IED design process midterm review

The design process is....

• a systematic way to rule out group ideas

• a ranking system where a score is given for categories

• a systematic method used by engineers to solve problems

Which step of the design process includes "Brainstorming"?

• Define problem

• Generate concepts

• Build a prototype

Using one of these will help your group decide on which model to build:

• Design Brief

• Design Evaluator

• Decision Matrix

We usually draw a rough sketch during this step:

• Generate Concepts

• Build/Test Prototype

• Evaluate Solution

If I find flaws in my solution I should....

• Create a technical drawing instead

• Be formal and perfect

• go back and make modifications before moving forward

What do we call limitations like "time, cost and/or materials" within a challenge?

• Complications

• Constraints

• Criteria

Adding a detailed drawing of the group's idea is completed at this step of the design process.

• Define the problem

• Design a solution

• Evaluate solution

Often times creating a Design Brief takes place during this step:

• Design solution

• Build/Test prototype

• Define Problem

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
