, Page |3
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

, Page |4
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.
