What is a plane

100

A measuring instrument having two adjustable jaws typically used to measure diameter or thickness.

What is a dial 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.

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

What is a design brief

300

A drawing that is used to show the material, size, and shape of a product for manufacturing purposes.

What is a technical working drawing

300

A graph of vertical bars representing the frequency distribution of a set of data.

What is a histogram

300
The number of square units required to cover a surface.
What is Area

An improvement of an existing technological product, system, or method of doing something.

What is innovation

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

The distance of a value in a population (or sample) from the mean value of the population.

What is standard deviation

400

The ____________ command constrains a curve and another object so that they touch at a single point but never cross each other.

What is tangent

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 form of pictorial in which an object is represented as true width and height, but the depth can be any size and drawn at any angle.

What is an oblique sketch

500
The degree to which repeated measurements show the same result.
What is precision

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.
