The design process is....
a systematic way to rule out group ideas
a ranking system where a score is given for categories
a systematic method used by designers and engineers to solve problems
Which step of the design process includes "Brainstorming"?
Research and Define
Generate and design
Produce and implement
Criteria
Are limitations. framed as part of the problem; thing like money, time, size.
Are the goals or outcomes for a successful solution. Criteria should be determined before developing possible solutions.
A systematic problem-solving strategy that designers follow to come up with a solution to a problem.
When you build your prototype it is really important to do this...
Rebuild it
Test it many times
Present it
Asking things like "What is the issue we need to solve?", or "What are my criteria/constraints?"...would be which step?
Evaluate
Generate and Design
Investigate and Define
We usually draw a rough sketch during this step:
Generate and Design
Produce and Implement
Evaluate
What do we call limitations like "time, cost and/or materials" within a challenge?
Complications
Constraints
Criteria
Why is it important to define your problem and your design requirements before coming up with a solution?
A problem statement identifies the gap between the current problem, and the desired goal, of a process or product.
The solution is the answer to a problem.
Are the goals or outcomes for a successful solution. Criteria should be determined before developing possible solutions.
Often times creating a Design Brief takes place during this step:
Generate and Design
Produce and Implement
Investigate and Define
Questions to answer when evaluating a solution. Pick 3
Did you evaluate your solution to make sure it meets the constraints and design criteria
How did you test your solution?
How can your solution be improved in future iterations?
Were there additional questions you should have asked?
Which step of the design process would you determine if the product solved the problem?
Investigate and Define
Generate and Design
Produce and implement
Evaluate
