Identify the Problem
What is the very first step of the design loop?
Identify the problem
In what step do you gather information to avoid "rediscovering the wheel"?
Research and investigation
In which step do you compare all possibilities and pick the one that solves the problem best?
Choose the best solution
Which step involves building a working model of your chosen solution?
Prototyping
In which step do you ask, "Does this solve the problem?"
Before solving a problem, what question should you ask?
What are we trying to do? / What problem are we trying to solve?
Why is it important to not copy another solution when researching a general topic?
You need to create your own solution that meets your specific design brief.
How many different ideas should must you develop before choosing the best solution?
Three
What is the main purpose of creating a prototype?
To test and refine the chosen solution before making the final version
Why does this step sometimes send you back to the drawing board?
You may need to make improvements
What document often describes the requirements and goals of a design challenge?
Design brief
What guiding question do engineers ask in this step?
What do we need to know to solve the problem?
When choosing the best solution, sometimes the best answer is not just one idea. What is?
Combination of a few ideas
Why might an engineer build more than one prototype?
To compare different models and improve the design
What should you compare your final model to during testing and evaluation?
