Introduction

What is Design?

“…to create, fashion, execute, or construct according to plan” Merriam-Webster

• Find a “cost effective” solution that lies amongst

the RIGHT answers.

• Creativity to generate solutions
  • Inherent understanding of physics of problem
• Ability to see many unique viewpoints
  • Lateral thinking
• Capability to understand/analyze/model/test

viewpoints

• Majority of your formal education up to this point
• Engineer can do with $1 what a “maker” can do with $10.

Design Process

• Design: Designs establishes and defines solutions to and pertinent structures for problems not solved before, or new solution to problems which have previously been solved in a different way, to satisfy a recognized need of society.
• Is Design a Discovery?
• Is Design and Invention
• Good Design Process: Analysis + Synthesis
• Designing a System:
• System ---- Subsystem ---- Components ---- Parts
• Automobile---- Engine---- Pistons Assembly ---- Piston, Rings, Pins, etc.

Brainstorming (Organization)

• II. O RGANIZATION OF A BRAINSTORMING S ESSION :
• a) A one-page outline of information about the session should be given to panel members a few days before the session
• b) The problem to be brainstormed should be defined
• c) A moderator (not a leader) should be selected to be in charge of the session
• d) The moderator should not permit long responses that would slow down the flow of ideas
• e) Each team member should generate at least three ideas
• f) A recorder should produce the list of ideas gathered during the session for distribution among the participants

Brainstorming (Best Ideas)

• SELECT BEST IDEAS FROM THE IDEAS GENERATED DURING THE BRAINSTORMING SESSION. USE THE SELECTED IDEAS OR THE MODIFICATION AND/OR COMBINATION OF THE IDEAS
