Present the product or system as a team.
Presentation should use documentation and explanations from each team member about their role in the process and include the following elements:
- explaining the technological problem solved by the model
- identifying the process used for selecting the best solution among alternatives
- citing relevant resources used to research the solution
- explaining the design for the selected solution
- demonstrating the prototype
- highlighting the benefits and trade-offs of the prototype
- soliciting questions and suggested improvements from the audience
- validating selection with data
- completing the presentation within the allotted time.
Process/Skill Questions:
- Why is it important to explain both the part you played on a team and why you played that part?
- How would you explain the trade-offs made to optimize the design?
- Why is clear documentation necessary for an engineering design team?
- How will you prepare for possible questions about your design?
