The Unit Big Idea
The Engineering Design process is a systematic, iterative problem solving method which produces solutions to meet human wants
and desires.

The Lesson Big Idea
Engineers and designers must incorporate design principles when generating solutions to
problems.

Design
To solve problems engineers, architects, designers
Design requires taking constraints into account

Design
Designer Creativity Resourcefulness Ability to visualize Ability to think abstractly Designers also have to take
into account.

Design Principles
Established design principles are used to create designs across all technologies and to evaluate designs . the material properties or
flexibility related to the purpose of an object . the position of elements in
relation to each other . the purpose of an object . the size of different
elements in relation to each other

All new environments and products Should be usable by everyone

Reflection
Can you think of a real world example of one of the considerations from the previous slide? For example:
Consideration: Design requirements sometimes compete with each other.
Example: The design of a green building may require the installation of solar panels to generate electricity off the grid, however there is limited space for the solar panels.
