The document discusses the design process for problem solving. It outlines 7 key steps: 1) recognize the problem, 2) research the problem, 3) establish objectives for solutions, 4) decide on possible solutions, 5) select the best solutions, 6) test the solution, and 7) refine the solution. Some important aspects of the process are clearly stating the problem, establishing goals to evaluate solutions, gathering ideas through brainstorming, creating mock-ups and prototypes to test solutions, and getting feedback to modify designs. The overall process provides a systematic method for designing solutions to problems.

1. Experience Technology Chapter 10 The Design Process: A Problem-Solving System Mr. Bryant

2. Step 1 Recognize the Problem Is it clearly stated?

3. Step 2 Research the problem Focus Limit Avoid Complexity

4. Step 2 Research the problem Market Research – Check out the competition Consumer Research – Survey users of products similar to yours

5. Step 3 Establish Objectives for Solution(s) Design Criteria - The goals the solution must fulfill

6. Step 4 Decide on Possible Solutions Brainstorming - Gather all ideas you can without trying to make them perfect

7. Step 4 Evaluation Suggested Solutions Compare each solution with your original goals

8. Step 5 Select the “Best” Solutions Mock-Ups – models that look like the real thing but do not necessarily work or contain the actual materials or mechanisms

9. Step 6 Test the Solution Prototype – First working model of a device Field-Test – using the device under realistic circumstances

10. Step 7 Refine the Solution Testing Feedback Modification

11. Chapter Highlights People have been solving problems for thousands of years.

12. Chapter Highlights The problem-solving process gives us a helpful method for designing a solution.

13. Chapter Highlights A clear statement of the problem is a good start towards the solution. !

14. Chapter Highlights Establishing goals provides a means for proposing and evaluating solutions.

15. Chapter Highlights People often modify or revise their solutions as a result of feedback.
