Design briefs are instructional tools used to stimulate
creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving abilities of technology education
students. However, before exposing students to the design brief instructional
method, it is important for teachers to provide guided experiences through problem solving
processes and the technological method of problem solving. |

With a knowledge of problem solving and the design process students can design
solutions to realistic problems presented by the teacher. This format is a way to
structure dynamic experiences which stimulate problem solving, creative thinking, and
develops critical thinking skills. |
