Innovation
Design thinking can be an effective approach for designing and prototyping new
mechanical projects. By combining empathy and creativity, we can develop
innovative solutions to real-world problems.
Problem Statement
Every successful mechanical project starts with identifying the problem. We'll explore how to define the problem space

Empathy Map and User Needs
Empathy is a key element of design thinking, and the empathy map is a useful tool for putting yourself in the shoes of
your users.

Prototype Development and Testing
Prototyping is the process of building a working model or mockup of your project. Testing helps you to identify and
correct any issues before you move on to the final product.
