Engineering Design Process

The Engineering Design Process is a series of steps that engineers follow to solve problems and create solutions.

The first step is ASK, where you identify the problem you want to solve.

In the IMAGINE step, you brainstorm ideas and conduct research about your design.

The PLAN step involves creating a detailed outline of how you will build your prototype.

During the CREATE step, you follow your plan to build your prototype.

The final step is TEST, where you evaluate your prototype to see if it works as intended.

You ask, 'What is the problem you are trying to solve?'

Brainstorming helps generate a variety of ideas and solutions to the problem.

A prototype is a working model of your design that you can test and improve.

You know your design is successful if it meets the requirements and solves the problem.
