1. The Engineering Design Process

2. Identify the Problem
Example:
A device is needed that would allow a you with rheumatoid arthritis to open jars with different size lids

3. research Identify what you need to solve the problem and constraints
What information do we need to solve the problem?
Identify what you need to solve the problem and constraints
( what limitations you might have)
What exactly should the device do?
What should it not do?

4. Brainstorm Ideas
Draw three different possible solutions that will help you solve the problem.
Think OUTSIDE the box!
This begins the creative part
Any format is ok. (words, sketches)

5. Decide on the Initial Design
Narrow down the possibilities from ALL group members!
Decide on the best idea
Justify the idea

6. Time to build your prototype !
Create the Design
Time to build your prototype !

7. Test and Evaluate Does it work as anticipated?
Does it meet all criteria and constraints?

8. Redesign or Refine If it works, improve it.
If it doesn’t work, redesign it.
What went wrong? How can we fix the problem?
