3. Engineering Design Model - Steps 1.INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH 2.GENERATION OF SOLUTIONS 3. DEVELOPMENTAL WORK 4.PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT 5.TESTING 6.EVALUATION AND REDESIGN

4. Investigation and Research Most important step Problem Identification Different Angles and Perspectives http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvFg MQvIm30 ENGINEERING DESIGN MODEL

5. Parameters and constraints AVOID- solving symptoms of problems and not the problem INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH

6. Generation of Solutions As Many solutions as possible No wrong answers Think outside the box ENGINEERING DESIGN MODEL

7. Development Work Evaluate and decide on solution and design Cost Shape Aesthetics Ergonomics Safety Etc. ENGINEERING DESIGN MODEL

8. Prototype Development Create model/ makeup of your design Follow blueprint Full scale vs. Scaled down? Does the Design Solve the Problem? ENGINEERING DESIGN MODEL

9. Testing: Does this prototype / Design Solve the problem? Is it the best possible solution? Can it be redesigned to : Cheaper Lighter Stronger Material selction

10. Evaluation and Redesign Did development and testing create new ideas or direction? Is this the best possible solution to the problem? ENGINEERING DESIGN MODEL

11. Ergonomically design a mouse prototype for a selected target population Sketch Target population information Prototype – styrofoam present ERGONOMIC MOUSE DESIGN PROJECT
