) Informed Design;2) Teamwork; and 3) Communication. 1. Informed Design is a process that enables you to enhance your own relatedknowledge and skill base before attempting to suggest solutions. This way, you reach designsolutions informed by prior knowledge and research as opposed to trial and error problemsolving. Informed design emphasizes design challenges that rely on the creative use of technicalknowledge along with repeated testing to improve design performance. The Informed Design process connects this knowledge and skill base, plus practicalexperience and prior learning, to an eight-step design cycle. Students can re-enter the designcycle at any step to revise the solution when necessary. The end product solution of the
