Identifying and defining a problem to be solved
Define The Problem:
Engineers ask the following critical questions for any project or design they are doing.
You will start thinking like engineers by answering the following questions!
What is the problem that needs to be solved?
My Goal is to …………………
Who is the design product for, and why is it important to find a solution?
My audience are …………………….
What are the limitations and requirements?
My role is to ……………………………………
My situation requires………………………………

Generating possible solutions
Brainstorm Possible Solutions
Good designers brainstorm possible solutions before opting to start a design, building a
list of as many solutions as possible. It is best to avoid judging the designs and instead
just let the ideas flow.
List as many solutions possible for the problem. Make sure to list all what you think of no
matter how simple or complicated it might seem.
Research Ideas / Explore Possibilities for your Engineering Design Project
Use the experience of others to explore possibilities. By researching past projects you
can avoid the problems faced by others. You should speak to people from various
backgrounds, including users or customers. You may find some solutions that you had
not considered.
Write down a research plan that you are willing to do in the aim of deepening your
understanding of the problem and the possible solutions.

Establish Criteria and Constraints
Establish any factors that may constrain your work. This can be done by revisiting the
requirements and bringing together your findings and ideas from previous steps.
Criteria Constraints
Consider Alternative Solutions
You may wish to consider further solutions to compare the potential outcomes and find
the best approach. This will involve repeating some of the earlier steps for each viable
idea.
Alternative solutions How does it drive my project to the best

approach?

In STEAM
Select An Approach
Determine which approach best meets your requirements. Reject those that don’t meet
your requirements.
The best approach to reach my goal is ……………………………………
Testing Solutions and collecting data
Create
Having chosen your approach, the next step is to refine and improve the solution to
create a design.
Sketch your design to visualize your thinking and what’s going on in your brain.
List all materials needed and any steps that you will follow in building your prototype.
Material Needed Steps to follow
4
In STEAM
Think of all hazards and risks that you might face while building your prototype and find a
way to avoid it.
Risks How to eliminate/avoid risks!!
Make A Prototype
Use your design you created to make a prototype that will allow you to test how the final
product will perform. Prototypes are often made from different materials than the final
version and are generally finished to a lesser standard.
Upload a picture of your prototype. In case the data collected is in the form of tables or
graphs, include here.
5
In STEAM
Analyzing and interpreting results
Test And Evaluate
Each prototype will need testing, re-evaluation, and improvement. Testing and evaluation
allow you to see where any improvements are needed.
What were the strengths of my design? What were the weaknesses of my design?
How can I improve my design?
Refine The Design
Once testing has been completed, the design can be revised and improved. This step can
be repeated several times as more prototypes are created and evaluated.
What I did to improve my design is …………………………………………………… and it

turned out to be ………………………………………………………………….
Create The Solution And Communicate Your Results
After your refinements have been completed and fully tested, you can decide upon and
create your finished solution. This may take the form of a polished prototype to
demonstrate to customers.
The final stage is to communicate your results. This can be in the form of a report,
presentation, display board, Instagram page or a combination of methods.
