Answer 2

an objective way to make a decision about a set of potential solutions

Answer 3

the systematic process of identifying what functions a system must perform, starting from a high level and breaking it down to low level function

Answer 4

a way to depict the different functions in a system and how they interact with each other to transform inputs and outputs

Answer 5

a way to look at different combinations of solutions for different functions/subsystems allows you to quickly explore different implementation combinations

Answer 6

a document that outlines the types of tests to be performed, inputs, data to be collected and how these tests will show that you are fulfilling the criteria/specifications originally defined

Answer 15

empathize, define, ideate, prototype, testing, implement

Answer 16

thinking about a complex system as a combination of components or processes that work together towards a common goal

Answer 17

identify outputs and inputs, processes that transform inputs to outputs

Answer 18

place all identified inputs together on one side of the diagram, place all identified outputs together on the opposite side, place all of the identified functions between the two and connect together to define the relationships between the functions

Answer 19

approximating the amount of a dimension by assigning it a numeric value and unit based on a set of assumtions used to simplify calculations during ideating or prototyping, allow for some degree of analysis if a measurement cannot be taken

Answer 20

Place all identified inputs together on one side of the diagram, place all identified outputs together on the opposite side, place all of the identified functions between the two and connect together to define the relationships between the functions
