The Engineering Design Process

Step 1: Define the Problem

Define the Problem


• Identify customer needs
• Set goals, requirements, criteria, and
constraints
Step 2: Research

Research
• Understand the problem deeper
• Evaluate existing solutions
Step 3: Imagine

Imagine
• Brainstorm creative ideas
• Encourage divergent thinking
Step 4: Model

Model
• Apply math & science
• Develop CAD/Computational models
Step 5: Create & Test

Create & Test


• Build prototypes
• Test against criteria
Step 6: Improve

Improve
• Refine designs
• Use customer feedback
Step 7: Iterative Nature

Iterative Nature
• Non-linear, fluid process
• Steps can be repeated
Step 8: Prototyping

Prototyping
• Create MVPs or mock-ups
• Learn and iterate
Step 9: Project Planning

Project Planning
• Failing to plan = planning to fail
• Adapt plans as needed
Step 10: Documentation

Documentation
• Maintain design notebook
• E.g. Edison’s 2,500+ notebooks
Step 11: Conclusion

Conclusion
• Customer-centered & iterative
• Requires planning & documentation
