What is the Design Process? - ANSWER: 1. Define Problem
2. Generate Concepts
3. Develop a Solution
4. Construct and Test Prototype
5. Evaluate Solution
6. Present Solution
What is a Design Process? - ANSWER: A systematic problem-solving strategy, with
criteria and constraints, used to develop many possible solutions to solve or satisfy
human needs or wants and to narrow down the possible solutions to one final
choice.
What is a Design Brief? - ANSWER: A written plan that identifies a problem to be
solved, its criteria and its constraints.
What is a Decision Matrix? - ANSWER: A tool used to compare design solutions
against one another using specific criteria.
What are technical drawings? - ANSWER: Drawings that provide technical
information necessary to produce a product. They include information such as
material, size shape, and assembly, of necessary.
What is a test report? - ANSWER: A report that includes the data and analysis of the
prototype testing.
What are project recommendations? - ANSWER: A list of recommendations to
optimize or redesign the solution.
What is a project portfolio? - ANSWER: A collection of documents selected for a
specific purpose.
What is an isometric pictorial? - ANSWER: A type of technical sketch that appears
three dimensional because it shows three sides on an object and is proportional to
the real object being drawn.
What is engineering? - ANSWER: Engineering is the application of mathematics and
scientific principles to better or improve life.
Different types of pictorals - ANSWER: Isometric, Oblique, and Perspective
, What is a cavalier oblique pictorial? - ANSWER: An oblique pictorial in which the
height, width, and depth are represented at full scale.
What is a cabinet oblique pictorial? - ANSWER: An oblique pictorial in which depth is
represented as half scale compared the the height and width scale.
What is an oblique pictorial? - ANSWER: A type of technical sketch in which the
width dimension is horizontal.
What is an isometric pictorial? - ANSWER: A type of technical sketch in which the
width dimension is not horizontal and it shows all three sides "equally". Three
adjacent faces share a single point.
What is the box method? - ANSWER: A technique used in sketching to maintain
proportionality. Starts with a sketcher envisioning an object contained within an
imaginary box.
What is a multiview drawing? - ANSWER: A drawing that shows two or more two-
dimensional views of a three-dimensional object.
Width - ANSWER: The measure of an object from side to side.
Height - ANSWER: The measure of an object from top to bottom.
Depth - ANSWER: The measure of an object from the front to the back.
What are perspective drawings? - ANSWER: A drawing that offers the most realistic
3d view of all the pictorial methods, since it portrays the object in a manner that is
most similar to how the human eye perceives the visual world.
Different types of perspective representations - ANSWER: one point, two point, three
point
One-Point Perspective Drawing - ANSWER: In this type of drawing, there is only one
vanishing point on the horizon line.
Two-Point Perspective Drawing - ANSWER: In this type of drawing, there are two
vanishing points, this is the most common type of drawing.
Three-Point Perspective Drawing - ANSWER: In this type of drawing, the view gets
either a worm's eye view or a bird's eye view of an object.
Perspective - ANSWER: The depth lines recede to a single vanishing point and the
width lines recede toward a vanishing point
