Lesson 3.3 Design Problem - Control Systems

|Lesson 3.3 Design Problem-Control Systems |
Concepts
1. Design problems can be solved by individuals or in teams.
2. Engineers use a design process to create solutions to existing problems.
3. Design briefs are used to identify the problem specifications and to establish project constraints.
4. Teamwork requires constant communication to achieve the desired goal.
5. Design teams conduct research to develop their knowledge base, stimulate creative ideas, and make informed decisions.
Performance Objectives
It is expected that students will:
• Brainstorm and sketch possible solutions to an existing design problem.
• Create a decision-making matrix for their design problem.
• Select an approach that meets or satisfies the constraints provided in a design brief.
• Create a detailed pictorial sketch or use 3D modeling software to document the best choice, based upon the design team’s decision matrix.
• Present a workable solution to the design problem.
Essential Questions
1. What is a design brief and what are design constraints?
6. Why is a design process so important to follow when creating a solution to a problem?
7. What is a decision matrix and why is it used?
8. What does consensus mean, and how do teams use consensus to make decisions?
9. How does the use of mechanisms affect the overall solution to a design problem?
Key Terms
|Accuracy |1. The condition or quality of being true, correct, or exact; precision; exactness. |
|Assembly |A group of machined or handmade parts that fit together to form a self-contained unit. |
|Brainstorming |A group technique for solving problems, generating ideas, stimulating creative thinking, etc., by |
| |unrestrained spontaneous participation in discussion. |
|Component |A part or element of a larger whole. |
|Consensus |A general agreement. |
|Constraint |1. A limit to a design process. Constraints may be such things as appearance, funding, space, materials, |
| |and human capabilities. |
|Decision Matrix |A tool for systematically ranking alternatives according to a set of criteria. |
|Design Brief |A written plan that identifies a problem to be solved, its criteria, and its constraints. The design brief |
| |is used to encourage thinking of all aspects of a problem before attempting a solution. |
|Design Modification |A major or minor change in the design of an item, effected in order to correct a deficiency, to facilitate |
| |production, or to improve operational effectiveness. |
|Design Process |A systematic problem-solving strategy, with criteria and constraints, used to develop many possible |
| |solutions to solve a problem or satisfy human needs and wants and to winnow (narrow) down the possible |
| |solutions to one final choice. |
|Design Statement |A part of a design brief that challenges the designer, describes what a design solution should do without |
| |describing how to solve the problem, and identifies the degree to which the solution must be executed. |
|Designer |A person who designs any of a variety of things. This usually implies the task of creating drawings or in |
| |some way using visual cues to organize work. |
|Open-Ended |Not having fixed limits; unrestricted; broad. |
|Pictorial Sketch |A sketch that shows an object’s height, width, and depth in a single view. |
|Problem Statement |A part of a design brief that clearly and concisely identifies a client’s or target consumer’s problem, |
| |need, or want. |
|Purpose |The reason for which something is done or for which something exists. |
|Sketch |A rough drawing representing the main features of an object or scene and often made as a preliminary study.|
|Solid Modeling |A type of 3D CAD modeling that represents the volume of an object, not just its lines and surfaces. This |
| |allows for analysis of the object’s mass properties. |
|Target Consumer |A person or group for which product or service design efforts are intended. |
|Team |A collection of individuals, each with his or her own expertise, brought together to benefit a common goal.|
