Design Process Steps 2
Using the Design Process
100

A method of shared problems solving in which all the members of a group generate ideas. Task involved in step 2. 

What is Brainstorming?

100

A definition for the Design Process

What is the step-by-step process to solve a problem?

100

Students must create an AFO. There are several requirements and constraints. (Hint: They haven't done anything yet, this simply explains what they have to do.) 

What is define the problem?

100

The step that comes BEFORE choosing the best solution _____

What is generating concepts? 

100

In order to brainstorm and create sketches of your prototype design, you must first research _______________. 

What is past solutions? 

200

A tool for systematically ranking alternative solutions according to a set of criteria. This is the step for brainstorming and exploring alternative ideas based on further knowledge and technologies. (Task in step 2)

What is a Decision Matrix?

200

The number of steps in the design process.

What is six? 

200

AFTER testing, students create this. This is the final step in the process.

What is present the solution? 

200

Before you can brainstorm solutions to a problem you must do this. This step also comes before researching.

What is define the problem?

200

The definition of testing and evaluating.

What is the act of making improvements to a design?

300
What the customer wants and what the product needs to have? 

What is the criteria? 

300

The reason for using the design process.

What is problem solving?

300

This step takes place when someone uses the materials and sketches to make something.

What is develop a solution? 

300

This is the second step in the design process.

What is generating concepts? 

300

During this step you present the final product to the customer. 

What is present the solution? 

400

The limitations of the project? 

What is to constraints? 

400

_________ can use the design process to solve a problem.

Who is anyone?

400

The forth step.

What is construct and test? 

400

Making a detailed drawing or blueprint falls into this step. 

What is developing a solution? 

400

Groups of students create a blueprint (AS THEIR FINAL SKETCH) of the parking garage prototype they will build. This represents _________ in the design process.

What is developing a solution? 

500

A visual, representation in detail of an object or design, often smaller than the original.  

What is a Model?

500

These are the steps of the design process in order.

What are: Define the problem, Generate Concepts,  Develop Solution, Construct and Test, Evaluate Solution, and Present Solution 

500

You might have to edit and repeat this process multiple times.

What is evaluating the solution? 

500

Make changes to AFO, test new design to see if it works better. The step in the design process is ______

What is evaluate the solution? 

500

The decision matrix is based off of what? 

What is the constraints and criteria?
