Students are presented with a design situation, from which they identify a problem that needs to be solved.
They analyze the need for a solution and conduct an inquiry into the nature of the problem.
In order to reach the aims of design, students should be able to:
i. explain and justify the need for a solution to a problem for a specified client/target audience
ii. identify and prioritize the primary and secondary research needed to develop a solution to the problem
iii. analyse a range of existing products that inspire a solution to the problem
iv. develop a detailed design brief which summarizes the analysis of relevant research.
