| Action |
Operations on carrying out the action |
| Defining activity goal |
To determine the activity type → to specify its end product (object) and its properties. |
| Identifying a physical phenomenon that is the basis of the designed object operating principle |
To designate a physical phenomenon; to define the object under study → to choose an actor → to determine conditions of their interaction → to describe an expected result of their interaction. |
| Plotting a schematic diagram of the designed object |
To enumerate all the elements of a schematic diagram → to choose legend keys for the elements → to identify how separate elements are linked → to connect all the elements in the appropriate sequence → to make sure that the plotted diagram can reproduce the designed object functioning. |
| Calculating parameters that describe essential characteristics of the designed object. |
To specify the calculation goal → to sort out parameter(s) describing operation capacity of the designed object → to describe processes that occur as a result of interaction between the object under study and the actor → to write equations describing this interaction → to solve the obtained equations relative to a required physical value → to calculate the values of the parameters that describe essential characteristics of the designed object. |
| Selecting necessary equipment (materials, devices). |
To determine materials and devices necessary to produce the object → to mark out the equipment operational factors that correspond to the calculated parameters → to determine whether this equipment can be used in the given conditions → to determine rules of the equipment operation and connection. |
| Drawing up the algorithm to produce the designed object |
To describe actions that allow to achieve the goal if done sequentially. |
