things as appearance, funding, space, materials, and human capabilities. 2. A limitation or
restriction.




Design - CORRECT ANSWER ✔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

something before it is built or made. 3. A decorative pattern.




Design Brief - CORRECT 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 - CORRECT 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 - CORRECT 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.




Designer - CORRECT ANSWER ✔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 - CORRECT ANSWER ✔A person who is trained in and uses technological and
scientific knowledge to solve practical problems.




Engineering Notebook - CORRECT ANSWER ✔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 - CORRECT ANSWER ✔An improvement of an existing technological product,
system, or method of doing something.
