Session 2653 An Exercise in Problem Definition in an Early Design Course Richard Bannerot University of HoustonAbstractProblem identification and definition is a necessary first step in the design process, but it is oftenoverlooked in the rush to “get started” designing. The result of a complete problem identificationprocess is a problem statement and the resulting specifications, as described in the paper, thatdefine the problem in some detail. Without a good problem statement and/or a comprehensive setof specifications it is difficult, if not impossible, to
