketching activity.

Design/methodology/approach

The data collection is based on a participatory design approach, cooperative inquiry. For analysis, the authors used the ethnographic case study approach, which allowed us to consider the particularity and complexity of sketching and its affordances within each distinct design activity.

Findings

The authors found children share information about their expectations, experiences, beliefs and knowledge via their sketches. Additionally, through sketching activities, they were engaged in multiple learning opportunities including how to label sketches, build on ideas, sketch in collaboration and innovate on ideas.

Research limitations/implications

The findings demonstrate sketching can be used to gather information about the broader contexts of children’s lives which can be leveraged to identify their needs and improve the design of future technologies for children. Additionally, participating in sketching gives children opportunities to develop their sketching skills, a useful multimodal skillset for both design and personal expression.

Originality/value

This empirical research is original in its context of focusing on children sketching experiences in an interest-driven design environment occurring virtually in the informal setting of a library.
