developing drastically different outcomes for an idea
going through the same process over and over again
moving from one problem solution to a new problem completely
completely abandoning a project for a new one
Why does the Engineering Design Process exist?
to make things more complicated
to ensure that every problem has a solution
to give a systematic way to solve all problems
