This subtopic covers Design as a Problem-Solving Activity. Problem Framing and Exploration: Design in engineering is inherently a problem-solving activity, where the focus is on identifying challenges and generating effective, efficient solutions. Learning engineers analyze learner needs, educational goals, and environmental constraints as they develop solutions.
Creative and Analytical Balance: Engineers must apply both creative ideation and rigorous analysis to propose viable solutions, balancing innovative thinking with practical considerations.
Iterative Problem Solving: Problem-solving in design is often iterative, allowing for continuous refinement of the solution as new data and insights are gathered.
