Cup Design

1. When changing or enhancing the design it is important to consider factors such as comfort, safety, and the ability to use it to improve your life. In addition, it has to fulfill your needs.
2. It is important to document the brainstorming process because you may come up with many ideas at once and then forget them. However, by documenting them you can keep track of them and make sure your product gets rid of all of the problems you had brainstormed.It also helps to make sure your idea does not get copied and you were the first to think of it.
3. By sketching your ideas you can visualize what your final product will look like. Sketching also helps to picture the functionality of your product and it is easy to add or scratch any parts of the design.
4. Some effective techniques our group used to communicate with the others include passing our engineering notebooks around so our classmates could visualize our ideas while hearing about them.
