EES Final Review - Design Process

Front

During this step of the Design Process, team members take time to document whether they think this solution will work? Options: Step 5: Evaluate Solution, Step 2: Generate Concepts, Step 6: Present Solution, Step 4: Build and Test Solution

Back

Step 5: Evaluate Solution

Front

During this step of the Design Process, each team member creates several different options of how this problem can be solved.

Back

Step 2: Generate Concepts

Front

During this step of the Design Process, engineers draw a detailed and labeled sketch of an idea for what might be created to solve the problem.

Back

Step 3: Develop/Design a Solution

Front

A full-scale working model used to test a design concept by making actual observations and necessary adjustments.

Back

Prototype

Front

A systematic problem-solving strategy, with criteria and constraints, used to develop many possible solutions to a problem or to satisfy human needs and wants and winnow (narrow) down the possible solutions to one final choice.

Back

Design Process

Front

During this step of the Design Process, engineers build a working prototype and test how it works.

Back

Step 4: Build and Test Solution

Front

A method of shared problem solving in which all members of a group spontaneously, and in an unrestrained discussion, generate ideas.

Back

Brainstorming

Front

A tool for systematically ranking alternatives according to a set of criteria.

Back

Decision Matrix

Front

Desired specifications (elements or features) of a product or system.

Back

Criteria

Front

A limit to the design process. These may be such things as appearance, funding, space, materials, and human capabilities.
