Across
- 4. to determine a future outcome
- 7. to determine whether or not a design, model, process, system or theory meets to criteria as a possible solution
- 9. the quality of being near to the true or desired value
- 17. to determine significance
- 19. a predictive dependent relationship between variables that may be positive or negative. Changing a variable creates a corresponding change in another but doesn't imply causation
- 21. the use of a model to learn how the device, process or system will behave
- 22. an exchange of one idea or another that may involve losing a quality or aspect of a design
- 24. attributes of a design that can be measured; a set of standards upon which a decision is based
- 28. 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
- 34. quantifiable doubt about a measurement result
- 37. breaking an object or process into smaller parts to examine or evaluate systematically
- 38. a variable that is kept the same across all tests for use as the comparison standard
- 40. an idea or set of ideas used to explain a fact or event
- 42. 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
- 46. the extent to which data points differ from each other; how far apart or how close together
- 47. a predictable and consistent deviation from a value (true or accepted) or a process
- 48. to improve through small changes
- 50. the quality of being reproducible in amount or performance
- 51. a limitation or condition that must be satisfied by a design, including materials, cost, size, labor, etc
- 53. 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
- 55. analyze a past course of action, process, or experience in order to generate a future improvement or modification
- 56. the capability of someone or something to help solve a problem
- 57. the closeness between the average value of a large series of measurements results and the true or reference value; quantitative
Down
- 1. a visual representation of data or information

- 12. a suggestion about or connection to a future outcome that isn't stated directly
- 13. the minimum or maximum permissible value
- 14. the difference between a measured value and its true or accepted value
- 15. the ability of a device, process or system to perform an intended function without failure for a given time under specified operating conditions
- 16. measurable and can be represented in numeric form; objective
- 18. a situation to be changed; a question raised for inquiry, consideration, or solution
- 20. the measurable relationship between a solution and the amount of resources it requires
- 23. a persuasive defense for an explanation or solution based on evidence and reasoning
- 25. the consistent ability of a tool to reproduce the same measurement on a system under the same conditions no matter who operates the tool
- 26. a series of steps that form a pathway to a solution
- 27. what the designs must do; may be used in place of criteria
- 29. an unpredictable result from a consistent measurement process
- 30. a model that tests design performance

- 32. to share information orally, in written form and/or graphically through various forms of media
- 33. non-measurable and described through observation; subjective
- 35. 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
- 36. a response made to a question and in the process of answering that question
- 39. to become aware of an occurrence using the senses
- 41. the inability of a device, process, or system to perform a required function
