1. Introduction to DESIGN AND THE DESIGN PROCESS

2. Design Process in IED

3. The Design Process:
Is the organized and orderly approach to solving problems and involves 6 steps:
Define the Problem
Generate Concepts (Brainstorming)
Develop a Solution
Construct and Test a Prototype
Evaluate the Solution
Present the Solution
Any stage in the process can send you “back to the drawing board”

4. The Design Process:

5. Phase One: Define the Problem or Problem Identification
Identify and/or recognize the problem
Solve the problem AND meet the customers needs or desires
Must also meet government standards
Even existing products are revised and updated according to the user’s desires and because of new technology.
What are some examples you can think of?

6. Phase Two: Generate Concepts or Ideation
Collection of ideas: Brainstorming
Technical sketches

7. Phase Three: Develop a Solution / Analysis of Design
Best solution(s) selected….usually involves AutoCAD/Inventor
Consider cost, manufacturing, repair, environmental impact, power used, new technology

8. Phase Four: Construct and Test a Prototype
3D CAD drawings
Prototype
3D Printing
Testing using software or prototype

9. Phase Five: Evaluate the Solution
What did Testing Show?
Other Questions
Provides Value

10. Phase Six: Present the Solution / Production or Working Drawings
Show all views of product
Dimensions
Tolerances
Notes
Assembly drawings

11. Design Process

12. Other Considerations…
Patent
Portfolio

13. Break Time! -back to it in 5 mins.

14. Two distinct lines of graphic representation
Artistic
To display the aesthetic, philosophic, abstract or even emotional ideas
Technical
To represent the design of objects or buildings to be built.
Both can actually be used together for architects, designers, engineers, etc.
What do you feel is your strongest?

15. Technical Drawings Serve one to three purposes: Visualization
Communication
Documentation

16. Technical Drawing

17. The 3 “L” s: Line types Line weights Lettering

18. Line Types & Weights Visible (outline) Section (hatch) Hidden Center
Dimension & Extension lines
Cutting plane
Break
Phantom

19. Rules of Thumb Use a straight edge!
Start a line with clear, crisp and definite mark
Rotate pencil as you go across
End with same bold, crisp definite end
The contrast in different line weights is in the width of the line, not in the darkness of it
DO NOT do short, light sketch lines!!!

20. Lettering Legible Proportionate Typically 1/8” Guidelines used
Font: Gothic, Romans, Inclined or Italic
Typically all caps
Uniform, consistent
Uniform spacing

22. The 3 “L” s:
What were they?
