Title: Describe the engineering design process.
Course: Engineering Drawing and Design (21106-18) > Section: Introducing the Design Process

Description should include the concept that the engineering design process is an iterative, creative process for solving problems concerning real objects, products, systems, and environments. The steps of the process include

- identification of a design problem
- identification of criteria and constraints
- creation of multiple designs
- evaluation of the designs
- refinement of designs
- development of a product or system using criteria and constraints for quality control
- reevaluation of final solutions.
- establishing a system of documentation for monitoring workflow.
