- (Re)define and analyze a problem and its subproblems, and pose a design intent;
- Propose a design solution developed through systematic thinking in response to the following issues: styling, semantics, dimensional coordination, basic user-product interaction, use scenario, physical and functional requirements, producibility, and usability;
- Present design solutions via technical drawings and basic two- and three-dimensional presentation techniques.
