The Design Process

Courtney Robertson

What are the two types of design? (List and define)

• Artistic Design: the type of design artists normally do

• Engineering Design: used to create plans for solutions

On which two aspects of design does artistic design focus? (List and define)

• Content: topic, information, or emotion that the artist is trying to communicate

• Form: how the solution looks or sounds

On which two aspects of design does engineering design focus? (List and define)

• Form: how the solution looks• Function: how the solution works

What are the two main categories of engineering design? (List and define)

• System Design: involves organizing different parts to solve a problem

• Product Design: the creation of products meeting human needs and wants

What are the eight steps of the Engineering Design Process?

• 1: Identify the problem• 2: Research the problem• 3: Creating solutions to the problem• 4: Selecting and refining the solution• 5: Modeling the solution• 6: Testing the solution• 7: Communicating the solution• 8: Improving the solution

What is a Design Brief? (Use the following words in

your explanation: problem statement, constraints, criteria)

• The designer creates the design brief to guide the entire design process. The design brief includes the criteria and constraints of the design.

How are solutions created? (Use the following words in your

explanation: ideation, graphic organizers, rough sketches, pictorial sketches)

• Brainstorming ideas, filling out graphic organizers, rough sketches and pictorial sketches.

• Rough sketches get the ideas onto paper.• Pictorial sketches show how the object would

look to the eye

What is rendering? (Use the internet to find an

example of a rendering and paste it on this slide.) • Rendering: sketch that is shaded and colored

in full color

What is a detailed sketch? (Use the internet to find

an example of a detailed sketch and paste it on this slide.)

• Detailed Sketch: drawn using the sizes of the proposed solution. Includes dimensions.

What is a model and what is its purpose in the engineering design process?

• Model: used to communicate ideas, experiment with concepts and organize data.

• They allow people to actually feel and touch the object

What is the difference between a mock-up and a prototype?

• Mock-up: appearance models• Prototypes: physical models that actually

function

What is sustainable design? (page 232)

• Sustainable design: a design movement incorporating a wide view of products and their connections to humans and the environment.

This slide is simply an example of how to complete the slides that follow. You do not have to do anything to this slide!

Use shapes and text boxes to create a graphic organizer that illustrates the two types of design.
