This diagram is an example of what step in the engineering design process?
Create a model
Plan solutions
Identify Failure points
Improve upon failure points
You try, you fail
you try, you fail
you try, you fail
It's OK if you fail as long as you keep doing this step in the engineering design process...
Think about why you failed
Quit
Improve upon failure points
Create a new problem
You begin to create a prototype of your design only to find that your solution isn't working at all. What should you do?
Add more tape
Go back to an earlier stage and choose another solution
Blame your partner
Keep going and hope it will be ok
