Engineering Problem Solving
Engineering often involves applying a consistent, structured approach to the solving of problems. A general problem-solving approach and method can be defined, although variations will be required forspecific problems. Problems must be approached methodically, applyinga nalgorithm, or step-by-step procedure by which one arrives at a solution.
Problem Solving Process
The problem solving process for a computational problem can be outlined as follows:
1. Define the problem.
2. Create a mathematical model.
3.Develop a computational method for solving theproblem.
4.Implement the computational method.
5.Test and assess the solution.
The boundaries between these steps can be blurred and for specific problems one or two of the steps may be more important than others. Nonetheless, having this approach and strategy in mind will help to focus our efforts as we solve problems
