Document Summary
Series of steps; problem identification, generating criteria, solution generation, etc. Customer based, design, conflict management, customer feedback, team-based work, etc. Evolutionary/incremental design: improving existing solutions: usually due to advancements in technology or research. Solutions to common design errors: delay decisions until problem is well understood, develop models that actually solve the issue. Test prototypes using structured methods: generate multiple solutions (have alternatives) Consider all pros and cons based on data: document all progress (lab book) Personality: stable patterns of behaviour and internal states that determine how individual reacts to/interacts with others. Design (verb): form a plan for later execution. Design (noun): created object (plan) related to what is being designed, but distinct from it: design process takes you from the verb to the noun. Math/science/engineering: well posed problem statements, unique solutions. Basic steps, linear model (however iteration can be done at any point: needs analysis problem statement design criteria generate solutions select/evaluate solutions prototype implement solution.
