The Iterative Design Cycle
The Iterative Design Cycle is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 2: Engineering Trade-offs in Amplify Science (California) Grade 7.
Key Concepts
Perfect solutions are rarely achieved on the first attempt. Engineering relies on a process called iterative design , which involves cycling through steps: planning, building, testing, and analyzing.
Each test run in the TsunamiAlert simulation generates new performance data. Analyzing this data reveals weaknesses, such as a missed wave or a high cost. Engineers then modify the design—moving a sensor or changing a type—to improve performance in the next round.
