7. Process A systematic series of steps engineers use to solve a problem, from defining it through testing a solution.
8. An early sample or model of a design used to test and refine an idea.
10. Notebook A chronological, dated record of research, ideas, sketches, and decisions; entries are never erased.
11. The limits a design solution must stay within.
12. Statement A clear, concise description of the problem to be solved, including its context and goals.

1. To judge how well a finished solution meets its criteria and constraints.
2. Repeating and refining a design based on feedback, testing, or new information.
3. Generating many possible ideas quickly, without judgment or criticism.
4. A compromise made between competing criteria or constraints.
6. To improve or adjust a design based on evaluation.
9. Gathering existing information to inform design decisions and avoid reinventing solutions.
