The document outlines several design processes that involve systematically solving problems. It describes a general design process as having the following main steps: 1) identifying problems and opportunities, 2) researching and generating alternative solutions, 3) choosing a solution, 4) developing and testing prototypes, and 5) improving the design. The document then provides a more detailed 12-step design process used by Project Lead The Way, which includes defining a problem, brainstorming solutions, researching ideas, specifying constraints, exploring possibilities, selecting an approach, developing proposals, prototyping, testing and refining designs, and communicating results.
