Design Brief - Correct Answers 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 Answers 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 Answers 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 Answers 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 Answers A person who is trained in and uses technological and scientific knowledge to solve practical problems.Engineering Notebook - Correct Answers 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 Answers An improvement of an existing technological product, system, or method of doing something.Invention - Correct Answers A new product, system, or process that has never existed before, created by study and experimentation.Iterative - Correct Answers A process that repeats a series of steps over and over until the desired outcome is obtained.Valid - Correct Answers Well-founded on evidence and corresponds accurately to the real world.open-looped - Correct Answers a system that has to have input each time the system is used feedback - Correct Answers fourth step of a system 2 / 3
