Closed System

A physical system that does not interact with other systems.

(Also called isolated system)

Collaboration The action of working with someone to produce or create something.

Conceptualization To form a distinct idea or ideas;

and especially to interpret something in an abstract way.

Design Brief

A design brief is a written document for a project developed in concert with the person needing the design.

Design Envelope Specified requirements that

define a system’s operational capabilities and limitations.

Efficiency

Achieving maximum productivity with minimum wasted effort or expense--especially of a system or machine.

Engineering

The branch of science and technology concerned with the design of buildings, engines, machines, materials, processes and structures.

Ergonomics• (Human factors)

The study of people's efficiency in their working environment so as to provide optimum comfort and to avoid stress or injury.

Integrated system

•A system that has combined different functions together in order to work as one entity.

Interface

A point of provision where two systems, subjects, organizations, etc., meet and interact.

Iteration

The repetition of a process or set of procedures until a specified condition is met.

Lateral Thinking

Lettering The act, art, or process of forming letters.

Mock-up

A model or replica of a machine or structure, used for instructional or experimental purposes.

Model A three-dimensional,

mathematical, or virtual representation of an idea or object-- typically on a smaller scale than the original.

Nomenclature A system of names or terms, or

the rules for forming these terms in a particular field of arts or sciences

Open System

A physical system that interacts with other systems

Optimal Match

The best possible choice of all option matches considering design requirements vs. tradeoffs.

System

A set of connected things or parts forming a complex whole, in particular.

Subsystem

•A self-contained system within a larger system.

Trade Off

A balance achieved between two desirable but incompatible features; a compromise.

Universal

Of, affecting, or done by all people or things in the world or in a particular group; applicable to all cases.

Usability

Serviceability: the quality of being able to provide good service

Universal Design Universal design refers to

ideas meant to create environments and products that are accessible to people with and without disabilities.

User Centered Design A design process in which the

needs, wants, and limitations of end users of a product are given extensive attention at each stage of the design process.

Virtual Reality Computer-generated

simulation of a three-dimensional environment that can be interacted with in a seemingly real or physical way.
