IDE Corp.'s Design Process Poster - Systems View

IDE Corp.'s Design Process Posters provide schools and learning environments with a visual representation of the design process, promoting pervasive use of common language and design thinking. In STE(A)M programs, the S stands for "science," of which the cornerstone is the scientific method. The scientific method seeks to explain that which exists. The E stands for "engineering," which seeks to create what does not exist. Students benefit from a methodical design process while designing solutions to open-ended problems. As schools seek to build a culture for creating STE(A)M mindsets in students, the messaging, language, and visual representation are key components. IDE Corp.'s six-step design process offers one facet of engaging students in building the mindset of STE(A)M, with an emphasis on engineering and design. As a result, including posters in the physical learning environment depicting the process reinforces design thinking and the use of common language. IDE Corp.'s Design Pro
