• Testing Solutions

• Designing Solutions

• Identifying the Problem

• Planning Solutions

Which word best describes a constraint?

• Ask, Improve, Communicate, Brainstorm, Create, Plan

You try, you fail

you try, you fail

you try, you fail

It's OK if you fail as long as you keep doing this step in the engineering design process...

• Think about why you failed

• Quit

• Improve upon failure points

• Create a new problem

You begin to create a prototype of your design only to find that your solution isn't working at all. What should you do?

• Add more tape

• Go back to an earlier stage and choose another solution

• Blame your partner

• Keep going and hope it will be ok
