The Engineering Design Process

The Engineering Design Process

1. ASK
   
   • What is the problem?
   • Define constraints (e.g. time, money, materials)
   • Define criteria for success!
2. IMAGINE
   • Brainstorm possible solution!
   • Choose the best solution!
3. PLAN
   • Draw it!
   • Make a materials list
   • Gather materials!
4. CREATE
   • Make a prototype!
   • Test and evaluate the prototype!
5. IMPROVE
   • Modify and retest the prototype!
   • Make it better!
