ETS 1 Design Process Vocab

decision matrix

• A tool for systematically ranking alternatives according to a set of criteria.

• processes that change the properties of a material by altering its internal structure. These processes use heat, mechanical force, or chemical action to change the hardness, corro- sion resistance, strength, or other property of a material.

• Pushing a material through a shaped nozzle or die

• The act(s) of safe operation of machinery and/or tools

Define Problem

• Origin of the message

• The act(s) of safe operation of machinery and/or tools

• The step in the Design Process where you define the client, designer, problem, criteria and constraints, and deliverables.

• Pushing a material through a shaped nozzle or die

Develop a solution

• Retrieves decoded message

• The step in the Design Process where you create a detailed explanation, justify your choice, make a technical drawing, and create a model.

• The act(s) of safe operation of machinery and/or tools

• Ratio between a model drawing and the actual object

Technical Drawing

• whatever you put into a system

• Origin of the message

• The act(s) of safe operation of machinery and/or tools

• A detailed drawing that provides the information necessary to produce a product, including material, size, shape, assembly, etc.

Prototype

• The act(s) of safe operation of machinery and/or tools

• A model that functions like the final solution would

• whatever you put into a system

• Retrieves decoded message

Redesign

• Fix the areas that are not working

• a place where power or information leaves a system

• the ability to resist cuts scratches and dents

• the ability of a material to bend easily without breaking

Scale

• A machine completely controlled indepedently by a computer

• Decodes message into absorbable format

• Retrieves decoded message

• Ratio between a model drawing and the actual object

What is another word for constraints?

• Not varying

• Factors

• Stopped up

• Limits

Time, budget, and safety are almost always considered to be ________________.

• Trade-offs

• Criteria

• Constraints

• Efficiency

What is one word to describe criteria?
