Semester Final PLTW

Is the first step in the design process. Includes the problem being identified, validated, and justified. The design requirements are determined and the design brief is created.

• prototype

• Valid

• define the problem

• present solution

• construct/test prototype

This step in Design process includes researching past solutions and brainstorming possible new solutions. Selecting an approach using a Decision Matrix.

• generate concepts
• Justifiable
• Brainstorm
• Iterative
• evaluate solution

This step in Design process includes creating a detailed design solution and detailed technical drawings.

• present solution

• define the problem

• Valid

• Prototype

• develop solution

This step in Design process includes building the a testable prototype. Then testing it for performance/ usability/ durability, collecting the data, analyzing the date and creating a test report of the findings.

• construct/test prototype
• generate concepts
• Justifiable
• Brainstorm
• Iterative

This step in Design process includes evaluating the solution's effectiveness, reflecting on design, making recommendation for improvements of the design, and revising design documents.

• develop solution

• evaluate solution

• define the problem

• Valid

• Prototype

This is the last step in the Design process and is when the project portfolio is shared usually during a formal presentation.

• present solution
• construct/test prototype
• generate concepts
• Justifiable
• Brainstorm

A process that repeats a series of steps over and over until the desired outcome is obtained.

• evaluate solution

• iterative

• develop solution

• define the problem

• Valid

A full- scale working model used to test a design concept

• Prototype
• present solution
• construct/test prototype
• generate concepts
• Justifiable

A group technique for solving problems, generating ideas, stimulating creative thinking, etc. by unrestrained spontaneous participation in discussion

• define the problem

• Iterative

• evaluate solution

• develop solution

• brainstorm

Well- founded on evidence and corresponds accurately to the real world.

• construct/test prototype

• Prototype

• present solution

• valid

• generate concepts
