Abstract
Evaluate solutions is the fifth step of the EDP (Figure 5.1). After brainstorming, teams will have numerous solution ideas that must be narrowed down to a couple viable designs. The strategy for narrowing ideas will depend on how many initial ideas were generated, as well as whether teams brainstormed full or partial solutions. Evaluating ideas with a systematic and quantitative method ensures that solutions with the best potential for satisfying design criteria are carried out in the prototyping phase.
