Tennessee SPI Objective:

Evaluate a protocol to determine if the engineering

design process was successfully applied.

Notes Science

Check for Understanding

Apply the engineering design process to construct a

prototype that meets given specifications.

Essential Question(s)

Describe all the steps of the process by which

technology products are designed, built, tested, and

produced.

Engineering Design Process (EDP)

➢ …is different from the scientific method, but uses the same tools

➢ EDP is used to develop technology products and/or solutions.

Engineering Design Process (EDP)

(Step 5A)

Produce/Use/Sell the product

(Step 2A)

Pick the best design

(Step 1A)

Do research about this technology

STEP 1:

Identify a Need

STEP 3:

Make A Prototype

STEP 2:

Develop Possible Solutions

STEP 4:

Test and Evaluate

STEP 5:

Modify and Retest

Engineering Design Process

Was it a "life or death" need?

What need did this technology address?

What are some other ways they could have

addressed the need for communication?

What materials did they use when

constructing these early phones?

EDP in the Movies

-From the movie “Ironman”

Billionaire genius and weapons designer Tony Stark is captured by terrorists, and they want him to build a super-weapon.Instead he builds an armored exoskeleton to fight them.

1st Prototype

Mark 1 Version

3rd Prototype

Mark 3 Version

Prototypes are often called mark versions

3rd Prototype

Mark 3 Version

2nd Prototype

Mark 2 Version

1st Prototype

Mark 1 Version

Step 1: Identify a need

➢ Why did Tony Stark build the "Iron Man" suit?

Step 1A: Do Research about the technology

➢ Did Tony do any research first?

Step 2: Develop Possible Solutions

➢ What are some other options he could have built instead?

Step 2A: Pick the best design

➢ Do you think the "Iron Man" suit was the best design?

Step 3: Make a prototype

➢ Where and how did Tony build his prototype(s)

Step 4: Test the prototype

➢ Where and how did Tony test his prototype(s)

Step 5: Modify and re-test the prototype

➢ How did Tony modify his prototype to make it work better?

Step 5A: Use and/or sell the product

➢ Did he use or sell his Iron Man armor?

SPI 0807.T/E.2

Engineering Design Process

How did he use it?

EDP in the Movies

-From the “Ironman” movies

➢ With his mark-1 prototype, Tony realized that he needed to

design a way to don his armor more quickly.

Video Link (28 sec): Mark-5 Suitcase Armor

Video Link (51 sec): Mark-3 Suit Up Procedure

➢ He improved the process with his mark-3 prototype.

➢ He later designed a mark-5 “suitcase” prototype.

Step 5: Modify and re-test the prototype

Exit Ticket

Make a tiny ticket and number from 1-4. You do not

need to skip any lines.

• Remember – Fold a sheet of paper into 4 equal

parts and rip it along the crease. You should only

need one sheet of paper per table. Do NOT rip a

tiny corner off your paper.

• Put your name, date, and class period on the top

right of the sheet.
