General Design Process
1. General Design Process
2. Understand Problem
3. Conceptual Design
4. Embodiment Design
5. Detail Design
6. Prototype and Testing
7. Completion (Implementation)
What is Design
Creative
Synthesis
No Unique Solution/Open Ended Problem
Collaboration in a Team
Learning of Design
Problem Formulation is as Important as Problem Solution
Do Design
Design Process and Tools
(CE)E - Design Sequence
(with selected feedback cycles)
The Decision Analysis Cycle
(after Stael von Holstein, 1973)
Deterministic Phase
Probabilistic Phase
1. Define Problem and Limits of
Investigation
1. Express Uncertainty in Variables by
Means of Probabilities
2. Alternative Courses of Action 2. Probabilistic Model
3. Outcomes of Each Alternative
3. Establish Relative Value of Probabilistic
Outcomes
4. Select Decision and State
Variables
4. Probabilistic Sensitivity Analysis
5. Relate Outcomes and Variables
6. Time Preference
Information Phase
7. Dominated Alternatives
Eliminated
1. Value of Perfect Information
8. Sensitivity of Outcome to
Variables
2. Evaluate Various Information Collection
Schemes
