2. A set of orderly tasks, which allow the human being
to elaborate the products that satisfy their needs.
A) Problem Statement.
B) Search for Information.
C) Design.
D) Planning.
E) Construction.
F) Evaluation.
G) Disclosure.
4. Search for information.
Once the problem is defined, information should be sought in
all available means, such as the internet, books, asking people
around us, direct observation of similar objects, etc.
With this information you can generate ideas and clarify
concepts about the materials to be used, manufacturing
techniques and shape of the object.
5. Draw out the best individual ideas to adopt a final
design resulting from a combination of them.
Design.
6. Although it may not seem like it, this is one of the main
phases of the project method. Planning consists of
organizing the tasks in an orderly manner, indicating for
each one the persons who will carry out the tasks, the
tools and materials to be used and the steps that need
to be followed.
Planning
7. The normal thing is to first manufacture the pieces
that make up the object separately, and then
assemble them all.
Construction
8. It remains to be seen whether the manufactured object
fulfills its function. We can find two cases: that the object
works properly (we go directly to the next stage), or that the
object does not work (all the previous points will be reviewed
again to see where the failure is).
Evaluation
The failures that usually occur are:
Design mistakes. Unsuitable building materials. Badly assembled
mechanisms or parts. Problems with electrical contacts.
9. Disclosure.
If an object is made that fulfills it, the logical thing is to
spread it for the whole society to benefit. For this we make
use of the "Technical Memory" and publication in press and
specialized magazines.
