    Design process

    By Dr.Yasmin
    Design process
    • What is a design process?
    • Design process: is a series of steps that engineers follow to
    come up with a solution for the problem.
    • The process is usually thought of as a loop, since engineers are constantly
    trying to improve technologies once they are created.
    Criteria and constraint
    • Engineers identify specific criteria for the design.
    • Criteria: are standards on which a decision should be based.
    • The design will be tested based on these criteria or standards.
    • Engineers also describe possible constraints.
    • Constraints: are things that might limit or stop a solution to the problem.
    • Time, money, and materials are often constraints.
    • Example: engineers might need a cell phone battery that lasts for two days, but the
    constraint will be the size. They know that making a larger battery will work, but size is
    a constraint, so they need to think of a different solution.
    Brainstorming

    • Why is brainstorming an important part of


    the design?
    Brainstorming helps people generate ideas
    for a solution to a problem
    Prototype
    • The next phase of the engineering design process involves researching,
    brainstorming and testing multiple solutions that might solve the problem.
    • By exploring multiple solutions, engineers can weigh their options in terms of
    materials, cost and other factors.
    • Engineers usually work as a team to build models and test designs.
    • A prototype: is an original or first model of something from to test
    and improve for the final design.
    • Engineers then record all the data so they can make informed decisions.
    Steps of a Design process
    1) Find a problem
    2) Brainstorming ideas
    3) Plan and research
    4) Make a prototype
    5) Improve, build and design
    6) Record and communicate results
    Questions

    • Why should criteria and constraints be determined at


    the beginning of a design process?
    Designers and engineers do not want to waste time
    working on a design that might not be the right size or
    too expensive to produce.
    • What are some examples of a constraint?
    - The materials and their availability
    - The safety of the workers
    - The time needed to complete the design
    - The money
    • How are the failure points in the design process
    important when designing a model or a
    prototype?
    Information from failed solutions can help
    improve the design of the model.
    •The End!
