Constraints A limit to the design process. Constraints may be such things as appearance, funding, space, materials, and human capabilities.
Consumer A person or household that purchases goods or services.
Criteria Desired specifications, elements or features, of a product or system.
Decision Matrix A tool for systematically ranking alternatives according to a set of criteria.
Design An interactive decision-making process that produces plans by which resources are converted into products or systems that meet human needs and wants or solve problems.
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 Elements The factors (e.g., line, color, light, shadow, space, texture) that define a product and take into account the aesthetics and function of the product.
Design Process A systematic problem-solving strategy, with criteria and constraints, used to develop many possible solutions to a problem or to satisfy human needs and wants and winnow (narrow) down the possible solutions to one final choice.
Designer A person who designs any of a variety of things.

Prototype A full-scale working model used to test a design concept by making actual observations and necessary adjustments.
Requirements The parameters placed on the development of a product or system. Such as: safety needs, the physical laws that will limit the development of an idea, the available resources, the cultural norms, and the use of criteria and constraints.
Research Systematic, scientific, documented study.
Specification A detailed description of the design and materials used to make something.
Testing A method for collecting data.
