1. concensus general agreement
2. 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.
3. optimize make the best or most effective use of (a situation, oppor-
tunity, or resource).
4. graphic organiz- A visual display that demonstrates relationships between
er facts, concepts, or ideas. A graphic organizer guides the
learner's thinking as they fill in and build upon a visual map
or diagram
5. Engineering A way of thinking that affects how someone interacts with
Mindset a challenge, comes up with a solution to a problem, and
innovates on current technologies or systems.
6. Misconception A view or opinion that is incorrect because it is based on
faulty thinking or understanding.
7. collaboration Collaboration is the action of two or more people working
together through idea sharing to accomplish a common
goal.
8. Systems Think- Understanding a system by examining the connections
ing between the parts that compose the entirety of the system.
9. system A group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent el-
ements or parts that function together as a whole to ac-
complish a goal. Change happens if you add or remove a
part.
10. patent A government authority or license conferring a right or title
for a set period, especially the sole right to exclude others

11. Model An accurate representation of an object or phenomenon.
Models can be visual, physical, mathematical, or compu-
tational, and are often used in the development of scientific
theories or the engineering of artifacts.
12. conceptual mod- A visual representation of an idea. A conceptual model can
el be a sketch, concept map, schematic, flow chart, or any
other visual representation.
13. graphical model A pictorial representation (such as a picture, map, or tech-
nical drawing) used to convey detailed information. In engi-
neering, graphical models are created using standards of
engineering graphics to document a design and are often
referred to as technical drawings.
14. spatial Relating to, occupying, or having the character of space.
Spatial describes how objects fit together in space or down
here on Earth.
15. Subduc- The sideways and downward movement of the edge of a
tion(zone) plate of the Earth's crust into the mantle beneath another
plate.
16. simulate To reproduce the conditions of (a situation, etc). To use a
model to imitate certain conditions for purposes of study
or training.
17. Computational Habits that help people solve problems with computers.
Thinking Computational thinking habits encourage a person who is
facing a problem to ask how computers could help them be
more creative, to communicate, collaborate, use data or
the internet, or use crowdsourcing or simulation, to solve
a problem.
18. data validation A feature in Excel used to control what a user can enter
into a cell.
