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.
isometric sketch
design process
multiview sketch
thumbnail sketch
Working together on a common purpose.
solution
collaboration
iterations
three-dimensional
An internationally recognized (decimal) measuring system that is based on the meter, liter, gram, and Celsius as units of length, volume, mass, and temperature.
design artifacts
metric system (SI)
cerebral palsy
US Customary Standard System
A systematic problem-solving strategy that designers follow to come up with a solution to a problem.
dimensioning
decision matrix
design process
spastic hemiplegia
A brace that corrects alignment or provides support to correct a disorder of the limbs or spine.
orthosis
iterations
prototype
hatch marks
Close to the true value.
iterations
collaboration
solution
accurate
A form of math notation or a mark to indicate a unit of measurement. It is also known as a hash mark or tick mark.
orthosis
prototype
decision matrix
hatch marks
A British-based measuring system that uses units such as inch, yard, mile, gallon, and Fahrenheit.
US Customary Standard System
design artifacts
cerebral palsy (CP)
metric system (SI)
A condition that affects body movement and coordination. It is caused by brain injury or brain malformation that occurs before, during, or immediately after birth when an infant's brain is still developing.
design artifacts
isometric sketch
team norms
cerebral palsy (CP)
Repeating a process to yield results successively closer to the goal.
orthosis
dimensioning
dimensions
iterations
A tool for comparing design solutions against one another, using specific criteria that are based on project requirements.
decision matrix
hatch marks
dimensioning
design process
Guidelines that are developed by a team regarding how they are to interact, communicate, and conduct themselves as part of the team.
design artifacts
cerebral palsy (CP)
team norms
hatch marks
A preliminary visual of an idea for a design. Most thumbnail sketches are not full size and have little detail. Their purpose is to help quickly explore possible alternative designs.
