Why is it important to identify the problem in the engineering design process?

• To understand the criteria (and constraints) for a solution and who might be affected (stakeholders)

• To skip unnecessary steps and come up with a solution faster

• To avoid any research

• To immediately start building prototypes

What should be considered when researching a problem?

• Only the cost of materials

• The needs of the users (stakeholders) and existing solutions

• The opinions of friends and if they will buy it

• The color of the product
