Inventions/Innovations
Insightful, persistent people who view obstacle or problems that occur through the inventive process as challenges to overcome.
What is an Inventor?
The rapid development of ideas created without criticism
What is Brainstorming?
A written plan that identifies the problem to be solved and the criteria and constraints related to the problem
What is a Design Brief?
A precise and detailed drawing of an object, as employed in architecture or engineering
What is Technical Drawing?
Using inventions and innovations and the engineering design process to meet human needs and solve problems
What is Technology?
An aerospace engineer has just described the newest design version of a device to launch rockets
What is Innovation?
A brainstorming technique based on the notion that everything new is a modification of something that already exists.
What is SCAMMPERR Method?
The NEXT step if a design does not work as intended in order to identify the areas that need improving
What is Troubleshooting?
A quick, non-detailed drawing done with pencil and paper
What is a Sketch?
Forces that are applied to a structure such as textbooks on our bridge
What is Load?
Quality that an inventor will most likely have
What is Curiosity?

What are Brainstorming Techniques?
A three-dimensional model of a proposed product that functions like the final product should
What is a Prototype?
Surface of an isometric that can be seen in all three different views of an orthographic drawing
What is Oblique Surface?
A Company is designing a truss bridge with new materials. This product would help them economically test the new design.
What is a Prototype?
A manufacturing firm has developed a new machine that will allow scientists to study organisms in a way never before imagined.
What is Invention?
Write each idea down and move on
More ideas=quality ideas
No positive or negative comments allowed
Outrageous and unimportant ideas should be recorded
What are Characteristics of Brainstorming?
Involves a set of steps that can be performed in different sequences and repeated when necessary
What is Design Process?
The point in which all three axes cross, typically a good starting point for technical drawings to create a base for the drawing
What is the Origin?
A measurable extent of some kind, such as length, breadth, depth, or height
What is Dimension?
A cellphone company has doubled the battery life and added a memory card to an existing cellphone
What is Innovation?
Brainstorming technique that would be best for Becky, who is very shy and has a hard time getting others to hear her, to share her ideas in the group.
What is Round Robin?
Step of the Engineering Design Process in which requirements and limitations are considered and identified
What is Identify Criteria and Constraints?
Front, Top, Right Side
What are Orthographic Views
Works with applying scientific knowledge, mathematics, and ingenuity to develop solutions for technical societal and commercial problems
What is an Engineer?
