    The engineering design process involves 9 key steps: 1) identifying the problem, 2) defining the problem, 3) gathering information, 4) developing alternative solutions, 5) selecting and refining the best solution, 6) expressing the design solution, 7) building a model or prototype, 8) evaluating, revising, and refining the solution, and 9) communicating the solution. The process is iterative, with refinement and evaluation occurring at multiple steps to arrive at an optimal design.

    Engineering Design

    Process

    ETP 2005 – Brian Vance


    This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant
    No. 0402616. Any opinions, findings and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this
    material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the view of the National
    Science Foundation (NSF).
    1. Identify the Problem
     The first thing a good designer does is
    identify the need, problem, or opportunity.
    This is the first stage in the design loop.
    This appears to be a simple task but it
    requires careful observation and a critical
    eye. Taking the time to find the root
    problem is extremely important so that the
    ultimate solution works.
    2. Define or “refine” the Problem
     The second stage involves defining the
    problem to be solved. This involves an
    investigation to find out more information
    about the problem. A team effort may be
    required. Clarification begins with a
    design brief which then guides further
    development by describing the limitations
    and requirements for the project’s solution
    3. Gather Information
     The third activity involves research and
    investigation on the problem and the
    potential solutions.
     (Internet or other research – don’t reinvent
    the wheel)
    4. Develop Alternate Solutions
     This is the divergent thinking step –
    brainstorming and other techniques may
    be utilized. No possible solutions should
    be ignored.
     The more ideas generated give a greater
    probability of success.
     The first idea is rarely the best.
    5. Select & Refine the Best
    Solution

     The Design Proposal


     Now it is time to select the best solution for
    further development. An evaluation
    process stemming form the design brief
    may be utilized as with any decision
    process.
     Documentation should occur.
    6. Express the Design Solution
     There are many ways to express a
    concept. Two of the most common are
    verbal expression or text.
     Another method which is used when
    words are inadequate is mathematics or
    an expression

    continued
    6. Express the Design Solution
     Often however, a proposed solution has
    shape and is three dimensional, and
    someone on the team must understand it
    well enough to make a model or a
    prototype on the concept
     Almost every invention begins “life’ as a
    sketch on a back of a napkin or envelope
    7. Build a Model or Prototype of
    the Solution
     This is the modeling or construction part of
    the process. This part may contain the
    most technological problems.
    Experimentation with materials and
    techniques will need to be done before
    actual construction of the final model can
    be done. Technical planning happens at
    this stage, which could take the form of a
    prototype, two-or three dimensional model,
    or other clarification.
    8. Evaluate, Revise, and Refine
    the Solution
     At this step, analyze the solution in terms
    of effectiveness in solving the original
    need or problem. This may be as simple
    as applying the specifications to the end
    product to see if it does all that it is
    suppose to do, but more often it involves
    performance testing.
    9. Communicate the Solution
     Ideas need to be “sold” at this stage to clients or
    management. The presentation may include the
    prototypes, models, or other forms. The
    designer must know the design and subject
    matter related to the solution in order to
    effectively communicate the features. A
    designer, after completing the design process,
    can see how well he or she has accomplished
    the goals and whether more development work
    in necessary.
    Steps of the Engineering Design
    Process
     1. Identify the problem
     2. Define or “refine” the problem
     3. Gather information
     4. Develop alternate solutions
     5. Select and refine the best solution
     6. Express the design solution
     7. Build a model or prototype
     8. Evaluate, revise, and refine
     9. Communicate the solution
