1. Engineering DesignCentral Concepts: Engineering design involves practical problem solving, research, development, and invention/innovation, and requires designing, drawing, building, testing, and redesigning. Students should demonstrate the ability to use the engineering design process to solve a problem or meet a challenge.

Ma.Science and Engineering Framework 2006

1.1 Identify and explain the steps of the engineering design process: identify the problem, research the problem, develop possible solutions, select the best possible solution(s), construct prototypes and/or models, test and evaluate, communicate the solutions, and redesign.

Identify the problem in need of a solution.

You shall create an office chair in a professional setting.


Research the problem

Before I had started I had gone online and looked up some office chairs. Each gave an idea as to what I was going to create.



Develop solutions

Brainstorm

After deciding what the relative design would be I had to think of what kind of space the chair would fit such as a home office or a cubicle.

Select the best Possible solution(s)

I had decided that a stationary chair with spinning seat And adjustable height would be the base on which I Would build my chair. I also wanted to put it in an office Setting with a desk, desk lamp, a small clock and Computer.


Construct a prototype

I stated with the base of the chair and worked my way up.As I continued my design I tinkered and tweaked different Parts of the chair.


Test and Evaluatethe solution(s)

After I completed the first design I went on to create a back round that would give my chair the look of an office chair that was comfortable and efficient in its purpose.


Communicate the solution(s)

The problem given to me was to design a chair and a setting For where it would be used. I started by researching differentDesigns for my chair. I wanted one that looked comfortableAnd would keep someone focused on their work rather thanPlaying with their chair. After coming up with a few designs For the base of my chair I chose a chair that would not beAble to move on wheels. I then started work on the shaft thatWould allow the chair move up and down. I then built the chairAnd its arms.


Communicate the solution(s)Part two

After completing the chair I had to decide what materials theChair would be made out of. I decided that vinyl cushionswould be the most economic material to make my chair. The Based and shaft of my chair would be made out of chrome With different shines. The base would have a lower shine Than the shaft because it is always being stepped on and That would ruin the appearance with shoe prints all over theBase.


Communicate the solution(s)Part three


Redesign

After putting in the environment the chair would be foundIn I adjusted it to fit in with the size of the desk and otherobjects found in the design.
