  1. Problem SolvingTechniques By: Varsha Tiwari P000431234

  2. Definition • A problem is a situation, faced by an individual or a group of individuals, for which there is no obvious solutions.

  3. Types of Problems • Research • Knowledge • Troubleshooting • Mathematics • Resource • Social • Design

  4. Problem Solving Approach • Identify Problem • Synthesis • Analysis • Application • Comprehension

  5. Problem Identification • First step towards solving a problem. • For Students: • This step is done for them when a professor selects homework problems. • For Engineers: • This step is often performed by a manager or creative engineer.

  6. Synthesis • A creative step in which parts are integrated together to form a whole. • Example: • Engineers may determine that they can meet the design objectives for a new car by combining a highly efficient engine with a sleek, aerodynamic body.

  7. Application • A process whereby appropriated information is identify for a problem at hand. • Example: • The engineers determine that a key question is to find the required force needed to propel the automobile at 60 mph at sea level, knowing the car has a projected frontal area of 19ft2 and a drag coefficient of 0.25.

  8. Comprehension • Proper theory and data are used to actually solve the problem • Example: • Engineers determine that the drag force F on the automobile may be calculated using the formula [Cd = drag coefficient, = air density]

  9. Summary

  10. Solution • In the real world there are no given in the back of the book. • These steps that were proposed are optional. • You are well-advised to develop a systematic problem-solving strategy that leads you to the correct answer.
