What is the first step of the design process

• Generate concepts

• Build and test

• Define problem

• Design solution

During this step, designers create a detailed design using technical drawings, charts, and models. The detailed designs provide the technical details necessary to produce a precise solution.

Which process is this in the design process?

• Generate concepts

• Define problem

• Evaluate solution

• Design a solution

• Build and test
