Design Process

The design process is....

• a systematic way to rule out group ideas

• a ranking system where a score is given for categories

• a systematic method used by engineers to solve problems

Which step of the design process includes "Brainstorming"?

• Define problem

• Generate concepts

• Build a prototype

When you build your prototype it is really important to do this...

• Rebuild it

• Test it many times

• Present it

When do we usually create a Decision Matrix?

• After we have brain stormed and generated concepts

• After we have built and tested our design

• After we have evaluated a solution

When designing a solution you should also create this:

• A built selected model

• An assessment of your model

• A technical/detailed drawing

Presenting your solution is like:

• Looking for flaws

• Pitching your sales idea

• Brainstorming

Asking things like "What is the issue we need to solve?", or "What are my criteria/constraints?"...would be which step?

• Design a solution

• Generate Concepts

• Define Problem

When I look for and collect data for FLAWS in my design, and compare our build to the criteria/constraints, I am at this step:

• Design a solution

• Build/Test prototype

• Evaluate solution

Using one of these will help your group decide on which model to build:

• Design Brief

• Design Evaluator

• Decision Matrix

We usually draw a rough sketch during this step:

• Generate Concepts

• Build/Test Prototype

• Evaluate Solution
