100

A graphical representation of an idea that can quickly communicate design intent and details.

What is a concept sketch?

100

A systematic problem-solving strategy with criteria and constraints used to develop many possible solutions and narrow them down to one final choice.

What is a design process?

100

 A type of drawing that represents a three-dimensional object on a two-dimensional surface, where the three principal axes are equally inclined to the plane of projection.

What is an isometric drawing?

100

The base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI).

What is a meter?

100

This software is used for creating precise drawings and technical illustrations, often used in engineering and architecture.

What is CAD (Computer-Aided Design)?

200

Notes written on the concept sketch to further explain the sketch or idea.

What are annotations?

200

A written plan that identifies a problem to be solved, its criteria, and its constraints.

What is a design brief?

200

A type of drawing where the front face of the object is drawn true to scale, and the depth is represented on an angle, typically 45 degrees.

What is an oblique drawing?

200

This unit is commonly used in the United States to measure length and is equivalent to 12 inches.

What is a foot?

200

This process in CAD involves extending a 2D sketch along a straight path to create a 3D object.

What is extruding?

300

The side of the object that has the most distinctive shape and/or the longest dimension.

What is the front view?

300

A tool used to compare design solutions against one another using specific criteria.

What is a decision matrix?

300

A type of technical drawing that shows multiple views of an object, typically including the top, front, and side views.

What are multi-view drawings?

300

This tool is used to measure the thickness, diameter, or depth of an object with high precision, often to the nearest thousandth of an inch or hundredth of a millimeter.

What is a dial caliper?

300

This CAD technique involves rotating a 2D profile around an axis to create a symmetrical 3D object.

What is revolving?

400

The process of creating a value scale using pencils to determine the darkness of shading.

What is the first step in tonal shading?

400

Drawings that provide technical information necessary to produce a product, including material, size, shape, and assembly.

What are technical drawings?

400

In this type of drawing, the angles between the axes are all 120 degrees.

What is a characteristic of isometric drawings?

400

 This unit is used to measure mass in the SI system and is equivalent to 1,000 grams.

What is a kilogram?

400

This term refers to the initial 2D shape or outline that is used as the basis for creating 3D models in CAD.

What is a sketch?

500

Areas closest to this will be lighter, and areas further from it will be darker.

What is the light source?

500

The process of constructing a testable prototype, planning prototype testing, and analyzing test data.

What is constructing and testing a prototype?

500

This type of drawing can be classified into two types: cavalier and cabinet, based on the scale of the depth axis.

What are the two types of oblique drawings?

500

This unit is used to measure volume in the US customary system and is equivalent to 128 fluid ounces.

What is a gallon?

500

In CAD, this feature allows you to add material to a part by extending a sketch in one or more directions.

What is an extrusion feature?
