Title: Define an engineering design problem.
Course: Engineering Explorations I-(21005-36) > Section: Examining the Engineering Design Process

Definition of an engineering design problem should include

- reasons it is important to have a clear concept of a problem before attempting to solve it
- the essential components of an engineering design problem
- the nature and use of an engineering design brief (i.e., a statement that explains what the solution to an engineering design problem must accomplish).

Process/Skill Questions:

- Why is it important to have a clear definition of the problem before attempting to solve it?
- What might be the consequences of not having a clear concept of an engineering design problem before attempting to solve it?
- How can an engineering design problem be stated succinctly?
- How is an engineering design brief used in an engineering design process?
