Design Process and Problem Solving

Play an AI-generated podcast conversation about this lesson

What is a characteristic of an acceptable problem in the design process?

It is complex and difficult to solve

It has a known solution

It is irrelevant to the stakeholders

It is valid and justifiable (correct)

What should you do if the problem may not be solvable with existing technology?

Redefine the problem statement (correct)

Proceed with the current solution path

Conduct scientific research to develop new technology

Abandon the problem-solving process

Why is it important to understand the iterative nature of the design process?

To avoid solving the problem entirely

To save time and resources

Because the steps can and should be repeated to reach an optimal solution (correct)

So that you can skip steps in the process
