Chapter 3
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Brainstorming | a group problem-solving technique that involves the spontaneous contribution of ideas from all members of the group; also : the mulling over of ideas by one or more individuals in an attempt to devise or find a solution to a problem. |
| Computer simulation | Simulation engineering is a broad term used to describe computer simulation technologies and programs used to model engineering projects and evaluate the risks and benefits in a virtual environment. |
| Computer-aided Design (CAD) | CAD, or computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), is the use of computer technology for design and design documentation. CAD software replaces manual drafting with an automated process. |
| Computer numerical control (CNC) | CNC means Computer Numerical Control. This means a computer converts the design produced by Computer Aided Design software (CAD), into numbers. The numbers can be considered to be the coordinates of a graph and they control the movement of the cutter. |
| Design Brief | A design brief is a written document for a design project developed by a person or team (the 'designer' or 'design team') in consultation with the 'client'. |
| Detail Drawing | a drawing, at relatively large scale, of a part of a building, machine, etc., with dimensions or other information for use in construction. |
| Engineering Notebook | An engineering notebook is basically any sort of bound book that contains notes, data, calculations, and other information based on first-hand observations of various tests or experiments. |
| Ideation | Ideation is the creative process of generating, developing, and communicating new ideas, where an idea is understood as a basic element of thought that can be either visual, concrete, or abstract. |
| Mechanical Drawing | An engineering drawing, a type of technical drawing, is used to fully and clearly define requirements for engineered items. Engineering drawing (the activity) produces engineering drawings (the documents). |
| Multiview Drawing | In technical drawing and computer graphics, a multiview projection is a technique of illustration by which a standardized series of orthographic two-dimensional pictures is constructed to represent the form of a three-dimensional object. |
| Orthographic Drawing | An orthographic drawing is a method that allows someone to represent a three-dimensional object on a two-dimensional piece of paper. By drawing the object for a various angles, the artist is able to show how the object looks in the real world. |
| Pictorial Drawing | An Isometric drawing is a pictorial representation of an object in which all three dimensions are drawn at full scale. |
| Problem Statement | A problem statement is a clear concise description of the issue(s) that need(s) to be addressed by a problem solving team. It is used to center and focus the team at the beginning, keep the team on track during the effort. |
| Prototype | A prototype engineer is typically responsible for overseeing the process of designing and developing a prototype product. |
| Rapid Prototyping | Rapid prototyping is a group of techniques used to quickly fabricate a scale model of a physical part or assembly using three-dimensional computer aided design (CAD) data. |
| Rendering | In 3-D graphic design, rendering is the process of add shading, color and lamination to a 2-D or 3-D wireframe in order to create life-like images on a screen. |
| Reverse Engineering | the reproduction of another manufacturer's product following detailed examination of its construction or composition. |
| Sketch | A graphical language used by engineers and other technical personnel associated with the engineering profession. |
| Specifications Sheets | A cut sheet is a general term for a few pages of specifications, instructions, dimensions, etc. that apply to a certain technical product or product line, generally shipped with the product. |
| 3-D Model | Model engineering is the pursuit of constructing proportionally-scaled working representations of full-sized machines in miniature. |
