All about EDP
The steps that engineers take to solve problems.
The Engineering Design Process
in this stage, you identify the needs and constraints
ask
The "needs" of the design. If you were an engineer with a business, this is what the client would tell you they wanted to be in the design.
Criteria
What is a short circuit?
A circuit with no load
A person who uses science, math, and creativity to solve problems.
An engineer
In this stage, you see how your prototype performs. You take data and make observations.
test
When you change something.
Modify
What is Ohm's Law?
V = I x R
The problem or challenge that needs to be solved.
need
research
Uses familiar objects to represent unfamiliar things.
Model
What does CAD stand for?
Computer Aided Design
Why is it important to fail early and fail often during the engineering design process?
When you fail quickly and often, it helps you to make the best product sooner because you can make changes along the way.
In this stage of the EDP, you make changes to your model based on your data/observations and get ready to test again.
Improve
A working model used to run tests and collect data.
Prototype
define stress and strain in civil engineering
stress - force distribution over cross-sectional area
strain - physical change in shape due to stress
What are the steps of the engineering design process in order?
Ask, research, imagine, plan, create, test, improve
(george didnt teach this but represent is also a step of edp >:[ )
In this stage of the EDP, you brainstorm ideas, conduct research, and make sketches.
Imagine
When you make the best choices to develop the best solution, using the smallest amount of materials and time to develop the best product, you __________ your process.
