Design Process
This engineering process helps turn creative ideas into workable solutions.
Design Process
A box plot shows the center and this of a data set.
Variability (spread)
Hitting close to the target center measures this.
Accuracy
A quick, realistic drawing used to communicate design intent is called this.
Concept sketch
CAD stands for this.
computer-aided design
The design process is rarely linear because engineers often repeat steps in this way.
Iteration
The middle value of an ordered data set is called this.
Median
Repeated launches landing close together demonstrate this.
Precision
The best front view usually shows the longest dimension and this feature.
shape
Modeling by removing material from a solid is called this method.
subtractive
These clearly define what a successful design solution must do.
Criteria
This statistic measures the spread between Q1 and Q3.
IQR
Accuracy can only be evaluated when there is a defined ______
target or standard
This type of sketch shows width, depth, and height.
Isometric
Modeling by adding material to a form is called this method.
additive
Returning to an earlier step in the design process to improve a solution is called this.
Iteration
An extreme value that differs greatly from other data points is called this.
Outlier
This measurement estimates precision by showing the spread of launch data.
range
Shading creates realism by representing this element
Creating separate components before modeling complex objects supports this design approach.
top-down
Engineers use this type of thinking to develop innovative solutions to problems.
Creative thinking
Orthographic projections commonly show how many views?
In an isometric sketch, width and depth lines are drawn at:
30 degrees
This skill helps engineers imagine objects in three dimensions.
spacial visualization
This is why correct units must be selected before starting a CAD model.
