  6. ENGR 107 - Introduction to Engineering Problem Solving

  7. ENGR 107 - Introduction to Engineering Problem Solving • The professional engineer is expected to approach, analyze, and solve a range of technical problems intelligently and efficiently. • Engineers solve problems by • applying their knowledge and experience • following a process • This process is known as the Engineering Method or the Engineering Design Process.

  8. ENGR 107 - Introduction to Engineering The Engineering Design Process

  9. ENGR 107 - Introduction to Engineering The Engineering Method • Recognize and understand the problem. • Accumulate data and verify accuracy. • Select the appropriate theory or principle. • Make necessary assumptions. • Solve the problem. • Verify and check results.

  10. ENGR 107 - Introduction to Engineering The Engineering Method • Verification is an essential part of the Engineering Method. • If the answer doesn't seem reasonable, there is probably an error in the mathematics, the assumptions, or perhaps in the theory used. Judgment is critical. • Examination and evaluation of an answer's reasonableness are habits that the engineer should strive to acquire.

  15. Student Exercise: Identify 3 other members of the class whom you will work with on the Design Project(s). (This will be your 4-member group) Design Project ENGR 107 - Introduction to Engineering

  16. Student Exercise: Brainstorm about the following questions. Come up with a list for each. Be prepared to discuss with the rest of the class. 1. What do I need to know? (research) 2. What do I need to do? (build) 3. What do I need to overcome? (constraints) Design Project ENGR 107 - Introduction to Engineering
