Study Notes
Analysis Stage
- The main focus of the Analysis stage in design problem-solving is to seek relevant information to understand the problem.
- Guiding questions in the Analysis stage include: What are the key issues?, What are the customer needs?, What are the constraints?.
- One of the key steps in the Analysis stage that helps in shaping the design solution is to gather and analyze data.
Synthesis Stage
- A defining characteristic of the Synthesis stage is that it involves generating a wide range of possible solutions.
Design Alternatives
- A significant step in evaluating design alternatives is to compare them using design criteria.
Key Aspects of Design
- Intuition and imagination are key aspects of design that involve creativity.
- A design solution's performance can be measured using significant design criteria.
Good Design
- A good design does not need to be original or creative according to the text.
- A design is considered good if it is effective, efficient, and appealing.
