4. GLOBAL CONTEXT: Scientific and technical innovation
Explain and justify the need for a solution to a problem for a specified client/target audience
You may ask the following questions to identify a problem from the situation.
What is the nature of the problem?
Who is it a problem for?
Where is the problem occurring?
What is the cause of the problem?
What effect is the problem having?
Examine the problem in terms of GC. By demonstrating your understanding of how the GC relates to the design problem.
GLOBAL CONTEXT: Scientific and technical innovation

5. Identify and prioritize the primary and secondary research needed to develop a solution to the problem
Primary research (Direct: First-hand research)
Secondary research (Indirect: Desk research)
All primary research is carried out by the student, who collects his or her own data.
Examples include:
conducting interviews, check with the store keeper at school to get a better idea as to how data is handled.
Discussing with the faculty members what material is ordered during the beginning of the year and through the year.
Scanned document that can help in identifying what material is ordered for by faculty members.
Secondary research involves using data collected by other people.
Analyzing the data collected and working out measures how this could be handled by the client.
downloading data from a marketing website
A broader research on how the material ordered by the faculty is being used in their relevant departments.

6. Develop a detailed design brief which summarizes the analysis of relevant research
The brief shouldn’t solve the problem at this stage, but instead outline what the student intends to design to solve the problem, provide answers to each of the research questions, and clarify the essential and desirable features of a solution. It should also state any determined values that the design must meet, such as the following.
When designing a bird house, the student may have researched the size of desired birds and therefore determined the size of the entry hole to the bird house.
When designing a new noodle product, the student may have determined the “base” recipe for making the noodles as part of his or her research.
When designing a web page, the student may have identified certain fonts or images that need to be included.
When designing a video game, the student may have identified particular sprites that he or she will use to represent the main characters in the game.

7. B. Developing ideas
Develop a design specification which clearly states the success criteria for the design of a solution
Develop a range of feasible design ideas which can be correctly interpreted by others
Present the final chosen design and justify its selection
Develop accurate and detailed planning drawing /diagrams and outline the requirements for the creation of the chosen solution
Introductory notes.

8. C.Creating the solution
Construct a logical plan, which describe the efficient use of time and resources, sufficient for peers to be able to follow to create the solution
Demonstrate excellent technical skills when making the solution
Follow the plan to create the solution, which functions as intended
Fully justify changes made to the chosen design and plan when making the solution
Present the solution as a whole , either
In electronic form, or
Through photographs of the solution from different angles, showing details
Objectives for instruction and expected results and/or skills developed from learning.

9. D. Evaluating
Design detailed and relevant testing methods, which generate data, to measure the success of the solution
Critically evaluate the success of the solution against the design specification
Explain how the solution could be improved
Explain the impact of the solution on the client/target audience
Relative vocabulary list.
