1. Engineering Design Process

2. Learning Standard
2. Engineering Design Engineering Design is an iterative process that involves modeling and optimizing to develop technical solutions to problems within given constraints Identify and explain the steps of the Engineering Design Process, i.e., identify the need or problem, research the problem, develop possible solutions, select the best possible solution(s), construct a prototype, test and evaluate, communicate the solution(s), and redesign

3. Learning Objectives Students will be able to
1) Describe & explain the Engineering Design Process 2) Understand & explain how the Engineering Design Process is used? 3) List the 8 steps of the Engineering Design Process in their correct order 4) Use the Engineering Design Process to solve a real world problem

4. What is an Engineer? A person that: Designs new technology or
Improves existing technology

5. People that create technology follow a series of 8 steps called the Engineering Design Process
Uses scientific discoveries to create new technology
Design:
A plan
Process:
A set of steps that lead to a result

6. Step 1
Identify the problem

7. Step 2
Research the problem

8. Step 3
Brainstorm & make a list of possible solution(s)

9. Step 4
Choose the best solution

10. Step 5
Make a prototype
* Create a drawing or model of the solution that you think will best solve the problem

11. Step 6
Test & Evaluate the solution
* Does it work?

12. Step 7
Communicate the solution
* Present your idea to others

13. Step 8 Redesign (if necessary)
* Modify your solution using info from your presentation (if necessary)
