Q: Creativity
Ans: The ability to make or bring a new concept or idea into existence; marked
by the ability or power to create.
Q: Criteria
Ans: A means of judging. A standard, rule, or test by which something can be
judged.
Q: Constraint
Ans: 1. A limit to a design process. Constraints may be such things as

restriction.
Q: Design
Exampromax - Stuvia US
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.
Q: 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.
Q: 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.
Q: 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.
Q: Designer
, 3 Exampromax - Stuvia US
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.
Q: Engineer
Ans: A person who is trained in and uses technological and scientific knowledge
to solve practical problems.
Q: 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.
Q: Innovation
Ans: An improvement of an existing technological product, system, or method

of doing something.
Q: Invention
Ans: A new product, system, or process that has never existed before, created by
study and experimentation.
Q: Iterative
Ans: A process that repeats a series of steps over and over until the desired
outcome is obtained.
Q: Valid
Ans: Well-founded on evidence and corresponds accurately to the real world.
