Engineering Process
100
This type of sketch shows an object from more than one side, such as the front, top, and right side.
What is a multiview sketch?
100
A limitation, boundary, or guideline that a design process or solution must address.
What is a constraint?
100
Isometric paper does not have these traditional lines.
What are horizontal lines?
100
This type of engineer designs and builds roads, bridges, dams, and other public structures.
What is a civil engineer?
100
This is the step where engineers identify the need and constraints before solving a problem.
What is "Ask"?
200
This view shows what the object looks like from above.
What is the top view?
200
The use of a computer to assist in the process of designing a part, circuit, building, etc.
What is CAD or Computer Aided Drafting?
200
These engineers create and use medical devices, prosthetics, and diagnostic tools to improve human health.
What are biomedical engineers?
200
This type of engineer works with machines, engines, tools, and moving parts.
What is a mechanical engineer?
200
This step involves learning more about the problem before creating a solution.
What is "Research"?
300
This type of sketch shows an object in 3D using three axes, often drawn with vertical lines and angled lines.
What is an isometric sketch?
300
A full-scale working model used to test a design concept by making actual observations and necessary adjustments.
What is a prototype?
300
3D Printers move in what 3 axis?
What are x, y, and z?
300
This type of engineer designs electrical systems, circuits, power systems, and electronics.
What is an electrical engineer?
300
During this step, engineers brainstorm possible solutions to the problem.
What is "Imagine"?
400
When shading an isometric view, this should stay consistent so the object looks realistic and shows depth.
What is the light source or direction of light?
400
A measuring instrument having two adjustable jaws typically used to measure diameter or thickness.
What is a dial caliper?
400
What is the measurement?
What is 1.353 inches?
400
This type of engineer helps design solutions that protect the environment, such as clean water systems, pollution control, and recycling processes.
What is an environmental engineer?
400
This step comes after imagining solutions and involves selecting a promising solution.
What is "Plan"?
500
In isometric sketching, the angled lines are drawn at this angle from the horizontal line, and the three main directions are spaced this many degrees apart.
What are 30 degrees and 120 degrees?
500
A drawing that shows parts of an item when assembled.
What is an assembly drawing?
500
The practical application of science and mathematics to design, build, and optimize solutions, systems, or machines. It bridges the gap between scientific discovery and real-world application, functioning to solve problems within constraints like cost, safety, and available materials.
What is Engineering?
500
This type of engineer uses science and math to design aircraft, spacecraft, satellites, and rockets.
What is an aerospace engineer?
500
This step involves building a prototype, testing it, and making changes as needed.
What are "Create, Test, and Improve?"
