Research - The systematic study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions. Design – A plan or drawing produced to show the look and function or workings of something before it is built or made. Development - Is the design along with the construction, fabrication, assembly, layout, and testing of scale models, pilot models, and experimental models for pilot processes or procedures that will work Supervise/Manage – In charge of project from the idea to the mass production. Estimate time and cost. Assign engineers to their roles. etc. Project Lead The Way, Inc. Copyright 2007
