,Client - ANS A person using the services of a professional person or organization.
Creativity - ANS The ability to make or bring a new concept or idea into existence; marked by
the ability or power to create.
Criteria - ANS A means of judging. A standard, rule, or test by which something can be
judged.
Constraint - ANS 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 - ANS 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 Brief - ANS 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 - ANS 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 - ANS 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 - ANS 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 - ANS A person who is trained in and uses technological and scientific knowledge to
solve practical problems.
@COPYRIGHT 2026 ALLRIGHTS RESERVED 2
, Engineering Notebook - ANS 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 - ANS An improvement of an existing technological product, system, or method of
doing something.
Invention - ANS A new product, system, or process that has never existed before, created by
study and experimentation.
Iterative - ANS A process that repeats a series of steps over and over until the desired
outcome is obtained.
Valid - ANS Well-founded on evidence and corresponds accurately to the real world.
open-looped - ANS a system that has to have input each time the system is used
feedback - ANS fourth step of a system
closed-looped - ANS a system that has feedback
process - ANS second step of a system
output - ANS third step of a system
subsystem - ANS smaller systems intergrated into a larger system
What are some important resources for engineering and technology? - ANS People,Energy,
Capital(Money), Information,Tools, Machines, Materials, and Time
