Table of Contents Introduction Engineering By Design - Process


The engineering by design process is a series of steps that engineers follow to come up with a solution to a problem. Many times the solution involves designing a product (like an anemometer or a new sail) that meets certain criteria and/or accomplishes a certain task.


The steps of the engineering design process are to: 1. Define the Problem - The engineering design process starts when you ask, “Who needs what because why?


2. Investigate the Context – Research (providing evidence) existing solutions noting key features, do background research on product users, specify design requirements, and materials.


3. Generate Ideas – There are always many good possibilities for solving design problems. Good designers try to generate as many possible solutions. Have students come up with at least three potential design ideas to choose from.


4. Plan – Choose the best solution, select materials, and generate a plan. Consider whether each possible solution meets your design requirements including costs, and materials.


5. Produce a solution - Build a prototype, test it, redesign, and retest. Engineers do not always follow the engineering design process steps in order, one after an- other. It is very common to design something, test it, find a problem, and then go back to an earlier step to make a modification or change to your design. Engineers are constantly evalu- ating their work; your students should follow the same process.
