Assess To thoroughly and methodically analyze
accomplishment against specific goals and criteria.
Assessment An evaluation technique for technology that requires
analyzing benefits and risks, understanding the
trade-offs, and then determining the best action to
take in order to ensure that the desired positive
outcomes outweigh the negative consequences.
Techniques used to analyze accomplishments against
specific goals and criteria.
Brainstorm A group technique for solving problems, generating
ideas, stimulating creative thinking, etc. by
unrestrained spontaneous participation in discussion.
Client A person using the services of a professional person
or organization
Creativity The ability to make or bring a new concept or idea
into existence; marked by the ability or power to
create.
Criteria A means of judging. A standard, rule, or test by which
something can be judged.
Constraint 1. A limit to a design process. May be such things as
appearance, funding, space, materials, and human
capabilities. 2. A limitation or restriction.
,Design 1. An iterative decision-making process that produces
plans by which resources are converted into
products or systems that meet human needs and
wants or solve problems. 2. A plan or drawing
produced to show the look and function or workings
of something before it is built or made. 3. A
decorative pattern.
Design Process A systematic problem-solving strategy, with criteria
and constraints, used to develop many possible
solutions to solve a problem or satisfy human needs
and wants and to winnow (narrow) down the possible
solutions to one final choice.
Design Statement A part of a design brief that challenges the designer,
describes what a design solution should do without
describing how to solve the problem, and identifies
the degree to which the solution must be executed.
Designer A person who designs any of a variety of things. This
usually implies the task of creating drawings or in
some ways uses visual cues to organize his or her
work.
Engineer A person who is trained in and uses technological
and scientific knowledge to solve practical problems.
Engineering Notebook A book in which an engineer will formally document,
in chronological order, all of his/her work that is
associated with a specific design project.
Innovation An improvement of an existing technological
product, system, or method of doing something.
Invention A new product, system, or process that has never
existed before, created by study and
experimentation.
, Iterative A process that repeats a series of steps over and
over until the desired outcome is obtained.
Piling-on An idea that produces a similar idea or an enhanced
idea.
Problem Identification The recognition of an unwelcome or harmful matter
needing to be dealt with.
Product A tangible artifact produced by means of either
human or mechanical work, or by biological or
chemical process.
Prototype A full-scale working model used to test a design
concept by making actual observations and
necessary adjustments.
Research The systematic study of materials and sources in
order to establish facts and reach new conclusions.
Valid Well-founded on evidence and corresponds
accurately to the real world.
Justifiable Capable of being shown as reasonable or merited
according to accepted standards.
Cabinet Pictorial A drawing where depth is represented as half scale
compared to the height and width scale.
Cavalier Pictorial A drawing where height, width, and depth are
represented at full scale.
Center Line A line which defines the center of arcs, circles, or
symmetrical parts.
Construction Line Lightly drawn lines to guide drawing other lines and
shapes.
