Geometry of Design
100

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 the Design Process

100
A flat surface on which a straight line joining any two points would wholly lie.
What is a Plane
100
A measuring instrument having two adjustable jaws typically used to measure diameter or thickness.
What is a Caliper
100
1. A manufacturing process that forces material through a shaped opening. 2. A modeling process that creates a three-dimensional form by defining a closed two-dimensional shape and a length.
What is an Extrusion
100
A measure of mass per volume.
What is Density
200
1. A limit to a design process. Constraints may be such things as appearance, funding, space, materials, and human capabilities. 2. A limitation or restriction.
What is Constraint
200
The representation of light and shade on a sketch or map.
What is shading
200
The degree of closeness of measurements of a quantity to the actual (or accepted) value.
What is Accuracy
200
A group of machined or handmade parts that fit together to form a self-contained unit.
What is an Assembly
200
The amount of three-dimensional space occupied by an object or enclosed within a container.
What is Volume
300
A written plan that identifies a problem to be solved, its criteria, and its constraints
What is a Design Brief
300
A measurable extent, such as the three principal dimensions of an object is width, height, and depth.
What is a Dimension
300
A diagram showing the relation between variable quantities, typically of two variables measured along a pair of lines at right angles.
What is a Graph
300
Creating a 3D solid or surface by revolving a 2D shape about an axis.
What is revolution or revolve
300
The number of square units required to cover a surface.
What is Area
400
An improvement of an existing technological product, system, or method of doing something.
What is Innovation
400
A form of pictorial sketch in which all three drawing axes form equal angles of 120 degrees with the plane of projection.
What is an Isometric Sketch
400
A line which represents distance.
What is a Dimension Line
400

An equation based on one dimension to produce other dimensions on a drawing. 

What is a parametric equation

400
1. A triangle located round a polygon such as a circle. 2 To draw a figure around another, touching it at points but not cutting it.
What is Circumscribe
500
A full-scale working model used to test a design concept by making actual observations and necessary adjustments.
What is a Prototype
500
A two-dimensional contour that characterizes an object or area, in contrast to three-dimensional form.
What is a Shape
500
The degree to which repeated measurements show the same result.
What is precision
500
Constant, non-numerical relationships between the parts of a geometric figure. Examples include parallelism, perpendicularity, and concentricity.
What is a Geometric Constraint
500
A curve formed at the interior intersection between two or more surfaces.
What is a Fillet
