| Design Brief | A written plan that identifies a problem to be solved, its criteria, and its constraints. The design brief is used to encourage thinking of all aspects of a problem before attempting a solution |
| Design Process | 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 | A part of the design brief that clearly and concisely identifies a client’s or target consumer’s problem, need, or want |
| Designer | A person who designs any variety of things. This usually implies the task of creating drawings or in some ways using visual cues to organize his or her work |
| Detail Drawing | A dimensioned, working drawing of a single part, also referred to as part drawing |
| Ecosystem | A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment |
| Emphasis | Special importance, value, or prominence given to something |
| Engineer | A person who is trained in and uses technological and scientific knowledge to solve practical problems |
| Engineer's Notebook | A record of design ideas generated in the course of an engineer’s employment that others may not claim as their own. It is an archival record of new ideas and engineering achievements. |
| English System | Also referred to as the US Customary system. The measuring system is based on the foot, second, and pound as units of length, time, weight, or mass |
| Environmental Protection Agency | EPA is the acronym for Environmental Protection Agency ☺ 13) Ergonomics- The study of workplace equipment design or how to arrange and design devices, machines, or workspace so that the people and things interact safely and most efficiently |

| Ethical | Conforming to an established set of principles or accepted professional standards of contract |

| Mode | The value that occurs most frequently in a given data set |
| Model | A visual, mathematical, or 3D representation in detail of an object or design, often smaller than the original. A model is often used to test ideas, make changes to a design, and to learn more about what would happen to a similar, real object |
| Market Research | The activity of gathering information about consumers’ needs and preferences |
| Negotiation | Mutual discussion and arrangement of the terms of a transaction or agreement |
| Nominal Size | The designation of size established for a commercial product |

| Product | A tangible artifact produced by means of either human or mechanical work, or by biological or chemical process |
| Profile | The outline of something as seen from one side |
| Normal Distribution | A function that represents the distribution of many random variables as a symmetrical bell-shaped graph. |
| Problem Statement | A part of the design process that challenges the designer; describes what a design should do without describing how to solve the problem, and identifies the degree to which the solution must be executed |
| Raw Material | Any natural resource that is used to make a finished product |
| Repeatability | The ability to replicate or duplicate a result |
| Research | The systematic study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions |
| Residue | A small amount of something that remains after the main part has gone or been taken or used |
| Standard | Something considered by an authority or by general consent as a basis of comparison |

| Software Piracy | The illegal copying, distribution or use of software |
| Whistle Blowing | When a person raises a concern about wrongdoing occurring in an organization or body of people |
