What is a Design Process?
A design process is a systematic problem-solving strategy, with criteria and constraints, used to develop many possible solutions to solve or satisfy human needs or wants and to narrow down the possible solutions to one final choice.

1. Define a Problem
A litter box constantly needs to be cleaned out, but this is not an environmentally-friendly process.
![Page 8: Design Process Overview. What is Design? Design is a process that is used to systematically solve problems](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649cb05503460f94974d3b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
2. Brainstorm
• Dissolvable liners• Odor removing pellets• Biodegradable liners• Robotics• Self-cleaning

3. Generate and Research Ideas
• Research solutions
• Generate and Compile the ideas
![Page 10: Design Process Overview. What is Design? Design is a process that is used to systematically solve problems](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649cb05503460f94974d3b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
4. Identify Criteria and Specific Constraints
• Cost
• Limitations
• Time
![Page 11: Design Process Overview. What is Design? Design is a process that is used to systematically solve problems](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102906/56649cb05503460f94974d3b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
5. Explore Possibilities
• Biodegradable liners would be safe for the environment and reduce waste in landfills.
• Waste and dissolvable liners could be placed in compost piles, if necessary.

6. Select an Approach
Biodegradable liners could eliminate solid waste in landfills, could be placed in compost piles, and would be environmentally friendly.
