Design Process (Massachusetts Frameworks)

- Identify the need or problem
- Research the need or problem
- Examine current state of the issue and current solutions
- Explore other options via the internet, library, interviews, etc.
- Develop possible solution(s)
- Brainstorm possible solutions
- Draw on mathematics and science
(and ART!!!)
- Articulate the possible solutions in two and three dimensions
- Refine the possible solutions
- Select the best possible solution(s)
- Determine which solution(s) best meet(s) the original requirements
- Construct a prototype
- Model the selected solution(s) in two and three dimensions
- Test and evaluate the solution(s)
- does it work?
- does it meet the original design constraints?
- Communicate the solution(s)
- Make an engineering presentation that includes a discussion of how the solution(s) best meet(s) the needs of the initial problem, opportunity, or need
- Discuss societal impact and tradeoffs of the solution(s)
- Redesign
- Overhaul the solution(s) based on information gathered during the tests and presentation
