  1. 2. An idea or set of ideas used to explain a fact or event
  2. 3. The quality of being reproducible in amount or performance
  3. 6. The process of gathering or examining information systematically; generating data to provide evidence to support a claim based on a stated goal, predicted outcome, and planned course of action
  4. 8. A persuasive defense for an explanation or solution based on evidence and reasoning
  5. 9. A diagram, replica, mathematical representation, analogy, or computer simulation used to analyze a system for condition flaws, test a solution, visualize or refine a design, and/or communicate design features
  6. 13. The relationship between the size of an accurate representation of an object and the actual object itself
  7. 14. A visual representation of data or information
  8. 15. The inability of a device, process, or system to perform a required function
  9. 17. Data used to support a claim
  10. 19. Significant predictive features identified through analysis
  11. 20. A series of steps that form a pathway to a solution
  12. 21. To improve through small changes
  13. 22. Breaking an object or process into smaller parts to examine or evaluate systematically
  14. 23. The minimum or maximum permissible value
  15. 25. A systematic approach to solving a problem
  16. 26. A model that tests design performance
  17. 29. The use of a model to learn how a device, process or system will behave
  18. 32. What the design must do; may be used in place of criteria
  19. 34. Measurable and can be represented in numeric form; objective

  1. 1. To share information orally, in written form and/or graphically through various forms of media
  2. 4. Attributes of a design that can be measured; a set of standards upon which a decision is based
  3. 5. vocabulary:
  4. 7. To determine whether or not a design, model, process, system or theory meets the criteria as a possible solution
  5. 8. An evaluation of the cost, quality and/or ability of someone or something
  6. 10. To generate or to propose a possible solution; to create, fashion, execute, or construct
  7. 11. Consistently repeating the same measurement procedure on a system or part of a system with the same tool used under the same conditions by the same person
  8. 12. A detailed written record specific to the criteria needed to solve the problem; the technical information about “what” is needed to solve the problem but not “how” to solve it
  9. 16. The quality of being near to the true or desired value
  10. 18. A limitation or condition that must be satisfied by a design, including materials, cost, size, labor, etc.
  11. 24. The measurable relationship between a solution and the amount of resources it requires
  12. 27. A situation to be changed; a question raised for inquiry, consideration, or solution
  13. 28. A specific task that a system or part of a system performs or is intended to perform
  14. 30. An exchange of one idea for another that may involve losing a quality or aspect of a design
  15. 31. A logical, objective thought process based on data, information, and evidence to form a conclusion or judgment
  16. 33. To determine a future outcome
