Engineering Design Process

Rersearch possible solutions to see if the problem has been solved or not

• Define the problem

• Test and Evaluate

• Research and Generate Ideas

• Make a Prototype

Test the prototype and anlyze the outcome of the test

• Test and Evaluate

• Make a Prototype

• Define the Problem

• Communicate your Results

Come up with outside the box approaches to solving the problem. Create a mind map or possible sketches.

• Define the Problem

• Develop a Design

• Brainstorm Ideas

• Test and Evaluate

Create a report to communicate your results to your customers and other engineers.

• Communicate Your Results

• Redesign as Required

• Develop a Design

• Make a Prototype

Determine the need to be met or the problem to be solved.

• Re-Design

• Research and Generate Ideas

• Create a Protype

• Define the Problem

If required, re-engineer the solution to be more effective.

• Creatre a Prototype

• Brainstorm

• Define the Problem

• Re-Design

Rate Different ideas using a decision matrix to score your possible solutions.

• Explore Possibilities

• Research and Evaluate Ideas

• Develop a Design

• Define the Problem

Create multiview sketches and plans of your possible solution.

• Create a Prototype

• Re-Design

• Develop a Design

• Test and Evaluate

Make a full scale version of your solution

• Make a Prototype

• Develop a Design

• Test and Evaluate

• Create or Make the Final Design

Using the decision matrix the engineer selects the highest rated solution or design.

• Define the Problem
