A design projects begins with the feasibility study. The
purpose of this phase is to achieve a set of useful solutions to the design
problem. Sometimes, a design group is assigned to a project for which a design
concept has already been fixed. In this case, the first step in the study
process is to demonstrate whether there is an original need, which was presumed
to be valid, thus indeed have current existence, or strong evidence of latest
existence. The next step is to explore the design problem and to identify
its elements such as, parameters, constraints and major design criteria. In the
next step, an effort is made to conceive a number of possible solutions.
