Why??
The Design Process ensures that the idea is feasible, reduces the cost of the project, and makes the best use of the time used by the project.

Identify the Problem
What is to be accomplished? Is this necessary? If so, why? Is the idea feasible using current
resources?
![Page 6: Identify the Problem Identify Criteria And Constraints Brainstorm Solutions Generate Ideas Explore Possibilities Select an Approach Prototype Refine Design](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d955503460f94a7d46d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Identify the Problem: Application Rube Goldberg machines have multiple
steps in order to reach a singular goal.What is the ultimate goal?How will the steps advance the machine?What forces are required to reach the goal?
![Page 7: Identify the Problem Identify Criteria And Constraints Brainstorm Solutions Generate Ideas Explore Possibilities Select an Approach Prototype Refine Design](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d955503460f94a7d46d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Identify Criteria and Constraints
Are there any special requirements that the project must meet?
Some projects have identified criteria. Pay close attention to the information you are given!!SizeCostMaterial list
![Page 8: Identify the Problem Identify Criteria And Constraints Brainstorm Solutions Generate Ideas Explore Possibilities Select an Approach Prototype Refine Design](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d955503460f94a7d46d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Identify Criteria and Constraints: Application Read and analyze the project handout.
Note:Size limitIntervention limitStep countStep criteria
Return to this step continuously in order to give development of the project direction.
![Page 9: Identify the Problem Identify Criteria And Constraints Brainstorm Solutions Generate Ideas Explore Possibilities Select an Approach Prototype Refine Design](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d955503460f94a7d46d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Brainstorm Solutions Write down ideas that could be
implemented to achieve desired result. Lists, webs, and diagrams are all great methods to brainstorm.
Once the possible solutions have been put to paper, go through and eliminate those that are not feasible or do not fit into the applicable criteria.
Do not erase these, however, as they may provide new ideas for problems later on.
![Page 10: Identify the Problem Identify Criteria And Constraints Brainstorm Solutions Generate Ideas Explore Possibilities Select an Approach Prototype Refine Design](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d955503460f94a7d46d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Brainstorm Solutions: Application What does the machine need to
accomplish?What motion is involved?How much force is required?
Use equal parts prior knowledge and research to accomplish this step.
![Page 11: Identify the Problem Identify Criteria And Constraints Brainstorm Solutions Generate Ideas Explore Possibilities Select an Approach Prototype Refine Design](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d955503460f94a7d46d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Generate Ideas
Ideas are built on the possible solutions made in the previous step.
Ideas should be slightly more developed and detailed. These can always be changed or improved on later.
Ideas should be buildable and testable.
![Page 12: Identify the Problem Identify Criteria And Constraints Brainstorm Solutions Generate Ideas Explore Possibilities Select an Approach Prototype Refine Design](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d955503460f94a7d46d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Generate Ideas: Application Build a list of steps the machine will run
through.These should be plausible to buildWhen possible, sketch the ideas to give
form to the steps
![Page 13: Identify the Problem Identify Criteria And Constraints Brainstorm Solutions Generate Ideas Explore Possibilities Select an Approach Prototype Refine Design](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d955503460f94a7d46d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Explore Possibilities
Research, Research, Research!Have the ideas generated been done
before?If so, what were some problems
encountered? Begin to elaborate and eliminate ideas.
Are any ideas outside the criteria? Do the ideas have sufficient detail to be
built accurately?
![Page 14: Identify the Problem Identify Criteria And Constraints Brainstorm Solutions Generate Ideas Explore Possibilities Select an Approach Prototype Refine Design](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d955503460f94a7d46d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Explore Possibilities: Application
Search for previous Rube Goldberg projects.Have your ideas been implemented in other
machines?Can any ideas be adapted for use in your
machine?
Remember: Copying steps is plagiarism!! Cite your sources!!
![Page 15: Identify the Problem Identify Criteria And Constraints Brainstorm Solutions Generate Ideas Explore Possibilities Select an Approach Prototype Refine Design](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d955503460f94a7d46d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Select an Approach
Choose ONE idea to begin developing.This should be plausible and testable
Write a procedure for prototyping. This will be crucial in the next step.
![Page 16: Identify the Problem Identify Criteria And Constraints Brainstorm Solutions Generate Ideas Explore Possibilities Select an Approach Prototype Refine Design](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d955503460f94a7d46d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Select an Approach: Application
Detail one step in the machine.What materials should be used?What forces will be exerted on the parts?How will the parts be fabricated?
Note: This step and the next step will be used again and again for each step of the machine. Be sure to look over the other steps from time to time as well.
![Page 17: Identify the Problem Identify Criteria And Constraints Brainstorm Solutions Generate Ideas Explore Possibilities Select an Approach Prototype Refine Design](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d955503460f94a7d46d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Prototype
Build the ideaMeasure twice, cut onceAdhere to ALL safety regulations (Don’t
forget eye protection!)If you don’t know how to use it, don’t.
![Page 18: Identify the Problem Identify Criteria And Constraints Brainstorm Solutions Generate Ideas Explore Possibilities Select an Approach Prototype Refine Design](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d955503460f94a7d46d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Prototype: Application
Gather materials and begin assembly.Do any materials require special tools or
processes? Return to this step every time you select
a new approach.
![Page 19: Identify the Problem Identify Criteria And Constraints Brainstorm Solutions Generate Ideas Explore Possibilities Select an Approach Prototype Refine Design](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d955503460f94a7d46d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Refine Design
Did the prototype work?If so, are there any improvements that can be
made to enhance performance?If not, identify the problem and find a solution.If the idea fails completely, is there another
way to get the desired results? This step generally reflects the time and
effort put into the other steps. More time spent in planning = less time revising the design.
![Page 20: Identify the Problem Identify Criteria And Constraints Brainstorm Solutions Generate Ideas Explore Possibilities Select an Approach Prototype Refine Design](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d955503460f94a7d46d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Refine Design: Application Did the step successfully trigger the next
step or accomplish the goal? Can the step be streamlined to operate
faster, smoother, or better? Can cheaper or more readily available
materials be used?
![Page 21: Identify the Problem Identify Criteria And Constraints Brainstorm Solutions Generate Ideas Explore Possibilities Select an Approach Prototype Refine Design](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062715/56649d955503460f94a7d46d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Things to Remember
The design process is iterative. Most engineers spend years checking and rechecking their design before it ever sees production.
The more time spent in design, the better the overall project will be.
Keep checking the criteria. Remember what the original problem is.
Its easy to get sidetracked.
