A

A full-scale working model used to test a design concept by making actual observations and necessary adjustments

17
Q

Design Process

A

A systematic problem-solving strategy, with criteria and constraints, used to develop many possible solutions to solve a problem or satisfy human needs and wants and to winnow (narrow) down the possible solutions to one final choice
