<p> Microcomputer Engineering Design Process Worksheet Name ______Date ______</p><p>Identify the underlying need fully and abstractly (without implying a solution). Idea Statement: 1. Needs  Analysis Identify properties the design solution must have. Requirements: </p><p>Identify risks posed to human health and/or the environment by exposure to hazards. Environmental  Risks:</p><p>Think up ideas for design solutions, even silly ones. Consider many viewpoints. Brainstorm 2. (a)> Ideas: Conceptual (b)> Design (c)> (d)> </p><p>Identify the components needed for the design. (Add to this bulleted list) 3. Select  Preliminary Conceptual Components: Design</p><p>Make a Preliminary Design Drawing on a separate sheet.</p><p>Reduce impacts on the environment resulting from human activities in the design. Environmental  Impact:</p><p>Specify materials and parts 4. Detailed Parts List  Design   On separate  sheets:  Interaction  Design Physical  Design Electrical Design Software Design 5. Build Working Prototype 6. Potential Specify considerations for the manufacture and distribution of the product. Manufacturi Manufacturing,  ng and Marketing & Sales Distribution</p><p>7. Specify considerations for the actual use and maintenance of the product. Reflection: Improvements  Brainstorm User Feedback improveme Cost Reduction nts Reduce undesirable impacts on the environment (on-going). Environmental  Mitigation:</p><p>Reduce injuries and illnesses (on-going). Health & Safety: </p><p>8. Specify considerations for the deactivation of the product and its disposal.
