The design process if a process that engineers follow to find a solution to a problem. The first step is to identify the problem. Questions that are asked in this step are what’s the problem, who is the problem concerning, and why. Specifying requirements is an important key factor for your solution to be viable. The solution shouldn’t have too many design requirements or too little. The reason behind this is having too many design requirements will make it very difficult to design and build a product. Design decisions will become unnecessarily complex seeing that many design trade-offs increase. Having to little requirements will result in many consequences. For example, if you design something and didn’t specify the cost then you might end up with something that costs more than you are willing to pay. The next crucial step in the process is brainstorming solutions. Never settle for the first idea that pops into your head because it stops the creative process. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box and create as many possible solutions as you can. A few ways to do this is sketching and doodling, examining existing products, etc. Sketching and doodling helps to express your ideas and visually connect multiple ideas together. Come up with new solutions until you feel like you have run out of ideas. The brainstorming process isn’t supposed to be rushed. When choosing a solution, look at whether the solution has met the design
