Engineering Design Process

What is the first step of the design process?

• Research the problem

• Create a hypothesis

• Identify the problem

• Brainstorm solutions

A limitation or restriction is a

• invention

• Criteria

• Innovation

• Constraint

What is the final step in the design process?

• Present the design solution

• Build a prototype

• Identify the problem

• Select an approach

Creating a final technical drawing using everyones ideas would be done during which step in the design process?

• Generate concepts

• Build and test

• Share or present

• Develop a solution

What is the purpose of building a prototype?

• To determine the design constraints for the product

• To make sure that the product is doesn't catch on fire

• To test the product and make sure that it is the best solution to the problem

A design team built a prototype robot that is a vacuum cleaner. Their goal is for the robot to be able to vacuum people’s homes on its own with no human supervision. How will the team know if the robot prototype works after it is completed?

• Place it in someone’s home, and see if it can vacuum the carpets on its own.

• Place it in a grassy field, and observe to see if it can vacuum up dirt and sand.

• They should go ahead and build a prototype of this design.

The design process often begins with

• making a prototype

• testing a prototype

• communicating results

• Identifying a problem

The example or model for your design:

• prototype

• solution

• criteria

• constraint

Brainstroming

• is the method by which a person or group of people can come up with an alternative solutions
• The method does not solve problems
• The method that restricts design

Here you need to identify where in the design process the scenario is taking place.
Jared creates an idea of how to make a softer pillow. So, he builds a small model to test his idea.

• Do Research
• Build a Prototype
• Communicate Results
• Evaluate and Redesign
