Usually caused by brain injury or brain malformation that occurs before, during, or immediately after birth when an infant’s brain is still developing.

can be visual, physical, mathematical, or computational and are often used in the development of scientific theories or the engineering of artifacts.

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

What do you call the Engineering Design Process step that define a problem or opportunity?

Designers research past solutions, brainstorm new ideas, then compare solutions and narrow to one solution and record all brainstorm ideas in an engineering notebook.

The designers create a detailed design using technical drawings and models. The drawings and models provide the technical information necessary to produce a solution.

This step is where the designers build and test their solution. Designers test its performance, usability, and durability, and collect and analyze the test data.

This step designers test the solution’s effectiveness, reflect in their design, and recommend any potential improvement.

This step the designers deliver a formal presentation of their solution and share their project documentation with their clients.

Repeating a process to yield results successively closer to the goal.

A group of documentation that can include client interview responses, observations, research, design drawings, prototypes, photos, videos, test results, or satisfaction surveys.

A tool for comparing design solutions against one another, using specific criteria that are based on project requirements.

A medical professional who helps patients who require body braces, called orthoses, to support their backs, legs, or feet.
