Design - What do you know?

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

Criteria

• Are limitations. framed as part of the problem; thing like money, time, size.

• Are the goals or outcomes for a successful solution. Criteria should be determined before developing possible solutions.

• A systematic problem-solving strategy that designers follow to come up with a solution to a problem.

When you build your prototype it is really important to do this...

• Rebuild it

• Test it many times

• Present it

Presenting your solution is like:

• Looking for flaws

• Pitching your sales idea

• Brainstorming

What is the First Step of the Engineering Design Process

• Build and Test

• Designing Solutions

• Define the Problem

• Present Solutions

What order do the steps of the Design Process go in?

• Define the Problem, Brainstorm Solution, Choose the best Solution, Build the Prototype, Test It, Present Solution/Redesign

• Brainstorm Solution, Build the Prototype, Define the Problem, Test It, Present Solution/Redesign, Choose the Best Solution

• Define the Problem, Choose the Best Solution, Test it, Brainstorm Solution, Build the Prototype, Present Solution/Redesign

Asking things like "What is the issue we need to solve?", or "What are my criteria/constraints?"...would be which step?

• Design a solution

• Generate Concepts

• Define Problem

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
