The engineering design loop, is really more of a web. There is no one correct design process. My personal process thus far in this project has been:
Generate Concepts -> Define Problems -> Recognize Need -> Gatherer Info -> Generate Concepts

Critical Constraints
After reflection upon the task that lies ahead, a few critical constraints were identified.
- Time (this project needs to be completed by May 30, 2014)
- Monetary (it is very easy to go over budget with a project like this)
- Functionality (the project needs to actually do what is supposed to do)
- Quality (I am a bit of a perfectionist)
- Environmental (what good is an energy saving windmill if it is made from mercury and lead)
These constraints will shape the remainder of this project.
