- 34. are sets of skills and knowledge.
- 35. is a representation of some aspect of an idea, event, process, structure, or object.
- 36. is using your senses to gather information and take note of what occurs.
Down
- 1. components include factors that cannot be measured, such as appearance, regulatory compliance, and usefulness.
- 3. design is as effective or functional as possible.
- 4. concepts are themes that “cut across” different disciplines, tying them together in various ways.
