A clear and concise identification and description of the design problem or opportunity.
What is a problem statement?
What is an isometric view of a cube?
A measuring instrument having two adjustable jaws typically used to measure diameter or thickness.
What is a dial caliper?
Adhesives, fasteners, joinery, threads and snap-fits.
What are commonly used joint types?
A problem solving principle that states the simplest solution is often the best solution.
What is Occam's Razor?
The step in the engineering design process is where we create a working model of our design.
What is the 4th step of the design process: construct and test prototype?
Show the visible edges of the object and components, including those exposed by the imaginary cut.
What are object lines?
The surface area for a cylinder with a diameter of 4.2 inches and a height of 5 inches.
What is 93.68 in?
Identical components that can be substituted for one another, particularly important in the history of manufacturing.
What are interchangeable parts?
The difference between the upper and lower limits.
What is tolerance?
A written plan that identifies a problem. This document is used to encourage thinking through all aspects of a solution.
What is a design brief?
A view that looks inside an object to show interior details that cannot be clearly described on orthographic projections.
What is a cross section?
In measurement, this is one-half of the smallest unit of measure (increment) on a device.
What is greatest possible error of measurement?
Moves an element sideways.
What is translate?
Some degree of this will always exist, and it is unavoidable.
What is variation?
A tool used in the second step 2 of the engineering design process. This tool is used to compare conceptual designs using a specific criteria.
What is the decision matrix?
What are the characteristics of an isometric sketch?
The acceptable amount of dimensional variation that will still allow an object to function correctly.
What is tolerance?
The point where a joint is applied and the point about which any motion occurs.
What is joint origin?
Interchangeable parts can be used.
What is one advantage of using tolerances?
The design process is _________. Meaning the path from identifying a problem to presenting a solution is rarely straightforward. Designers must evaluate, reflect, redefine, and redesign throughout the process. It is common to repeat steps of the design process several times before an optimal solution is found.
What is iterative?
What are the guidelines for selecting a front view? or What is the front of an object?
What is a=bxh?
Basic degrees of freedom or (DOF)
What is movement along the x, y and z axis?
Requires quality control and precise manufacturing.
What is small tolerances?
