3. What is Design?

4. Design (definition by Wikipedia)
(noun) a specification of an object, manifested by an agent, intended to accomplish goals, in a particular environment, using a set of primitive components, satisfying a set of requirements, subject to constraints;
(verb, transitive) to create a design, in an environment (where the designer operates)[3]

5. Design from Dym et. Al.
Engineering design is a systematic, intelligent process in which designers generate, evaluate, and specify concepts [designs] for devices, systems, or processes whose form and function achieve clients’ objectives or users’ needs while satisfying a specified set of constraints.

6. Design defined by ABET
Engineering design is the process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs. It is a decision-making process (often iterative), in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and the engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet these stated needs.

7. Design Thinking
refers to the methods and processes for investigating ill-defined problems, acquiring information, analyzing knowledge, and positing solutions in the design and planning fields. As a style of thinking, it is generally considered the ability to combine empathy for the context of a problem, creativity in the generation of insights and solutions, and rationality to analyze and fit solutions to the context.

11. The Key Design Process Steps:
Clarify objectives
Establish user requirements
Identify constraints
Establish functions
Establish design specifcations
Generate alternatives
Model or analyze design
Test and evaluate design
Refine and optimize design
Document design

19. Design Intent:

22. Client statement (Need)

23. Give the user/client what they need, not what they ask for!

24. Projects without Reqs., Specs. & Feedback:
Tolle

25. The client’s understanding of the problem usually requires clarification by the designer! Dym & Little page 50

26. Identify needs Could be done using formal methods
Could be done very informally

27. Identify needs Ask questions Listen Clarify Be creative
Ask wild questions
Brainstorm on the need

28. What type of thinking is needed in Design?
Linear, straightforward - Necessary but not sufficient
Organizational - Necessary but not sufficient
Creative - Necessary but not sufficient
Reflective - Necessary but not sufficient
