• Make Models and Prototypes Constructing a model of a product is an important step in the design process. A model is a representation of the final product, often on a smaller scale and using cheaper materials. Its purpose is to show what the final product will look like and give people an idea of how it will be constructed. A prototype is a working representation of something, designed to test a product’s function and detect any problems. In addition to showing how a product will look, it may include software or mechanical features to test the product’s functionality. • Communicate and Evaluate Results It is important that designers and engineers document their work as they progress through the design process. They should include problems encountered along the way and the steps taken to solve them. This information will be shared with people who will repeat the tests, offer further advice on how to improve it, and those involved in the manufacture or distribution of the product. There are different ways for designers and engineers to present their work. Depending on the solution they are working on, they may need to list materials, the tools needed to manufacture parts, and d...
