Project Summary:

In Project Four, students are in an engineering design team that focuses on a real-world issue that a client in the community faces. Teams are required to come up with a solution that makes the client’s daily living better. To do this, teams will delve into the design space through the levels of the Engineering Design Process. First, teams will determine the design requirements (i.e., function, constraints, and objectives) through problem framing and design exploration. Next, teams will develop an initial prototype that centers on user interaction and is based on the design requirements. The design reviews will provide you with feedback to improve and iterate the prototypes. Teams will develop as well as a testing plan for the prototype. Lastly, teams will develop a final design that embodies the lessons learned from every step of the design process and will present the final proposed design.
