We will discuss what makes for a good design and how best to judge a design. We will then review an approach to how to start your design by establishing goals and understanding the limits. Once we know what the parameters are to be for the design, the process of communicating that design begins. A review of some of the methods we can use to communicate our design and how they help define the road to the final design. We will end the course with the start of a design and a Q&A session.
