Engineering Design Process Review

Engineers will then present their solutions by SHOWING it to their peers

• ask

• imagine

• plan

• communicate

If an engineer is generating IDEAS and brainstorming possible solutions, they are in this step of the design process

• imagine

• create

• ask

• plan

In this step, engineers will select a solution. They ask themselves, "Which of my ideas do I want to try?" They will also DRAW A BLUEPRINT and label it.

Now the engineer will evaluate the prototype. They will ask, "Does it work? What could I do to MAKE IT BETTER?"

• test

• improve

• identify the problem

• create

During this step, engineers will DEFINE THE PROBLEM. They ask themselves, "What am I trying to find out? What do I want to know?"

In this step, engineers will BUILD their chosen solution while using their blueprint (brainstorm) as a model. They will build their prototype.

• identify the problem

• plan

• share ideas

In this step, engineers will see if their prototype works how they want it to work
