participation in discussion.
⩥ Client.
Answer: A person using the services of a professional person or
organization.
⩥ Creativity.
Answer: The ability to make or bring a new concept or idea into
existence; marked by the ability or power to create.
⩥ Criteria.
Answer: A means of judging. A standard, rule, or test by which
something can be judged.
⩥ Constraint.
Answer: 1. A limit to a design process. Constraints may be such things
as appearance, funding, space, materials, and human capabilities. 2. A
limitation or restriction.
⩥ Design.
Answer: 1. An iterative decision-making process that produces plans by
which resources are converted into products or systems that meet human

Answer: A written plan that identifies a problem to be solved, its criteria,
and its constraints. Encourage thinking of all aspects of a problem before
attempting a solution.
⩥ Design Process.
Answer: 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.
Answer: 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.
