The Steps
Step One- Define
The first step is to define the problem that you are trying to solve in this process.
Step Two- Research
Before creating technology in order to solve the problem, you must research the topic and obtain some background information.
Step Three- Brainstorm
The third step is to explore and brainstorm different ideas that would solve your problem.
Step Four- Choose
Once finished with imagining up some ideas, choose one that best solves your problem.
Step Five- Build
The fifth step is to use your materials and build your idea.
Step Six- Test
After you build your idea, test it to make sure it works and see if if solves the problem you are trying to solve.
Step Seven- Communicate
Discuss and reflect on the technology you have built and learn more about how you can improve your idea.
Step Eight- Redesign
With your new knowledge from testing your idea, redesign and build a stronger and refined product.
Now that you know what the Engineering Design Process is, you can now fully experience our project as we design an earthquake-safe building using this process as a guide:
