Intro to Design Vocab pt 1

An accurate representation of an object or phenomenon. Models can be visual, physical, mathematical, or computational and are often used in the development of scientific theories or the engineering of artifacts.

• multiview sketch

• orthosis

• isometric sketch

• model

Having the dimensions of height, width, and depth.

• three-dimensional

• dimensioning

• collaboration

• dimensions

A measurement of height, width, or depth.

• solution

• dimensioning

• iterations

• dimensions

a neuromuscular condition in which muscles on one side of the body are in a constant state of contraction.

• decision matrix

• design process

• hatch marks

• spastic hemiplegia

The answer to a problem or opportunity.

• dimensions

• collaboration

• solution

• iterations

A working model used to test a design concept by making observations and necessary adjustments.

• iterations

• prototype

• hatch marks

• orthosis

Adding dimensions to a sketch, using arrows to specify the extent of the dimension.

• dimensioning

• three-dimensional

• dimensions

• iterations

A sketch, typically including the top, front, and right primary views of an object that are drawn using orthographic projections. An isometric sketch of the object is often included.

• isometric sketch

• multiview sketch

• thumbnail sketch

• decision matrix

A group of documentation that can include client interview responses, observations, research, design drawings, prototypes, photos, videos, test results, or satisfaction surveys.

• design artifacts

• decision matrix

• cerebral palsy (CP)

• team norms

A sketch in which an object's parallel edges are drawn with parallel lines, typically at 30-degree angles to the horizontal baseline. There are no vanishing points, and three sides of the object can be seen simultaneously.
