Communicate the process and results of the proposed solution, as part of a team.

Communication should include

  • the names of all team members and their roles
  • detailed documentation of each step of the engineering design process (e.g., engineering design journal)
  • the definition of the problem and goal of the project
  • solutions considered, including ideas that were rejected
  • reasons the solution and materials were chosen
  • discussion of testing and analysis
  • considerations for improvement of the design.
