Design Process Week 1
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Design Process | Systematic problem solving with constraints and criteria used to develop many possible solutions to solve a problem or satisfy human needs and wants to narrow down the possible solutions to one final choice. |
Problem Identification | An unwelcome or harmful matter needing to be dealt with. |
Constraint | 1. A limit to the design process. Constraints are appearance, funding, space, material, ,and human capabilities. |
Research/Brainstorming | Study of materials and sources in order to get facts and reach conclusions. Group technique for generating ideas by participating in unrestrained discussion. |
Solution | One possible answer to a problem. |
Assessment/Evaluate | Analyze benefits and risks. Understand trade-offs. Test to see if the actual solution does not meet constraints or solve problem. |
Interactive | Process that repeats a series or loop of steps until a condition is satisfied. Design process steps may need to be repeated if a solution does not meet constraints or solve problem. |
Design Brief | A written plan that identifies the problem, its criteria, and its constraints. Used to encourage the designer/engineer to think of all aspects of a problem before attempting a solution. |
