The Engineering Design Process

Is the first step in the design process. Includes the problem being identified, validated, and justified. The design requirements are determined and the design brief is created.

• prototype

• Valid

• define the problem

• present solution

• construct/test prototype

This step in Design process includes researching past solutions and brainstorming possible new solutions. Selecting an approach using a Decision Matrix.

• generate concepts
• Justifiable
• Brainstorm
• Iterative
• evaluate solution

This step in Design process includes creating a detailed design solution and detailed technical drawings.

• present solution

• define the problem

• Valid

• Prototype

• develop solution

This step in Design process includes building the a testable prototype. Then testing it for performance/ usability/ durability, collecting the data, analyzing the date and creating a test report of the findings.

• construct/test prototype
• generate concepts
• Justifiable
• Brainstorm
• Iterative

This step in Design process includes evaluating the solution's effectiveness, reflecting on design, making recommendation for improvements of the design, and revising design documents.

• develop solution

• evaluate solution

• define the problem

• Valid

• Prototype

This is the last step in the Design process and is when the project portfolio is shared usually during a formal presentation.

• present solution
• construct/test prototype
• generate concepts
• Justifiable
• Brainstorm

A full- scale working model used to test a design concept

• Prototype
• present solution
• construct/test prototype
• generate concepts
• Justifiable

A group technique for solving problems, generating ideas, stimulating creative thinking, etc. by unrestrained spontaneous participation in discussion

• define the problem

• Iterative

• evaluate solution

• develop solution

• brainstorm

A systematic problem-solving strategy, with criteria and constraints, used to develop many possible solutions to a problem or to satisfy human needs and wants and winnow (narrow) down the possible solutions to one final choice.
