1. Design Principles & Considerations Unit 3, Lesson 1 Explanation © 2011 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEM  Center for Teaching and Learning™ Foundations of Technology

2. The Unit Big Idea The Engineering Design process is a systematic, iterative problem solving method which produces solutions to meet human wants and desires. © 2011 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEM  Center for Teaching and Learning™ Foundations of Technology

3. The Lesson Big Idea Engineers and designers must incorporate design principles when generating solutions to problems. © 2011 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEM  Center for Teaching and Learning™ Foundations of Technology

4. Design  To solve problems engineers, architects, designers  Design requires taking constraints into account © 2011 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEM  Center for Teaching and Learning™ Foundations of Technology

5. Design  Designer  Creativity  Resourcefulness  Ability to visualize  Ability to think abstractly  Designers also have to take into account. © 2011 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEM  Center for Teaching and Learning™ Foundations of Technology

6. Design Principles  Established design principles are used to create designs across all technologies and to evaluate designs . the material properties or flexibility related to the purpose of an object . the position of elements in relation to each other . the purpose of an object . the size of different elements in relation to each other © 2011 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEM  Center for Teaching and Learning™ Foundations of Technology

7. Universal Design  All new environments and products  Should be usable by everyone regardless of © 2011 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEM  Center for Teaching and Learning™ Foundations of Technology

8. Design Considerations  Design is the result of a  Design problems seldom arise in a  Design is driven by  Design sometimes compete with each other.  Design is the result of goal-oriented  Designs must be continually © 2011 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEM  Center for Teaching and Learning™ Foundations of Technology

9. Reflection  Can you think of a real world example of one of the considerations from the previous slide?  For example:  Consideration: Design requirements sometimes compete with each other.  Example: The design of a green building may require the installation of solar panels to generate electricity off the grid, however there is limited space for the solar panels. © 2011 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEM  Center for Teaching and Learning™ Foundations of Technology
