PLTW Design Process

Front

What is the definition of a constraint?

Back

a limitation or restriction

Front

If your prototype does not turn out as planned, you can always

Back

Redesign your prototype

Front

After building your prototype, in order to assess the success of the prototype, you will need to

Back

Test and evaluate

Front

Right before you Construct your Prototype, you will need to: Brainstorm, develop possible solutions, Communicate the solution, Select the best solution, Test and Evaluate

Back

Select the best solution

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. Options: Step 5: Evaluate Solution, Step 6: Present Solution, Step 2: Generate Concepts, Step 1: Define a Problem

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 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

During this step of the Design Process, engineers gather all project documentation and share it with the customer.

Back

Step 6: Present Solution
