3. Ask a Question
Do Background Research
Construct a Hypothesis
Test with an Experiment
Procedure Working
No Si
Analyze Data and Draw
Conclusions
Troubleshoot
procedure. Carefully
check all steps and set‐
up
Result align with hypothesis
Analyze Data and Draw
Conclusions
Comunicate results
Experimental data
becomes
background
research for
new/future
Project. Ask new
question, form
new hypothesis,
experiment again.
Steps of the Scientific Method
5. Define the problem
Do Background Research
Specify Requeriments
Brainstorm, Evaluate and Choose
Solution
Develop and prototype solution
Test solution
Solution needs
requeriments
Solution needs requeriments
partially or not at all
Comunicate results
Based on results
and data, make
design changes,
prototype, test
again, and review
new data..
The Engineering Design Process
Engineering Method
The steps of the engineering
design process are to:
• Define the Problem
• Do Background Research
• Specify Requeriments
• Brainstorm Solutions
• Do Developments Work
• Build a Prototype
• Test and Redesign
