3. INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH GENERATION OF SOLUTIONS 3. DEVELOPMENTAL WORK PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT TESTING EVALUATION AND REDESIGN Engineering Design Model - Steps

4. Engineering Design Model • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvFgMQvIm30 • Investigation and Research • Most important step • Problem Identification • Different Angles and Perspectives

5. Investigation and Research • Parameters and constraints • AVOID- solving symptoms of problems and not the problem

6. Engineering Design Model • Generation of Solutions • As Many solutions as possible • No wrong answers • Think outside the box

7. Engineering Design Model • Development Work • Evaluate and decide on solution and design • Cost • Shape • Aesthetics • Ergonomics • Safety • Etc.

8. Engineering Design Model • Prototype Development • Create model/ makeup of your design • Follow blueprint • Full scale vs. Scaled down? • Does the Design Solve the Problem?

9. Engineering Design Model • Testing: • Does this prototype / Design Solve the problem? • Is it the best possible solution? • Can it be redesigned to : • Cheaper • Lighter • Stronger • Material selction

10. Engineering Design Model • Evaluation and Redesign • Did development and testing create new ideas or direction? • Is this the best possible solution to the problem?

11. Ergonomic Mouse Design Project • Ergonomically design a mouse prototype for a selected target population • Sketch • Target population information • Prototype – styrofoam • present
