conclusions.
1. Define Problem: Identify a problem,validate the problem. Identify who says it is a
problem. Research needs and wants, prior solutions. Justify the problem. Decide if the
problem is worth solving? Create design requirements, specifications, criteria and
constraints
2. Generate Concepts: Research, brainstorm possible solutions, consider additional
design goals, select an approach.
3. Develop a Solution: Create a detailed design solution. Justify the solution path.
What are the Design Process procedures? Develop technical drawings.
4. Construct and Test Prototype: Construct a testable prototype. Plan prototype testing
of: performance, usability, and durability. Test prototype. Collect and analyze test data.
5. Evaluate Solution: Evaluate solution effectiveness. Reflect on design. Recommend
improvements. Optimize/Redesign the solution. (Return to prior design process steps, if
necessary) Revise design documents.
6. Present Solution: Document the project in a portfolio. Communicate the project in a
formal presentation to an audience.
