After completing your first design brief, what are two things you learned engineers must considered before beginning any project? What was your favorite part of your design brief experience?2. What constructive feedback did you receive from your teacher and students during your presentation? 3. What constructive feedback did you give to other groups?4. If you were to improve your project, what would be two things you would do differently next time?1A. Two things that engineers must consider in my design brief is first, defining the problem. Defining the problem is vital for understanding the design brief. I need to take notes about the details of the problem so I can understand the other problems ahead of time. Defining the problem also gets me easily prepared and ready to construct a diagram (e.g. prototype) of the actual model. The second thing to consider is the designing the prototype. The prototype is also very important because the client has a problem that I need to fix. The prototype will be gathered by all my ideas and will be grouped into one big idea for the model. My favorite part of this design brief is designing the model. Designing the model is my most favorite part of this design brief because I can get creative and build something that from my imagination.2A. We had to consider the cost and weight of the models.3A. I gave information of the problem our client has and the research of the ice and packaging we use to construct a solution.4A. I would give better detail about the dimensions of the packaging we used and bring more materials to make the prototype more understandable for our viewers.
