Process Steps
The 1st of 12 steps in the Engineering Design Process.
What is Define The Problem?
Compromise made during the Engineering Design Process. A choice made between positive and negative impacts of a design.
What is a Trade-Off?
Circular, involving repetition of steps.
What is iterative or iteration?
The average number in a data set.
What is the mean?
Three-dimensional and tangible models that represent the solution
What is a Physical Model?
Uses data driven decision making to select a final solution that aligns with the problem statement and all criteria and constraints.
What is Select an Approach?
A systematic application of mathematical, scientific and technical principles
What is Engineering Design?
Technical Drawings, presentations, tests, models, and test data in the EDP are used to...
What is Communicate?
The process of collecting, organizing, and analyzing data.
What is statistics?
This physical model performs exactly as the final solution would and can be used for testing.
What is a Prototype?
This step includes Decision Matrix to choose best idea.
What is Select an Approach?
A set of drawings incorporating 3 faces of an object. Top, Side, and Front
What is Orthographic/Multiview?
Input > Process > Output > Feedback
What is the Universal Systems Model?
The median of this data set: 1, 8, 3, 5, 8
What is 5?
An abstract model that use the language of mathematics to describe the predicted behavior of the solution.
What is a Mathematical Model?
This step includes Mind Mapping, Deferring Judgement, Wild Ideas, One Conversation at a time.
What is Brainstorming Solutions?
Specific, goal-directed research conducted by a company to design new innovations.
What is Research and Development?
In Engineering you communicate the process, in science, you do this...
What is report your results/draw conclusions?
The mode of this data set: 1, 8, 3, 5, 8
What is 8?
An abstract model that use language and graphic-based representations to convey meaning.
What is a Conceptual Model?
This step from the 5 step model expanded to: Develop a Written Design Proposal and Make a Model/Prototype
What is Generate a Solution?
This looks exactly as the final solution would but does not function
What is a Mock-Up?
Identified elements and/or features of a product or system that can be measured.
What is a criterion?
The median of this data set: 1, 8, 3, 5, 8, 10
What is 6.5?
This conceptual model includes dimensions, isometric and orthographic projections, and other specific details about a design solution.
What is a Technical Drawing?
