Instructors Recommended Approach
• Teoriya Resheniya

Mass Space
Zadatch (TRIZ)
– The ideal solu?on is one
that:
• Occupies no Space Solu?ons
• Has no Mass
• Consumes no Energy
• Costs Nothing
Energy Cost

Advanced Ideas for the Design Process
Instructors Recommenda?on not Part of Syllabus
• Map out Problem
• Design Sprint Monday • Choose what to Focus On
– Five Day Inven?ve
Process to address issues • Sketch a Set of Solu?ons on Paper
using the least amount Tuesday
of ?me needed. • Cri?que each solu?on individually
Wednesday • Vote on the best solu?ons
• Fabricate the solu?on with
Thursday highest votes
• Test them using humans
Friday

Advanced Ideas in Design Process
Instructors Recommenda?on not Part of Syllabus
• Design Thinking
– The inability of a design Test
to consider human
nature and human Prototype
behavior the product
ability to access the Ideate
market or to be
considered by the Define
market as usable.

• Flexibility of use
• Deals with the issue of Test
