Step #3 Develop Solution (Engineering Design Process). This week we will be narrowing down the multiple designs/concepts that you created last week. Please read below for this week’s assignment.
Read: Attached on Google Classroom is the PLTW Design Process PowerPoint. Please Reference slides 1-9 and Read 17-19
Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQoZkChetJY
Do: Create a 2-3 page Google Slide or PowerPoint describing which concept you’ve chosen as a solution to your “problem” including CAD/hand sketched technical drawings.
Explain why you’ve chosen this solution using a Decision Matrix (chart). Some things to include in the Decision Matrix (chart) are manufacturability, cost, aesthetics, ease of use, functionality, etc.
Please refer to the video above or Slide 15 in the PLTW Design Process PowerPoint for a brief explanation of the Decision Matrix (fast forward to 2:00 – 2:25).
Assess: Google Slide or PowerPoint will be assessment.
