Describe and explain the importance of the steps of a design process (e.g., analyzing the situation or context, developing design criteria, generating ideas, conducting research, communicating ideas, choosing the best solution, building a prototype, testing and modifying the prototype, undertaking a cost analysis) or other problem solving process used to solve a variety of manufacturing technology challenges (e.g., use a spreadsheet costing analyses to determine profitability in a product)
Explain why technological concepts (e.g., aesthetics, control, environmental sustainability/ stewardship, ergonomics, fabrication, function, innovation, material, mechanism, power and energy, structure, safety, systems) are important considerations in the design process
Explain the need for a detailed production plan when manufacturing a product.
Explain the differences in planning for custom build versus mass-production processes.
