# Engineering Design Process Categories

As mentioned in the [Understanding the Engineering Notebook Rubric section](), there 6 defined EDP categories that have independent scoring areas as described below.

* EDP Categories
  * [Identify the Problem](engineering-design-process-categories/identify-the-problem)
  * [Brainstorming / Evaluation](engineering-design-process-categories/brainstorm-diagram-or-prototype-solutions)
  * [Select Best Solution and Plan](engineering-design-process-categories/select-best-solution-and-plan)
  * [Build / Program](engineering-design-process-categories/build-and-program-the-solution)
  * [Test](engineering-design-process-categories/test-solution)
  * [Repeat Design Process](engineering-design-process-categories/repeat-design-process)

To help better understand what is being looked at and what will help garner a higher score in these focus areas, we will break each section down.
