Design Process Steps and Objectives

This video tutorial covers the design process, a method used by engineers to solve problems. It outlines five key steps: defining a problem, planning and building a solution, testing and improving the solution, redesigning if necessary, and communicating the results. Each step is explained with examples, highlighting how engineers use this process to develop effective solutions. The tutorial emphasizes the iterative nature of the design process and the importance of communication in sharing results.
