The document outlines the steps of the engineering design process which includes identifying needs or problems, researching potential solutions, developing possible solutions, selecting the best solution, constructing prototypes, testing and evolving the design, communicating the solution, and redesigning if needed. Some key steps involve examining current solutions to the problem, brainstorming ideas, creating tests for prototypes, and documenting results for manufacturing. The overall process is meant to develop consistent, high quality and safe engineered products and systems.
