Why EDD?
Why is an Open Ended Design Course So Important?
• Engineers don’t just solve problems….
They must identify and define them first.
• Many students have never seen or worked through a complete design process.
• How do you document a project involving innovation or invention?
• It is important to understand the principles and
practices that engineers use.
• It is the closest a course can come to
duplicating how professionals work.
Engineering Design and Development
• Develop life skills for postsecondary education and your career• Apply skills learned in other PLTW courses• Apply skills learned in other courses:
– Math, science, business, language arts, public speaking, etc.• Connect with the community• Take responsibility for your work as an independent learner• Choose a problem YOU want to solve!

Important Facets EDD and Open Ended Design
Find and Attempt to Solve a Real ProblemApply the Skill Sets You Have LearnedLearn How to Document an Engineering ProjectLearn Professional Skills Though Collaboration
Throughout This Course You Will:
• Do Research• Design a Prototype• Create and Test a Prototype• Evaluate and Reflect on the Process• Present the Project
• Work like a professional• Become an expert • Document everything• Maintain organization
– Engineering Notebook– Course Binder– Portfolio
• It helps to Identify a common area of interest among group members
• Follow a project schedule and honor deadlines

Keys to Success
• Let research drive decisions• Let data drive decisions• Use the language of report
Not the language of affection• Choose a topic wisely
– Physical devices often work best– Software solutions, chemical solutions, or process
solutions are often difficult to pursue• Consider alternate solution paths
– Modify an existing solution to produce better results (Innovation)– Combine design features of two or more existing solutions (Innovation)– Create a totally unique solution (Invention)
Keys to Success
Project Portfolio
Engineering Notebook
• Evidence of your thought process
• Record of your work
• Demonstration of your problem solving and communication skills
• Presentation to others

Engineering Design Processes
There are a number of design processes used in industry and at colleges or universities.
Engineering Design Processes
This is the process you will utilize.
An EngineeringDesign Process
1. Define and Justify Problem2. Generate Multiple Solutions3. Select a Solution4. Construct and Test5. Reflect and Evaluate6. Present Results
The flow chart provides an overview of the EDD Design Process
The design process is not a linear process. There may be times when you will need to adjust or redefine your problem and revisit previous steps.
Students Will:
• Perform research• Interview experts• Survey consumers• Write Specifications• Test a Concept• Create a schedule• Create sketches • Create technical
drawings• Perform a cost
estimate• Build a prototype• Test the prototype• Optimize your design• Document your work• Present your solution
How Do I Invent Something!Invention vs Innovation
The Ten Mighty Questions
Critical components to a design process are reflection and analysis. Here is a guide to decision making.
• Consider these questions.
• Return to these questions
• periodically during the course.− Provide focus− Provide direction− Provide perspective
The Ten Mighty Questions of EDD
Define Clear and Justified Problem Statement
Document All Current and Past Solutions
Solution #1Pros and
Cons
Solution #2Pros and Cons
Solution # ? Pros and
Cons
Option 1 – Improve an existing solutionOption 2 – Combine one or more solutions to increase the overall success rate Option 3 – Invent a new or unique solution
NOTE: A project can be started here as long as justification for the solution’s existence can be supported. (Reverse Engineering Justification)
How well does it work? Why is it not perfect?
10 Mighty Questions - Innovate or Invent?
Justify the merit for attempting your solution and Create a prototype of your idea
Define and Create an accurate means of testing the prototype, simulation, process, mock-up or
planEvaluate the DATA
Significant Improvement?
Little or No Difference?
Failure
Present your findings and make a judgment on what to do with the results

Where is My Syllabus?Is This On the Test?
• Your instructor is a Facilitator and Project Manager,
Not a Teacher• Your instructor will set deadlines, but you will manage you
time and dependent tasks• You will choose your project direction• There are a number of tools that can help you manage
timelines and assignments in an open ended design course.– GANTT Charts– The Rule of Thirds

A Better Crutch
“When he brought his project in and demonstrated it to the class, he showed that it could be easily adjusted for different body weights. It was well conceived, durable and functioned effectively. It was just a beautiful thing.”

“The results of our new product assessment indicated that Adam’s idea was commercially feasible,”….. “we referred Adam to the Law and Entrepreneurship Clinic at the University of Wisconsin’s School of Law in Madison for that assistance. The clinic agreed to accept Adam as a client and will help him with the next steps in the commercialization process.”
