Description should include the design process as a systematic, creative process for turning ideas into real products and environments, including
- identification of a design brief
- identification of a design problem
- identification of criteria and constraints
- brainstorming of possible solutions
- performance of research concerning the possible solutions
- creation of a draft design
- refinement of the design
- evaluation of the design
- development of a final product or system
- reevaluation of final solution.
Process/Skill Questions:
- How can design problems be identified?
- Why is it important to identify criteria and constraints?
- What techniques are used to refine a design?
- How can a design be evaluated?
- Why should final solutions be reevaluated? How is this done?
- What is the importance of a preliminary draft?
- What other scenarios require the design process?
- What criteria would be used to evaluate the success of a design?
- Why is it important to use a systematic process?
