Your team is tasked with designing a new water filtration system for a community in need of clean drinking water. During the planning phase, you have to decide between using a complex filtration process that ensures the highest purity versus a simpler process that is easier to maintain and repair. How should you approach this decision in your engineering design process?
Choose the complex filtration process to ensure the highest purity of water.
Stick strictly to the budget even if it means compromising on filtration quality.
Discuss the pros and cons of different filtration options with your team and experts.
Proceed with the design without considering maintenance to prioritize initial efficiency.
