First go get your clickers!
 Take out a clean sheet of paper.
 Write your complete heading in the top/right corner
(First/Last name, Date, Class Period)
 Go get a copy of the classification assignment from the front
of the room
 Start as soon as the bell rings

Engineering Design Process-Prototype Testing





The 4th step in the eng. design process is testing your prototype
Often, the prototype does not work very well at first
Testing a prototype can be dangerous (see picture below)
By testing the prototype, the designers find problems to fix
They fix problems then test it again. They repeat this over &
over. (This is step 5 of the eng design process.)
Here is a picture of Orville
and Wilbur Wright testing
their prototype airplane

(Prototype Testing)

SPI 0807.T/E.1 Identify the tools and procedures needed to
test the design features of a prototype
 The procedures and tools for testing a prototype are dependent
upon the type of technology and the purpose for that technology.
 For Example: You would not test a new cell phone the same
way you would test a new jet airplane or a new football helmet.
Discuss These Questions:
A) How would you test a prototype of a new type of eyeglasses?
B) How would you test a prototype of new type of headache
medicine?
C) How would you test a prototype of new type of camping tent?

-See Bruce Wayne (A.K.A Batman)
test his cape, car, mask, and
bat-a-rang prototypes
