Introducing the 'DECIDER' design process

摘要

The importance of utilizing a quality design process for engineers and students who strive to be future engineers cannot be underestimated. Engineers are faced with solving important problems every day and must follow a step-by-step design process to arrive at solutions. Students who are taught an effective design process to apply to engineering projects begin to see problems as an engineer would, consider all ideas, and arrive at the best solution. Using an effective design process is an important tool for a successful technology and engineering class where students think and act as real engineers do.
