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

design goals, select an approach.

What are the Design Process procedures? Develop technical drawings.
4. Construct and Test Prototype: Construct a testable prototype. Plan prototype testing

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.
