Title: Optimize a prototype of the best solution.
Course: Technology and Engineering Foundations (21003-36) > Section: Practicing Technology and Engineering Design

Optimization may include

- experimenting with elements of the solution
- revisiting experiments
- constructing the prototype
  - creating a working drawing
  - developing a fabrication process with measurable steps in the process
  - creating a bill of materials
  - incorporating computer and power systems
  - developing a process to complete the production.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are the safety considerations for constructing the model?
- What is the purpose of a prototype?
- How does one determine the logical sequence involved in building a prototype?
- Why is a working drawing important before starting work on the prototype?
