Total questions: 8
Worksheet time: 6mins
What is a Proof Of Concept Prototype?
a physical prototype of something that was previously only a proposed idea for a plan.
a functional prototype directly from the idea
a prototype that is created in order to demonstrate the feasibility of an idea - whether it can be created and if it works to solve the problem.
A prototype that has been proved to solve the problem
Why Use A Proof Of Concept As Your First Prototype?
To see if it looks attractive
It enables you to demonstrate that your design can be successfully carried out.
You use it to test out components and code to ensure it works
It is best that first prototype is created and tested before continuing on to create a more complex model.
In the Engineering Design Process, what happens during the IDEATION PHASE?
Students talk about their idols
Students do research on problem to find an idea on how to solve the problem
Students begin research, make sketches of their prototype, and begin creating representative flowcharts and pseudocode.
Students are introduced to the project (Request for Proposal, problem page, etc.)
What do students do during the PRELIMINARY DESIGN REVIEW (CHECKPOINT 1)?
Student teams present their plans and explain their preliminary research, their prototype sketches, and their flowchart/pseudocode
Students are reviewing the checkpoint
Students are peer-assessing final products
Students are designing a preliminary product
What happens during the DEVELOPMENT PHASE?
Students develop research skills
Students use their plans from the Ideation phase to create a Proof of Concept prototype
Students test out the functionality of the sensors and code that will be used in a later, more complex design
Students develop senses to improve research skills
What happens during the PROOF OF CONCEPT PROTOTYPE REVIEW (CHECKPOINT 2)?
Groups demonstrate that their Proof Of Concept prototype is feasible.
Students demonstrate individually their product
Students demonstrate how they formed the idea for the prototype
Students are checking the review checkpoint
What is the FUNCTIONAL PROTOTYPE PHASE WITH PROPOSAL DEMONSTRATION (CHECKPOINT 3)
Students build a functional (working) prototype that will be representative of the final product.
Students explain the problem as understood through their research
Students demonstrate with their final presentation that the prototype works as intended to solve the problem.
students start to do research on the problem
It is very important to have this first prototype created and _______ before continuing on to create a more complex model. This will save time and effort in the engineering process.
