The Design Process

What is Design?
• Design is a creative
planning process that
leads to useful
products and systems.
• There are no perfect
designs
• Design requirements
are made by criteria
and constraints
Criteria and Constraints:

Criteria: identify the desired elements and features


of a product or system and usually relate to their
purpose or function.

Constraints: such as size and cost, establish the


limits on a design.
What is the Design Process?

• The design process is a purposeful method


of planning practical solutions to problems.

• The design process is never final; there are


always multiple solutions to a problem.

• The design process is influenced by


requirements called criteria and constraints.

Choose Best Idea
Step One: Define the Problem

Defining the problem is like


conducting detective work. You
must examine the evidence and
form some conclusions.
Step Two: Brainstorm

Brainstorming involves
bringing a group of people
together to generate many
different ideas.

All ideas are considered-


None are criticized
Step Three: Research

Research may require going to


the library, using computer
databases, writing letters,
performing experiments, and
asking questions.
Step Four: Develop Ideas

Develop multiple ideas that will solve the problem and


meet the requirements. The alternatives may all be
quite diverse.
Criteria:
 How will the solution actually
work?
 What materials should I use?
 What should the product look like
so that people will buy it?
Constraints:
 Will it be completed by the
deadline?
 What size should it be?
Step Five: Choose The Best Idea

Decide on an idea that best meets the criteria, fits


within the constraints, and has the least amount of
negative characteristics.
• List the strengths and weaknesses of each alternative.
• Optimize for better performance/safety
• Trade-off, give up one desirable trait for another
Step Six: Model or Prototype

• Model building is used to gather additional information


and test design ideas.
Realistic drawings or renderings help you visualize what the solution
will look like in real life.
Scale models or mock-ups are small, accurate representations of the
final product.
3D CAD (computer aided designs) can show objects in action.
A prototype is a working model; it looks and functions just like the
finished product.
Step Seven: Test and Evaluate

• Models of design solutions must be tested and important


questions must be answered during the evaluation.
Is it safe for people and the environment?
Is it comfortable?
Is it affordable?
Is it aesthetically pleasing (does it look good)?
Will it last as long as it needs to?
Does it meet the criteria and constraints?
Does it work?
Step Eight: Improve Design

• After studying all test data and evaluating design


solutions, you may need to make changes.
This is the time to improve design before production starts
Step Nine: Communicate Results

• Share your design ideas with others to prove the design is


worthy of manufacturing.
• Poster Drawings
Charts Prototypes
PowerPoint presentation Reports
