View Handout: 1.5.1. Client Memo II
EatEZ has sent us another client memo with more details on their design needs. Many clients provide new information during the course of a project that may change your understanding of the problem and potential solutions. As the client's wants and needs change, you may need to revise how you define the problem. This will also impact the design requirements and your overall design solution.
First, individually read the 1.5.1. Client Memo II reflecting on the problem and request of your client. Then, discuss the memo with your group and complete 1.5.1. Identify the Client’s Problem Part II.
EDPL
Make any necessary changes in the EDPL (Identify the Problem, Understand the Problem–Requirements) with the new information you learned from the second client memo.
Now, we will ideate more solution ideas since we have gotten new information from the client and learned about thermoregulation and heat transfer.
Class Discussion:
- What were your “big takeaways'' from conducting the thermoregulation experiment? List three ideas that struck you as important for product design.
- What were your big takeaways from the second client memo?

Remember, if you choose to incorporate some of the biology we have explored in your design ideas, follow the BIDI steps. Select the biology concept you want to incorporate into your design idea and then integrate it into your design idea.
Now we will Ideate more solution ideas. You can brainstorm and use the SCAMPER tool if you wish. You will do this on notebook or printer paper.

Teacher Note: In 1.5.2., students will create a group conceptual design using these ideas.
