introduction to technology mandatory
What is Design?
Design is about creating something to meet a need. This usually means that designers have to plan what they are going to do, consider the needs of the client, and work within constraints of time, money and safety. They also need to consider the social, cultural, ethical and environmental issues that their designs might have.
Sometimes design is the invention of something new but sometimes it involves changing something that already exists to be different or better.
What is Technology?
Technology is more than just computers. Technology enables us to design, make, evaluate and use products, systems and environments to improve lifestyle. Technology can be real or digital.
WHY DO WE DESIGN?
The main reason that we design is to SOLVE A PROBLEM to make our life easier. We also design to correct products, systems or environments that are in trouble or require improvement.

how do we design? ' the design process '
When a true designer sits down to solve a problem, he/she does not have a pre-conceived idea of what the exact finished product will look like. Instead, they have a vision of what they need the product to do, what problems they need it to solve, then follow the DESIGN PROCESS until they produce a product that meets their required needs.
Generally, the design process is made up of the following stages:
1. Design Situation/Need – a statement that describes the problem that your design will fulfill.
2. Design Brief – a statement that describes what is required from you as a designer.
3. Analysis of the Brief – your statement that describes how you will solve the brief problem. You will include details about what you will need to do, skills you will need to do it as well as any limitations on the design process (such as; time, resources).
4. Research – use the internet, books and other sources to research valid information about your design. These sources must be referenced.
5. Design Ideas – your ideas for your design. Sketch ideas and write a few points about what is good and bad about each design.
6. Design Solution/Final Design – choose the design that best solves the design brief and explain why you chose it over the others.
7. Evaluation – write about how your design meets the criteria in the design brief and say whether your design meets the design need. Suggest positive and negative aspects of your design or your design process and what you would change if you could do it again.
Please find below the Powerpoint Presentation on the Design Process.
