Explain the engineering design process, what it's for, how you identify the problem, know what your criteria and constraints are, and what the goal is.

Defining the Engineering Design Process (00:00 - 01:10)

• Overview of the Engineering Design Process (EDP) as a structured roadmap for problem-solving.

• Discussion on how it is used to create new products or improve existing ones.

Identifying the Problem (01:10 - 01:50)

• The importance of the first step: Defining the Problem.

• Focusing on the actual need rather than jumping straight to a solution.

Criteria and Constraints (01:50 - 02:45)

• Explaining 'Criteria' as the requirements or 'must-haves' for a successful design.

• Explaining 'Constraints' as the limitations such as budget, time, and materials.

Prototyping and Iteration (02:45 - 03:30)

• The roles of brainstorming and research in the development of a solution.

• Defining a 'Prototype' as a preliminary model for testing.

• Understanding the 'Iterative' nature of the process, where designs are tested and improved repeatedly.

The Final Goal (03:30 - 04:00)

• The ultimate objective of finding the most efficient and effective solution while staying within boundaries.

• The importance of communicating results to others.
