The design process generally begins with THIS STEP— there is some need to be met or some want to be fulfilled, and the designer must understand exactly what it is and what the specific criterion and constraints there are to solving the problem.

• Generate Ideas

• Define the Problem

• Make the item

• Select the Solution

This step of the TDM involves considering the original criteria and ideas,

along with various constraints, one design — or,

in some cases, more than one — and choosing the most promising to make. Generate alternatives and consider limitations.
