The results found that there were statistically significant differences at the level of (0.05) between the professor’s evaluation of the designs to achieve the evaluation aspects (the foundations and elements of the design, the aesthetic aspect, the functional aspect, and the innovative aspect). There were also statistically significant differences at the level of (0.05) between the consumer’s evaluation of the designs to fulfill the evaluation items, with a correlation between the opinions of professors and the opinions of the consumers of the designs, The value of (R = 0.506), which is statistically significant at the level of significance (0.01), is a direct relationship, meaning that there is agreement between the evaluation from a scientific and practical perspective.
