PLTW Intro to Engineering Design MIDTERM
REVIEW
1. A group technique for solving problems, generating ideas, stimulating cre-
ative thinking, etc. by unrestrained spontaneous participation in discussion-
ANS Brainstorming
2. 1. A limit to a design process. may be such things as appear-
ance, funding, space, materials, and human capabilities. 2. A limitation or
restriction.
ANS Constraints
3. A tool used to a tool used to compare design solutions against one another,
using specific criteria.
ANS Decision Matrix
4. A written plan that identifies a problem to be solved, its criteria, and its
constraints. The is used to encourage thinking of all aspects of
a problem before attempting a solution.

, ANS Design Brief
5. 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.
ANS Design Process
6. 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.
ANS Engineer- ing Notebook
7. An improvement of an existing technological product system, or method of
doing something
ANS Innovation
8. A new product, system, or process that has never existed before, created by
study and experimentation.
ANS Invention
9. Oblique pictorial where depth is represented as half scale compared to the
height and width scale.
ANS Cabinet Pictorial
10.Oblique pictorial where height width and depth
