3.1 Design
1932 - ABET design approach established for Engineers Council for Professional
Development (ECPD)
ABET process 2 other benefits:
(1) Serves as a reminder that the things you touch arent the only things that
are designedprocesses are designed as well
(2) Learn more about engineering, how it is taught, and why.

Should
(Criteria)
Commonly called
Constraints
These criteria
cannot be
budged
Valid Criteria:
easily
understandable
and measurable
Criteria must be
easily understood
as better
May be classified
legally ex:
(Regional
California fuel
CAF Standards;
National ANSI;
International
UN)
Preferences/Opt
ions: Different
groups diversify
opinion
Criteria:
-
Quantity = Quality
-
Approaches
1) While defining criteria first might constrain idea generation, generating
solutions first might cause participants to develop an opinion of a best
solution and then force their criteria choices to fit their preferred idea.
2) The most common approach to solving a problem is to find out if it has
been solved before.
Prior Art: Formal study on the way a problem has been solved before
Biomimetics: Study how problem was solved in nature

Pairwise Comparisons:
Pro: compares solutions against each other to knock another out
Con: All criteria have equal weight
Weight Benefit Analysis:
Pro: Considers weight of all Criteria
Con: More complex
2) Design Testing
3) Reevaluation

Resource Intensive
Try to reduce design options
Must test to make sure model design works
Iterative
3.7 Sustainability
Sustainability - meeting the needs of the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to do the same.
