10 Steps of Engineering Design Process

The engineering design process is a methodical series of steps that engineers use in creating functional products and processes. The process is highly iterative - parts of the process often need to be repeated many times before another can be entered - though the part(s) that get iterated and the number of such cycles in any given project may vary.
It is a decision-making process (often iterative) in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet a stated objective.

10 Steps of Engineering Design Process are :
1) Identifying the problem.
2) Defining Working Criteria and Goals.
3) Researching and Gathering Data.
4) Brainstorming and Generating Creative Ideas.
5) Analyzing Potential Solutions.
6) Developing and Testing Models
7) Making the Decision.
8) Communicating and Specifying.
9) Implementing and Commercializing.
10) Post-Implementation Review and Assessment.

Note :
I have copied the written material (of the PPT) from http://www.asfa.k12.al.us/ourpages/auto/2014/8/25/41576897/Engineering%20Design%20Process%20-%2010%20stages%20-%20PRESENT%20THIS.pdf and then just made it looked more beautiful, for my presentation in college.

1. ENGINEERING DESIGN PROCESS
It is a series of steps that engineers follow for
creating functional products and processes.
It is a highly iterative process.
It is a decision making process in which the basic
sciences, mathematics ,and engineering sciences are
applied to convert resources optimally to meet a
stated objective.

2. 1. INDENTIFYTHE PROBLEM
Engineers are Problem Solvers.
Understand the scope and the nature of the
problem
Identify the correct issues and background of
the problem

3. 2. DEFINE WORKING CRITERIA AND GOALS
Establish preliminary goals
Develop working criteria to compare possible
solutions
Specifications
Constraints

4. 3. RESEARCHAND GATHER DATA
Stay consistent with working criteria while
researching
Use resources to help research including:
Internet, Library, newspaper, etc.
Keep info found through all steps of the design
process and add to it

5. 4. BRAINSTORMAND GENERATECREATIVE IDEAS
Develop as many creative ideas as possible
No idea is a bad idea
Document all ideas
Combine ideas to create new ideas
Do not evaluate
If time permitted, hold a second session to give
people time to consider additional options
Goal: Long list of ideas!

6. 5. ANALYZEPOTENTIAL SOLUTIONS
Eliminate duplicate ideas
Clarify ideas
Select ideas to analyse in more detail
Qualitative analysis
Quantitative analysis
Democratic analysis

7. 6. DEVELOPANDTEST MODELS
Develop models for the selected solutions
Types of models: descriptive, functional,
mathematical, computer, and scale.
Test each model against working criteria and
goals
Test for functionality and performance

8. 7. MAKE THEDECISION
Evaluate the results of testing to determine the
solution to use
If none of the solutions are ideal, return to
stage 4 or 5
Once a solution is selected, continue to stage 8

9. 8. COMMUNICATEANDSPECIFY
Document the design’s specifications and
measurements and communicate to all groups
Communication between groups is especially
important in this stage
Meetings
Presentations
Reports
Drawings

10. 9. IMPLEMENT&COMMERCIALIZE
Final design revisions
All groups should agree on the proposed
project, including: Management, Technical,
Business, and legal support representatives
Production

11. 10. POST-IMPLEMENTATION REVIEW AND
ASSESSMENT
Review the product’s performance
Assess the product’s strength and weaknesses
and document
Make suggestions for future improvements
