After building a paper airplane, you throw it and it immediately crashes. You realize that there is a major flaw in your design. What should be the next step?
destroy the old airplane and start from scratch
change the design and test it again
use a different color paper
Design Process
A systematic problem-solving strategy that designers follow to come up with a solution to a problem.
Are the goals or outcomes for a successful solution. Criteria should be determined before developing possible solutions.
Are limitations. framed as part of the problem; thing like money, time, size.
Why is it important to build a prototype?
Work out any design problems
To cause extra work and frustration
To add unnecessary steps in design process
To tire you guys out

The product must cost under $100 to make
The product must be under 4 pounds
all of the above
An Engineering Notebook is:
A loose leaf binder with engineering notes and calculations.
An electric document detailing the design process.
A record of the design process.
A collection of records, loose leaf binders and electronic documents of the design process.
Christian and Kehyla are working on a science project and they need to add some diagrams to their project file. If they want the diagrams to be permanently attached, they should . . .

wedge them between pages
attach them with glue or tape
use a paper clip
