F: Computer Science Flashcards
What are the key steps in the design process?
Understanding the problem, forming ideas (ideating), planning, creating, analyzing, testing, troubleshooting
These steps ensure a comprehensive approach to design.
What role does feedback play in the design process?
Feedback helps to ensure all needs are considered during the design process
It allows for adjustments and improvements based on stakeholder input.
Define an algorithm.
A sequence of instructions
Algorithms are fundamental to programming and problem-solving.
What are artifacts in the context of design?
Objects or products made by humans, machines, or computers through the process of design
Artifacts can include a wide range of outputs from the design process.
List some examples of artifacts produced by design.
- Algorithms
- Models
- Prototypes
- Blueprints
- Programs
- Experiments
- Objects
These artifacts represent various tangible outcomes of the design process.
True or False: Design can only deal with simple problems.
False
Design can handle complex problems as well.
What considerations are important in the design process?
Availability of materials and costs
These factors can significantly impact the feasibility and execution of a design.
Fill in the blank: Design involves processes that can transform ideas into _______.
[artifacts]
Artifacts are the final outputs that fulfill specific needs.
