You will be required to 1) Explain the situation and/or problem that you will be solving by means of the design cycle. 2) Do research into the Problem to help you understand it better and to help you formulate an action plan to solve the problem. As part of this research, you are required to create a survey (questionnaire) to help you. Pick one of your classmates and research their culture and how it affects the environment. 3) Write a Design Brief ( A short statement 1 to 2 sentences of what you will do about the problem) based on the problem and your research 4) Write a Product Specification ( A list of what your product MUST have or MUST be in order for it to be successful) 5) Devise tests which will help you evaluate your product. The tests should be based on your product specification. They should indicate if you have met your requirements of your specification.
