1. Engineering Design Central Concepts: Engineering design involves practical problem solving, research, development, and invention/innovation, and requires designing, drawing, building, testing, and redesigning. Students should demonstrate the ability to use the engineering design process to solve a problem or meet a challenge. Ma.Science and Engineering Framework 2006

1.1Identify and explain the steps of the engineering design process: identify the problem, research the problem, develop possible solutions, select the best possible solution(s), construct prototypes and/or models, test and evaluate, communicate the solutions, and redesign. Identify the problem Research the problem Develop solutions Select the best solution Construct a prototype Test and evaluate Communicate the solutions Redesign Ma.Science and Engineering Framework 2006

Step 1 Identify the problem Write down the original problem here. Student –We wanted to build a robot That can make morse code Ma.Science and Engineering Framework 2006

Step 2 Research the problem Explore other options via the internet Student: List the internet sites that were helpful. Site 1: mrcrokesrobotics.weebly.com Site 2: youtube.com What did you learn from your research? A how to build a telegraph B learned how to make a complex program Ma.Science and Engineering Framework 2006

Step 3 Develop solutions BRAINSTORM COLLABORATION Student : Share your ideas with your design team. List your ideas below. 1.Make it have a light that goes on and off 2.Make it make a beeping sound when touch sensor is pressed 3.Have a working program

Step 4 Select the best Possible solution(s) Student: Describe which solution(s) best meet the need or solve the problem. Describe exactly what idea or mixture of ideas your design team decided on for the first robot prototype? Use the next slide to respond. Ma.Science and Engineering Framework 2006

Student : Skillfully and imaginatively describe what your first prototype will look like. we used the ideas we came up with and decided that our present design was the best Our robot would have a touch sensor that would make a light Flicker on and off. It would also trigger a sound. There would be A piece to push to push the touch sensor. There would be a Lamp to show the dashes in morse code and sound to show the Dots in morse code.

Step 5 Construct a prototype Student: Build a robot with your nxt lego kit Ma.Science and Engineering Framework 2006 Use the next slide(s) for your digital pictures of your prototypes.

Step 6 Test and Evaluate the solution(s) 1.Does it work? Yes 2.Did it perform as expected? No 3.What changes are necessary? None 4.Does it meet the original design constraints? Yes 5.Can it be manufactured? Yes 6.Is it safe? Yes 7.What happens to the products when its useful life is finished? It is melted/recycled USE THE NEXT SLIDE FOR YOUR ANSWERS Ma.Science and Engineering Framework 2006

Step 7 Communicate the solution(s) Ma.Science and Engineering Framework 2006 Provide the YouTube link of your video that shows how your robot meets the challenge. YouTube video link : U&list=UUTL8LDc1zyyd-73I0X2UU1w
