Design Process Quiz

What is design?

• A process used to systematically solve problems

• A tool used to compare design solutions

• Anything that was made by a conscious human effort

• A written plan that identifies a problem to be solved

What is a design process?

• A process used to systematically solve problems

• Anything that was made by a conscious human effort

• A tool used to compare design solutions

• A written plan that identifies a problem to be solved

Which of the following is an example of a design process?

• Identify problems and opportunities

• Define the problem

• Evaluate the solution

• Construct and test a prototype

What is the purpose of a design brief?

• To plan prototype testing

• To encourage thinking of all aspects of a problem before attempting a solution

• To compare design solutions against one another

• To provide technical information necessary to produce a product

What is the first step in the design process?

• Create detailed design solution

• Define the problem

• Identify the need

• Brainstorm possible solutions

What is a decision matrix used for?

• To provide technical information necessary to produce a product

• To compare design solutions against one another

• To plan prototype testing

• To encourage thinking of all aspects of a problem before attempting a solution

What are technical drawings used for?

• To provide technical information necessary to produce a product

• To compare design solutions against one another

• To plan prototype testing

• To encourage thinking of all aspects of a problem before attempting a solution

What is the purpose of prototype testing?

• To encourage thinking of all aspects of a problem before attempting a solution

• To compare design solutions against one another

• To provide technical information necessary to produce a product

• To evaluate the performance, usability, and durability of a prototype

What is the next step after evaluating the solution?

• Present the solution

• Develop a solution

• Construct and test a prototype

• Optimize/redesign the solution

What does it mean for a design process to be iterative?

• It compares design solutions against one another

• It provides technical information necessary to produce a product

• It encourages thinking of all aspects of a problem before attempting a solution

• It repeats a series of steps over and over until the desired outcome is obtained
