Engineering Design
Broad Concept: Engineering design involves practical problem solving, research, development, and invention and requires designing, drawing, building, testing, and redesigning.
| 1.1 | Identify and explain the steps of the engineering design process, i.e., identify the problem, research the problem, develop possible solutions, select the best possible solution(s), construct a prototype, test and evaluate, communicate the solution(s), and redesign. |
| 1.2 | Demonstrate knowledge of pictorial and multi-view drawings (e.g., orthographic projection, isometric, oblique, perspective) using proper techniques. |
| 1.3 | Demonstrate the use of drafting techniques with paper and pencil or computeraided design (CAD) systems when available. |
| 1.4 | Apply scale and proportion to drawings, e.g., 1/4" = 1'0". |
| 1.5 | Interpret plans, diagrams, and working drawings in the construction of a prototype. |
Suggested Learning Activities
- Create an engineering design presentation using multimedia, oral, and written communication. (1.1)
- Choose the optimal solution to a problem, clearly documenting ideas against design criteria and constraints, and explain how human values, economics, ergonomics, and environmental considerations have influenced the solution. (1.1)
- Visit a local industry in any area of technology and describe the research and development processes of the company. (1.1, 1.5)
- Have students utilize library resources/internet to research the patent process (1.1, 1.2, 1.5)
- Create pictorial and multi-view drawings that include scaling and dimensioning. (1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5)
- Create plans, diagrams, and working drawings in the construction of a prototype. (1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5)
- Create drawings that include scale and dimension. (1.2, 1.3)
