PLTW Design Game

Is the first step in the design process. Includes the problem being identified, validated, and justified. The design requirements are determined and the design brief is created.

• prototype

• Valid

• define the problem

• present solution

• construct/test prototype

A process that repeats a series of steps over and over until the desired outcome is obtained.

• evaluate solution

• iterative

• develop solution

• define the problem

• Valid

A full- scale working model used to test a design concept

• Prototype
• present solution
• construct/test prototype
• generate concepts
• Justifiable

A group technique for solving problems, generating ideas, stimulating creative thinking, etc. by unrestrained spontaneous participation in discussion

• define the problem

• Iterative

• evaluate solution

• develop solution

• brainstorm

A clear and concise identification and description of the design problem or opportunity.

• Design Brief

• Deliverables

• Problem Statement

• Design Statement

A statement that briefly describes the design goals and needs of the stakeholders.

• Consumer Statement

• Designer Statement

• Criteria Statement

• Design Statement

Of criteria and constraints, which one includes the desired functions and features of the solution?

• criteria

• constraints

Of criteria and constraints, which includes the limitations on the design, such as size and weight limitations and time and funds restrictions?

• criteria

• constraints

Together, the criteria and constraints form the requirements of the desired solution.

• No

• Yes

time, budget and safety are almost always considered to be____________

• trade-offs

• constraints

• criteria

• efficiency
