Description

Incorporates the design process methodology used by Engineers in successful companies to formulate solutions to a product or project design problem. Reviews the design process from problem statement to prototype fabrication (where applicable) and testing. Includes, as applicable, examples of the preparation and use of effective marketing data, patent and literature search for prior customer and engineering specifications, brainstorming techniques to generate feasible solutions to the problem, and the process for selection the most viable solution. Provides examples of generating labor and materials budgets for product/project development and the presentation of these results in an effective oral and written communication. Final project incorporates past curriculum subjects and materials in an inclusive design effort. Deliverable is a workable design and prototype, documentation package and presentation.
