12/8/2016

Here is the note from today's class:

Remember to follow the Engineering Design Process

Identify the need or problem

Research the need or problem

Use the internet, books, and other resources. Find out how similar problems have been solved.

Develop possible solutions

Brainstorm possible solutions
Use mathematics and science

Select the best solution

A concept that best meets the need or solves the problem

Construct a prototype

Draw diagrams and build models of the concept.

Test and evaluate the solution(s)

Use measurement, observation, and run tests on the models.
Does it work and does it meet the design constraints?
Share your ideas with others so that they may provide input.

Redesign

Overhaul the solution(s) based on test results and new input.

Communicate the solution(s)

Create a report that explains the problem and solution, so that others may learn from your work.

A more detailed explanation of the Engineering Process can be found here. An outline for your reports can also be downloaded from here.
