Grant EDP Review

A set of steps that engineers follow to complete the design of an object or idea is called

• The scientific method

• The engineering design process

It is the first step in the design process. It includes the identification, validation, and justification of the problem. Design requirements are determined and the design summary is created.

• investigate solutions

• generate concepts

• define the problem

• present solution

• build / test prototype

This step in the design process includes investigating past solutions and generating possible new solutions. You come up with many ideas and then choose one.

• generate concepts

• design a solution

• define the problem

• present solution

• evaluate solution

This step in the design process includes the creation of a detailed design solution and detailed technical drawings.

• present solution

• define the problem

• build and test a prototype

• evaluate solutions

• design a solution

This step in the design process includes the construction of a prototype that can be tested. It is then tested for performance / usability / durability, data is collected, data is analyzed, and a test report of the findings is created.

• build and test a prototype

• generate concepts

• present solution

• define the problem

• iterate the solution

This step in the design process includes evaluating the effectiveness of the solution, reflecting on the design, making recommendations for design improvements, and reviewing design documents.

• develop solution

• evaluate solution

• define the problem

• present the solution

• generate concepts

This is the last step in the design process and it is when the project is complete and shared, usually during a formal presentation.

• present solution

• build and test prototype

• generate concepts

• Justifiable

• Brainstorming

After building a paper airplane, you throw it and it crashes immediately. You realize that there is a major flaw in your design. What should be the next step?

• destroy the old plane and start from scratch

• change the design and test it again

• use a different color paper

At what stage of the design process would you come up with ideas about possible solutions or products?

• Evaluate solutions

• Generate concepts

• Present solution

• Define the problem

At what stage of the design process would you build the prototype?

• Build and test the solution

• Present solution

• Define the problem

• Generate concepts
