The Design Process Design Technology Intro Design Technology Intro

In industry, the process of the making available for consumers is called the “Design Process”; and it consists of 3 parts. 1. Design 1. Design – Creating and testing a prototype product to meet a specific need. 2. Production 2. Production – Developing a process to convert raw materials into the product. 3. Marketing 3. Marketing – Advertising, selling, and subsequently maintaining and disposing of, or recycling, the product.

In Sec. 2, We Only Focus on Design Steps for proper design: 1.Identify a Need: - What is the product supposed to do? - What task will it perform? - How will it make our lives easier? Design Development Video Design Development Video

2. Specifications: -Physical = Elements design is to withstand? (Wind, rain, dirt, temperature) -Technical = What will the product do? (how fast, how strong, need E?) -Economical = Cost of producing the product? Pollution? Maintenance?

-Industrial = Where will it be built? Which tools? Who will build it? Training needed? -Human = Who will buy the product? What will it look like? Feel, Run or Sound like? -Environmental = Is it safe for the environ during production or using it?
