| Wherever there are people there are problems needing solutions. | Step1: Identifying Problems and Opportunities |
| Describe simply and clearly what is to be designed. | Step 2: Framing a Design Brief |
| Design a handle that remains cool when a pot is heated. | Example of Design Brief |
| Ask: Has it been built before? | Step 3: Investigation and Research |
| Make sketches (use the computer or by hand). | Step 4: Generating Alternate Solutions |
| Compare solutions in a chart. | Step 5: Choosing a Solution |
| Make detailed drawings (blueprint) showing dimensions. | Step 6: Developmental Work |
| Create the first working version in three dimensional form. | Step 7: Modeling and Prototyping |
| Collecting data (numbers, facts) to show how well it works. | Step 8: Testing and Evaluating |
| What would you change? | Step 9: Redesigning and Improving |
| What is it used for? | A question for Investigation and Research. |
| Giving solutions a score | Helps to Choose a Solution |
