Video Learning Notes

In this lesson, students learn to analyze test data from multiple design solutions to identify similarities and differences. They use this analysis to select the best characteristics from each design and combine them into a new, improved solution that better meets the criteria for success. This process reflects the iterative nature of engineering design, where testing, analysis, and refinement lead to optimized solutions.

Learning Goals

• Analyze test data from several design solutions to identify similarities and differences.
• Determine the best characteristics of each design solution based on test data.
• Combine the best characteristics from multiple designs to create a new, improved solution.
• Explain how the new design better meets the criteria for success compared to previous designs.
