The Deal System The Deal System
Deal is an acronym for a problem solving method.
Define the problem
Explore all possible solution
Act on the best solution
Look back and evaluate the results
DDefine the problem-efine the problem-
Write out the problem clearly as a “Design Brief”
Design Brief – “A written plan that identifies a problem to be solved, its criteria, and its constraints. The design brief is used to encourage thinking of all aspects of a problem before attempting a solution.” (R1 pg 237)
EExplore all possible solution- xplore all possible solution-
Do not discount possible solutions.
Brainstorming “A method of shared problem solving in which all members of a group spontaneously and in a unrestrained discussion generate ideas. (R1 pg 236)
“In searching for the best solution, the designer redesigns, tests, refines, and remodels again and again.” (R1 p.97)
AAct on the best solution- ct on the best solution-
Choose a solution that you think will work best. Put the plan into action.
LLook back and evaluate the results-ook back and evaluate the results-
Observe the process and the actual results.
Does the solution need to be modified or another solution selected.

Materials- Materials are the goods that we develop into products.
Tools and Machines- Tools include hand tools and machines.
Energy- Energy is the source of power for all of our technology systems.
Time- Since the industrial era, time has been measured in hours, minutes and seconds. Our forefathers measured time the setting and rising of the sun. We now measure time in nanoseconds (billionths of a second).
