How might we create the best Engineers try to think "outside the box" in order to
possible solution to a problem? solve new problems or find ways to improve current
solutions.
What is the most effective way to Brainstorming with a group, research and testing
generate potential solutions to a possible solutions
problem? How many alternate
solutions should you generate?
What is an engineer? What types of Engineering is the application of mathematics and
work do engineers do? scientific principles to better or improve life.An
engineer is a person who is trained in and uses
technological and scientific knowledge to solve
practical problems. Research, Develop, Design,
Supervise, Manage, Production and
Construction,operations,plant management, and
sales
Why Keep an Engineering Notebook? An engineering notebook is recognized as a legal
document that is used in patent activities to...
Prove the origin of an idea that led to a solution
Prove when events or ideas occurred
Prove diligence in turning the idea into a solution
Prove when an idea became a working solution
("reduced to practice")
What are the 4 best Practices for the Be Neat,
Engineering Notebook? be Accurate,
be Legible,
be Thorough
,Explain the concept of proportion. Paying close attention to the underlying basic shapes
and the relative proportions of various features of
the object will allow you to more accurately reflect
the true shapes and proportions of the object in your
sketch
Why would the ability to create Representing existing objects and new ideas with
realistic sketches make a person a sketches can make the design process more effective
more competent designer and efficient and greatly enhance the ability of
others to understand your ideas.Allows them to
communicate their ideas more clearly.
What is the purpose of sketching your Sketches provide a means through which one can
ideas? quickly and clearly communicate ideas
Define and differentiate invention and Invention: A new product, system, or process that has
innovation. never existed before, created by study and
experimentation.
Innovation: An improvement of an existing
technological product, system, or method of doing
something.
Brainstorm A group technique for solving problems, generating
ideas, stimulating creative thinking, etc. by
unrestrained spontaneous participation in discussion
Constrait 1. A limit to a design process. Constraints may be such
things as appearance, funding, space, materials, and
human capabilities. 2. A limitation or restriction.
Design . An iterative decision-making process that produces
plans by which resources are converted into
products or systems that meet human needs and
wants or solve problems. 2. A plan or drawing
produced to show the look and function or workings
of something before it is built or made. 3. A
decorative pattern.
, A Design Brief A written plan that identifies a problem to be solved,
its criteria, and its constraints. The design brief is used
to encourage thinking of all aspects of a problem
before attempting a solution.
Design Statement A part of a design brief that challenges the designer,
describes what a design solution should do without
describing how to solve the problem, and identifies
the degree to which the solution must be executed.
Engineering Notebook An engineering notebook is a book in which an
engineer will formally document, in chronological
order, all of his/her work that is associated with a
specific design project.
Prototype A full-scale working model used to test a design
concept by making actual observations and
necessary adjustments.
Research The systematic study of materials and sources in
order to establish facts and reach new conclusions.
Order of Design Process Define Problem
Generate Concepts
Develop a Solution
Construct and test Prototype
Evaluate Solution
Present Solution

Center Line A line which defines the center of arcs, circles, or
symmetrical parts
