  1. Applying “Engineering Processes” to solve problems • Learning to apply project management systems • Tools to manage time and resources • Accessing information • Understanding systems • Working in teams • Problem solving

  2. Multi-step approach to solving a problem IDEATION REFINEMENT IMPLEMENTATION

  3. IDEATION Problem Identification Preliminary Ideas Preliminary Design IDEATION IDEATION n. The faculty or capacity of the mind for forming ideas; the exercise of this capacity; the act of the mind by which objects of sense are apprehended and retained as objects of thought.

  4. IDEATION Problem Identification Preliminary Ideas Preliminary Design IDEATION Identify the resources available to solve the problem Consider Time the only resource that will never change! Clearly identify the problem

  5. IDEATION Problem Identification Preliminary Ideas Preliminary Design IDEATION Think outside the box, no idea is a bad idea, one persons “goofy” idea may lead to another good idea. Brainstorm as many different ideas as possible

  6. IDEATION Problem Identification Preliminary Ideas Preliminary Design IDEATION Sketch to check for feasibility Sketch to share ideas Sketch to develop ideas

  7. REFINEMENT Problem Identification Preliminary Ideas Preliminary Design IDEATION REFINEMENT n 1: a highly developed state; 2: the result of improving something; 3: the process of removing impurities from oil or metals or sugar 4: a subtle difference in meaning 5: elegance by virtue of fineness of manner and expression. Modeling Design Analysis REFINEMENT Design Visualization

  8. REFINEMENT Problem Identification Preliminary Ideas Preliminary Design IDEATION Developing Prototypes Checking For Clearances Checking For Structural Integrity Assessing Ability to Fabricate Modeling Design Analysis REFINEMENT Design Visualization

  9. REFINEMENT Problem Identification Preliminary Ideas Preliminary Design Testing for strength Speed Ability to complete the task Will the pit crew be able to fix it if it breaks How much power does it draw IDEATION Modeling Design Analysis REFINEMENT Design Visualization

  10. REFINEMENT Problem Identification Preliminary Ideas Preliminary Design IDEATION Sketches Working drawings Assembly drawings Preliminary prototypes Modeling Design Analysis REFINEMENT Design Visualization

  11. IMPLEMENATION Problem Identification Preliminary Ideas Preliminary Design IDEATION Developing Plans Acquiring Resources Modeling Design Analysis Dividing Tasks REFINEMENT IMPLEMENTATION Fabrication Design Visualization Testing IMPLEMENTATION n 1: the act of accomplishing some aim or executing some order; "the agency was created for the implementation of the policy"

  12. IMPLEMENATION Developing Plans Acquiring Resources Dividing Tasks IMPLEMENTATION Fabrication Testing Sketches Working Drawings Assembly Drawings Checking Clearances and Tolerances Integration of Systems

  13. IMPLEMENATION Developing Plans Acquiring Resources Dividing Tasks IMPLEMENTATION Fabrication Testing Assigning Responsibility Deciding what to buy and what to make Considering Budget Finding Best Deals Checking orders Caring for parts

  14. IMPLEMENATION Developing Plans Acquiring Resources Dividing Tasks IMPLEMENTATION Fabrication Testing Project Manager Electronics CAD team Programming Strategy Theme development (Logo/shirt design) Home page development Tool team Fabrication Pit crew Documentation

  15. IMPLEMENATION Developing Plans Acquiring Resources Dividing Tasks IMPLEMENTATION Fabrication Testing Lead Engineer Test Bed Team Shop Forman Safety Supervisor Machine Operators Inspectors Integrators Pit Team

  16. IMPLEMENATION Developing Plans Acquiring Resources Dividing Tasks IMPLEMENTATION Fabrication Testing Durability How much power does it draw? Is it easily fixed? Do we need spare parts? What could go wrong? Decide on teams best driver (how will the team make that choice?)

  17. Steps to Solving a Problem Identify the Problem Develop Ideas Refine the Design Analyze Solution Test, test, test
