or further design, depending on the outcome of the analysis.

a project to create a design of a product to meet the needs of the
stakeholders.

preliminary design. They would then be required to analyse their design.

design.

prototypes. This would be to evaluate/ analyse the effectiveness of their

Generate

Generating may include students generating or forming ideas about a
project or even generating conclusions about the effectiveness of their
product. It is generally the coming together of many ideas to make a
decision.
|
Interpret
|
There may be some aspects of the design brief that are not clear and
provide no ‘clean cut’ answers. This will require students to use what they
know, brainstorm and discuss in groups (collaboratively) to interpret the
problem to ensure they create a solution that will meet the perceived needs.
|
Problem-solve
|
Students will be required throughout the process to problem solve
(apply their knowledge to new, challenging and open-ended situations).

Produce

Produce requires students to create their product; to actually construct
their design.
|
Research
|
Students will be required throughout all stages of the design process
to research their need or topic to look up the most suitable construction,
the most suitable materials, the most suitable uses, etc. Although the
research process will occur heavily in the beginning part of the design
process, students will most likely revert back to this again and again
throughout the process as changes need to be made.
