Select all of the following statements that are true regarding the design process.
Select one or more:
a. Divergent thinking is the process of creating multiple unique ideas or solutions related to a problem that engineers have to solve.
b. The purpose of building a prototype is to determine the design constraints for the product
c. A plan produced to show the workings of a design before it is built or made is called a design.
d. A client brief is a verbal request for a job to be done as soon as possible.
e. The design process often begins with defining the problem.
f. Prototyping is a step in the design thinking process.
g. The best time to decide upon the criteria you will use to test your design is after the model is constructed.
h. A defined limit on the design, such as noise, cost, weight, environmental impact etc. is called a constraint.
i. The process of coming up with a single best solution and implementing multiple ideas based on that solution is called divergent thinking.
j. Convergent thinking is the process of coming up with a logical single best solution to a problem.
k. The design process often begins with making a prototype.
Transition to an energy system based on renewable technologies is vital for combating climate change and achieving positive economic impact. Denmark leads the world in terms of percentage of its electricity that is
generated from wind. It is also a leader in the development of technologies to improve electrical and mechanical efficiencies of wind turbines, while reducing the side effects such as noise to adjacent homes and
problems/harm for birds.
You are working in a team of engineers developing a proposal in collaboration with Vestas, a Danish company, to install a wind farm in rural Victoria, near two small but well established towns.
Please identify at least 5 relevant stakeholders that you will need to consider in this project and the reason their needs should be taken into consideration. Use bullet points and short sentences.
