Term | Definition |
---|---|
Brainstorming | Process of generating ideas in order to develop solutions. |
Computer Simulation | Type of simulation used for testing because it keeps relatively little time and money to set up and run, but much can be learned. |
Computer-Aided Design | Software that creates 3-D drawings of design solution. |
Computer Numerical Control | Equipment used to convert CDA models into 3-D shapes. |
Design Brief | Document that guides the design process and includes constraints, such as size,cost,and quality. |
Detail Drawing | Technical drawings that accurately communicates size and shape and usually includes specific dimensions for others to see. |
Engineering Design | Creative application of technology to design a system, product, or process to solve a given problem or meet a given need. |
Engineering Notebook | Notebook used to record all the information ,engineering notebooks can be legal documents. |
Ideation | Process of generating ideas. |
Mechanical Drawing | Highly accurate technical drawing meant to communicate the size and shape of objects in great detail. |
Multiview Drawing | Drawing with true shape that shows what a part will look like from a given direction. |
Orthographic Drawing | Drawing with true shape that shows what a part will look like from a given direction. |
Pictorial Drawing | Drawing that shows a single view of an object in a way that makes it look 3-D ,as your eye would see it. |
Problem Statement | Document that outlines the problem in clear terms, but it is not so specific that it limits creativity in design. |
Prototype | Physical model of a final product or some aspect of a product. |
Rapid Prototyping | Way of creating 3-D models that uses machines and builds by laying down many thin layers of material until the entire shape has been created. |
Rendering | Full-color drawing that shows what the object will look like in a given light. |
Reverse Engineering | Method of determining the properties or function of a device. |
Sketch | Simple drawing used in the idea generation stage to record and communicate ideas so they can be refined further in the solution creation step. |
Specification Sheet | Design requirement of an engineered solution. |
Three-Dimensional | Type of model that can be made out of products like clay, plastic, wood, and foam, or can be drawn using 3-D CAD software. |
