  3. What is Engineering Design? • The application of scientific knowledge to the development of a product or process.

  4. Engineering Design is… • Analytical • Complex • Creative • Interactive • Interdisciplinary • Iterative

  5. The Design Process • Identify a need • Define the problem • Brainstorm a preliminary solution • Analyze, refine, and evaluate • Develop a detailed design

  6. A Case Study in Design • Space Ship One and the X-Prize

  7. Identify a Need • NASA • Efficiency • Cost Overruns • Trailblazing • X-Prize

  8. Define the Problem • Efficient Space Travel • Cheap • Safe • Repeatable • Readily Available

  9. Preliminary Solutions

  10. The Final Design • ScaledComposites

  11. Space Ship One

  12. Structural Design

  13. Structural Design • Strength • Stability • Aesthetics • Serviceability

  14. Structural Design • Strength

  15. Structural Design • Stability

  16. Structural Design • Aesthetics

  17. Structural Design • Serviceability

  18. The Immediate Future…

  19. Today’s Activity • Using the materials provided, build a straw structure. • The structure must be able to support a bottle of water. • The group with the tallest structure, which supports the bottle for at least 5 seconds, wins. • The competition height will be measured from the base of the structure (base plate) to the highest point of the bottle of water. • The structure must be fastened to the base plate and be mobile. • The water bottle is to be used in the test (competition) phase only. • Measurements will be taken from the base to the highest point on the bottle.
