Engineering Design Process

Learning Standard 2. Engineering Design is an iterative process that involves modeling and optimizing

Learning Standard 2. Engineering Design is an iterative process that involves modeling and optimizing to develop technical solutions to problems within given constraints. 2. 1 Identify and explain the steps of the Engineering Design Process, i. e. , identify the need or problem, research the problem, develop possible solutions, select the best possible solution(s), construct a prototype, test and evaluate, communicate the solution(s), and redesign

Learning Objectives Students will be able to 1) Describe & explain the Engineering Design

Learning Objectives Students will be able to 1) Describe & explain the Engineering Design Process 2) Understand & explain how the Engineering Design Process is used? 3) List the 8 steps of the Engineering Design Process in their correct order 4) Use the Engineering Design Process to solve a real world problem

What is an Engineer? A person that: • Designs new technology or • Improves

What is an Engineer? A person that: • Designs new technology or • Improves existing technology Using creativity & understanding of materials, tools, math & science

Engineering Design is an iterative process that involves modeling and optimizing to develop technical solutions to problems within given constraints. Iterative: Repeating

People that create technology follow a series of 8 steps called the Engineering Design

People that create technology follow a series of 8 steps called the Engineering Design Process Engineering: Uses scientific discoveries to create new technology Design: A plan Process: A set of steps that lead to a result

Step 1 Identify the need or the problem * What is the problem? *

Step 1 Identify the need or the problem * What is the problem? * What do we need?

Step 2 Research the need or the problem * What is the current solution

Step 2 Research the need or the problem * What is the current solution to the problem or need?

Step 3 Develop possible solution(s) * Brainstorm * Make a list of your ideas

Step 3 Develop possible solution(s) * Brainstorm * Make a list of your ideas

Step 4 Select the best possible solution(s) * Which solution(s) best solve the original

Step 4 Select the best possible solution(s) * Which solution(s) best solve the original problem?

Step 5 Construct a prototype * Create a drawing or model of the solution(s)

Step 5 Construct a prototype * Create a drawing or model of the solution(s) that you think will best solve the problem

Step 6 Test & Evaluate the solution(s) * Does it work? * How do

Step 6 Test & Evaluate the solution(s) * Does it work? * How do you know?

Step 7 Communicate the solution(s) * Make a presentation showing how the solution solves

Step 7 Communicate the solution(s) * Make a presentation showing how the solution solves the problem * Discuss any tradeoffs * Discuss any negative impacts

Step 8 Redesign (if necessary) * Modify solution using info from tests & presentation

Step 8 Redesign (if necessary) * Modify solution using info from tests & presentation (if necessary)
