Clearly state what needs to be solved. This means identifying the challenge, the need, or the opportunity that the design will address. The step described above is called ________.
Define the Problem
Brainstorm Solutions
Test the Prototype
Communicate Results
Generate as many ideas as possible without judgment. Think creatively and explore different solutions. The step described above is called ________.
Brainstorm
Evaluation
Implementation
Summarization
Gather information about the problem, existing solutions, materials, technologies, and user needs. The step described above is called ________.
Research
Testing
Prototyping
Implementation
List the requirements the design must meet (criteria) and the limits it must work within, such as cost, size, safety, or available resources (constraints). The step described above is called ________.
Identify Criteria & Constraints
Develop Solutions
Test and Evaluate
Communicate Results
Examine the brainstormed ideas and research findings. Compare options and think about which ideas are realistic, effective, and innovative. The step described above is called ________.
Explore Possibilities
Define the Problem
Implement the Solution
Gather Feedback
Choose the best possible solution based on research, criteria, and constraints. Justify why this option is the strongest. The step described above is called ________.
Select an Approach
Define the Problem
Test the Solution
Brainstorm Solutions
Create a detailed plan that explains how the solution will be built and how it will work. This may include sketches, drawings, calculations, and written descriptions. The step described above is called ________.
Develop a Design Proposal
Brainstorm Solutions
Test the Prototype
Identify the Problem
Build a representation of the design. This could be a digital model, a small-scale version, or a working prototype. The step described above is called ________.
Model or Prototype
Analysis
Brainstorming
Testing
Try out the prototype to see how well it meets the criteria and constraints. Record data and observations. The step described above is called ________.
Test & Evaluate
Brainstorming
Research & Develop
Communicate Results
Make improvements based on test results and feedback. Adjust the design to fix problems or make it perform better. The step described above is called ________.
