Title: Build a model or prototype of the proposed solution.
Course: Inventions and Innovations (21099-9) > Section: Applying the Engineering Design Process

Building should include

- using detailed drawings (e.g., paper and pencil, computer-aided design)
- building a simple model
- assessing the model for possible problems
- producing your model or prototype
- testing the model or prototype

  - physical testing
  - experimenting
  - evaluating how well it meets criteria
  - evaluating appropriateness of materials
- improving the design.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is the difference between a model and a prototype?
- What is rapid prototyping?
- What information can be gained from a model or prototype?
- What does one do when the evaluation produces negative results?
- How does one select the best way to test a model or prototype?
- What CAD platforms could be used to build and improve the model?
