Engineering Design Process
1) State the problem (Why did you need this item?)
2) Generate possible solutions (How have others solved the problem? What other alternatives or designs were considered?
3) Select a solution (How does your solution compare on the basis of cost, availability, and functionality?)
4) Build the item (What was your woodworking plan, and what processes did you use to build your item?)
5) Evaluate (How does your item solve the original need?)
6) Present results (How would you do this better next time?)
