General Vocab
An improvement of an existing technological product, system, or method of doing something.
What is innovation?
A line type that represents an edge that is not directly visible, because it is behind or beneath another surface.
What is hidden line?
This is a measure of the spread of data values
What is standard deviation?
Linear back-and-forth motion
What is reciprocating?
Limitations such as budget, time, and materials must be considered for a responsible design, forcing engineers to make ethical trade-offs. (2 words)
What are Design Constraints?
An improvement of an existing technological product, system, or method of doing something.
What is an invention?
A form of pictorial sketch in which all three drawing axes form equal angles of 120 degrees with the plane of projection.
What is isometric sketch?
Which terms are typically used to describe the three measurements in 3D pictorial drawings?
What are width, height, and depth?
Back-and-forth movement in an arc
What is oscillation?
The environmental impact of the chosen materials.
What is sustainability?
A written plan that identifies a problem to be solved, its criteria, and its constraints. The design brief is used to encourage thinking of all aspects of a problem before attempting a solution.
What is a design brief?
Views of an object projected onto two or more orthographic planes.
What is multiview drawing?
When a measurement is repeatable and consistent, it is said to have this.
What is precision?
Motion where all particles of a body move with the same velocity along parallel paths.
What is translation?
Evaluating the consequences of production, usage, and disposal. (3 words)
What is Environmental Impact Analysis?
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.
What is design process?
A heavy solid line used on a drawing to represent the outline of an object.
What is an object line?
In CAD modeling, this is the symbol of a circle with a diagonal line through it.
What is diameter?
The six variables by which an object can move (three translations, three rotations).
What are Degrees of Freedom?
____________ Selection is choosing sustainable materials that minimize harmful impact
What is material?
Thin lines that serve as guides while sketching or drawing.
What is construction line?
A type of sketch involving a combination of a flat, orthographic front with depth lines receding at a selected angle, usually 45 degrees.
What is an oblique sketch?
The median of these numbers:
588

577
What is 588?
Provides a gradual rise and sudden drop
What is a snail cam?
