explain in 1-2 paragraphs how design and problem soving related. provide an example of a problem situation in which design might be used as a solution and describe such a solution

Design and problem solving are related. As when someone starts designing anything they come across many issues to complete that design same as when someone comes across a problem they have to solve it thinking of possible designs of the solutions.

For example the modern research has proved that people tend to understand complex ideas when explained to them visually, that is the reason that whiteboard animations are a booming industry today when it comes to complex problem solving because they have combined design with problem solving.

Explanation:

Here are some additional examples of engineering design problem statements:

Students need an easier way to lock their lockers at school, because combination locks are hard to unlock and often get jammed.

Dogs need a way to go to the bathroom inside homes, because dogs don't like to go outside in bad weather, and there are times when people can't take their dogs outdoors.

Teachers need a better way to erase chalkboards, because erasers are messy and don't remove all of the chalk.

Parents need a way to store lunchboxes in the refrigerator, because they often make their children's lunches the night before school

the problem that you select for your engineering design project is the cornerstone of your work. Your research and design work will all revolve around finding a solution to the problem you describe. Here are some characteristics of a good problem statement:

The problem should be interesting enough to read about and work on for the next couple months.

There should be at least three sources of written information on the subject, as well as similar products to analyze. You want to be able to build on the experience of others!

The problem is specific enough to allow you to design a solution.
