  1. Intro to Engineering Design 1.7 Explaining a design and creating an Elevator Pitch

  2. Learning Objectives • You will act as an engineer and provide an explanation and evaluation of a product that you have hypothetically designed. • When finished you will have developed an essay describing your product as well as an elevator pitch to promote it.

  3. Procedure • Assume that you are an engineer that has developed a preliminary design for an important problem. • Write and present an explanation and evaluation of your design.  • Choose one of the designs represented in the four images presented by your instructor as YOUR design.

  4. Designs

  5. Think about the object in the image and the problem that it may solve. • Answer the following questions. • What is it? • What problem does it solve? • What criteria were used to guide the design? • What are the most important features of the design? What features allow it to perform its intended purpose? • How does your product affect society and the environment?

  6. In Pairs Discuss, Individually Create • Outline a six paragraph essay that explains your design and answers the questions above. • A six paragraph essay includes an introductory paragraph, a conclusion paragraph, three paragraphs in the body, and one paragraph that is ‘about you’. • Use the format below to outline your essay. You must use at least one of the terms, inventionor innovation, within your essay to describe your design.

  7. The thesis statement should identify the object or design and describe the problem that the design solves, that is, the purpose of the design.

Using the outline you have created, write a five paragraph essay that explains your design, the problem it solves, and its most important features. Add a paragraph entitled About the Authorto the end of your essay. In this additional paragraph, describe your discipline of engineering and how knowledge from that discipline helped you create your design and solve the problem.

  8. Look over the Elevator Pitch Rubric detailed in the next two slides. Elevator Pitch • Present a one minute “elevator pitch” to your class describing your design, the problem it solves, and its most important features. • An elevator pitch is an expression describing a short presentation with the goal to communicate major ideas and generate interest in your subject. • The length of the presentation should short enough to be completed in a typical elevator ride. • You will need to include a visual aid in your presentation. PowerPoint is one option.

  9. Teams • You will work with a partner to help generate ideas. • Each individual will write their own five paragraph essay. • Each individual will present a one-minute elevator pitch about their product. • You have the rest of the period today and Friday to work on this project. • We will hear elevator pitches starting Monday.
