About Product Design and Analysis

GoConqr Original

What this page covers

This page is a collection of design work made by GoConqr users. Most of it is mind maps, and many show a product being analyzed step by step. You will find maps on a garden set, a golf buggy, a clock, sustainable desk lamps, a chocolate bar and a pizza cutter. Others cover the process itself, such as the design brief, concept generation and techniques for product development.

Where to start

Begin with the process maps. The mind map task analysis asks questions about cost, function, environment, user and quality. The mind map Design Brief shows how a project is framed. Then read the Product Design map, which explains CAD and CAM, and the Product design map on computer numerical control, with examples such as CNC lathes and milling machines.

Worked examples

Once you know the process, see how others applied it. The Task analysis of fast food packaging (pizza box) map looks at corrugated card, grease, warmth and environmental impact. The Golf Buggy map sets a budget and compares materials such as mild steel, aluminium, plastic and rubber. Compare these with the clock and garden maps to see how the same questions give different answers.

Using quizzes, flashcards and maps together

Read a map and note the key terms.
Test yourself with the flashcard deck Product Design, which asks you to define an adhesive, an alloy and anthropometrics.
Move on to Product Design Exam 2 for product architecture, including modular and integrated types.
Take a quiz, such as the one on failure modes and effect analysis, and go back to any map where you lost points.

The page lists a small set of quizzes and flashcard decks, so the maps do most of the work. Teachers can use the worked examples as ready-made material for a design project.

Where it fits

This unit sits in the strand Design and Problem Solving, within Engineering and technology (general or other). The resources mention GCSE Design and Technology, GCSE Product Design and A-level Design and Technology.

Pick one product map, then make your own version for a product you know.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the mind map called task analysis. It sets out questions about cost, function, environment, user and quality that you can apply to any product. After that, the Design Brief map shows how a project begins, and the pizza box and golf buggy maps show the questions answered for real products.

What do the mind maps cover?

Most of the page is mind maps, and many are worked product examples: lamps, storage units, a clock, a garden set, packaging and a pizza cutter. Others cover process topics such as concept generation, areas of investigation, CAD and CAM, and computer numerical control.

Are there quizzes and flashcards?

Yes, but only a small set. The quizzes include one on design for failure, safety, tolerances and environment, which touches failure modes and effect analysis. The flashcard decks include Product Design, Product Design Exam 2 and Scales of Production. Use them after reading a few maps to check what you remember.

Are these resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr. If you want to save quiz scores or make your own quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes, you can add a free account.

Which exams do these resources suit?

Some of the resources mention GCSE Design and Technology, GCSE Product Design and A-level Design and Technology. Most of the page suits school students, and teachers can use the worked examples as ready-made material. Check each resource against your own course before relying on it.

What if I can't find the topic I need?

Browse the other mind maps, since many cover related ideas such as materials, cost, ergonomics and sustainability. If a topic is still missing, build your own map or flashcards for it. Making your own is a good way to learn the topic.
