Involves generating ideas in order to develop solutions. This can be done by an individual, but is more commonly and more effectively done in groups.

Used for testing because they take relatively little time and money to set up and run, but much can be learned.

Computer-aided design (CAD)

Designers use this to create drawings in order to communicate solutions to design problems.

Computer Numerical Control (CNC)

Converts the CAD models into 3-D shapes.

The creative application of technology to design a system, product, or process to solve a given problem or meet a given need.

Used to record all the thoughts, ideas, sketches, calculation, designs, and much more that has to do with the engineering process.

The process of generating ideas.

Are highly accurate technical drawings meant to communicate the size and shape of objects in great detail.

It is usually necessary to include more than one view of an object to completely communicate the shape and size.

Also known as multiview drawings are the true shape, and show what a part will look like from a given direction.

Show a single view of an object, but show it in a way that makes it look 3-D, as your eye would see it.

Outlines the problem in clear terms, but it is not so specific that it limits creativity in design.

Physical models of a final product or some aspect of a product.

Is increasingly popular because it is a fast and affordable way to move from design to prototype.

Full color drawing that shows what the object will look like in a given light.

The process of examining existing products or processes to gain information.

Usually made to record and communicate ideas so they can be refined further in the solution set up.

Provide the necessary technical information to the builder or manufacturer of the product.

Three-Dimensional (3-D) Model

Can be made by hand with Clay, plastic, wood or Foam or be created using CAD Software.
