| Society | Creates design problems. |
| Engineering Design | Finding the best possible solution given a specific problem and criteria. |
| Problem statement | Outlines the problem in clear terms. |
| Constraints | Information included in the design brief. |
| Brainstorming | Most effective when done in groups. |
| Orthographic | A drawing that shows what a part will look like from a given direction. |
| Specification sheets | Used in the final solution or output stage to communicate necessary technical information to the builder or manufacturer of the product. |
| Problem definition | Arguably the most important step in the design process. Large amounts of time and money are wasted if mistakes are made at this step. |
