>>> // Write up a GoogleDoc report about the project. It should include; //
 * 1) **INVESTIGATE **
 * **Identify ** **a valid need**
 * What has to be accomplished?; What does the "client" require?;
 * Who is the target Audience?; What do THEY expect?;
 * What's the point?
 * What resources do you have?
 * **Research and Gather Information **
 * Gather SAMPLES or WEBLINKS of what looks good to you!
 * Record **information**, look into the "state of the art" by examining other solutions on the web;
 * Try to establish the "rules" and criteria others have used to solve this kind of problem
 * Specifications - size, resolution, media
 * 1) **PLAN **
 * **Generate Ideas **
 * Create simple sketches or lists of as many solutions as possible, demonstrating the rules you established above
 * Do your ideas satisfy the the requirements?
 * Evaluate **the Viability** of solutions (e.g., by testing, modelling, and documenting results) and choose the best one;
 * **Prepare Storyboards or AutoCad Plans**
 * To visually and accurately describe your intended product
 * To establish precise dimensions or timing for your intended product
 * Prepare a Procedure List to list the production steps
 * 1) **CREATE**
 * **Produce** a working quality drawing, model, or prototype of the best solution;
 * 1) **EVALUATE**
 * **TEST** the prototype and evaluate how well is satisfies the original requirements. How flexible is it? Refine or revise if necessary.
 * **Present** the solution, using one or more of the following: final drawings, technical reports, electronic presentations, flow charts, storyboards, mockups, prototypes, and so on;
 * Obtain **feedback** on the final solution and repeat the design process if necessary to refine or improve the solution.
 * REFLECT
 * REFLECTION: CONCLUSION
 * 1) Your successes
 * 2) Your problems
 * 3) What you would do differently
 * 4) What you have learned
 * 5) What advice would you give someone that is about to start the same project.

AutoCad Plans

__SAMPLE Exercises__ - LOGO DESIGN

 * 1) **CyberDog Logo Design** - Your task is to create a logo for CyberDog Productions. On paper, Explain or demonstrate each of the FIRST SIX steps of the Design Process as it applies to this challenge. //Hint - Begin at step 2 by gathering information from the// //[|Wikipedia article]// //on the word "////[|Logo]////"//
 * 2) **Client Logo Design** - Find an organization in the school that would benefit from a custom designed logo. Use the Design Process to develop an original logo for them
 * 3) **Design Process Logo** - Create a graphic symbol to represent the concept of "the Design Process". It should act as a visual reminder of the proper steps, as well as be aesthetically pleasing.

**__SAMPLE Exercises__** - MOUSE TRAP CAR

 * 1) Your task is to design and build a car that will use the energy of a mouse trap in order to make it move forward. The project could be different every time. One year the challenge could be to build a car that travels the farthest distance, another could be going up an incline or again pull a mass.

__SAMPLE Exercises__ - BOTTLE ROCKET

 * 1) Your task is to design and build a rocket with a recycled bottle of pop. The principle of this project is to create a rocket by using noting other then compressed air and a 2 L. bottle. The students will learn about aerodynamics by simply modifying / alterning the shape of the bottle in order to make it fly further nad faster into "space".
