🗑
|
||||
| A person who designs any of a variety of things. This usually implies the task of creating drawings or in some ways uses visual cues to organize his or her work. | designer
🗑
|

| A process that repeats a series of steps over and over until the desired outcome is obtained. | iterative
🗑
|
||||
| A part of a design brief that challenges the designer, describes what a design solution should do without describing how to solve the problem, and identifies the degree to which the solution must be executed. | design statement
🗑
|

🗑
|
||||
| 1. Something established by authority, custom, or general consent as a model or example is called...or 2. Something set up and established by authority as a rule for the measure of quantity, weight, extent, value, or quality. | standard
🗑
|
||||
| A simple measure of variation in a set of random variables. It is the difference between the biggest and smallest random variable, is known as ________ | range
🗑
|
||||
| A 70 pound weight is place on a bathroom scale and the scale reports a weight of 70 pounds. This is an indication of the __________________________of the scale | accuracy
🗑
|
||||
| A 70 pound weight is placed on a bathroom scale five times. Each time the scale displays a weight of 67 pounds. Is this scale indicating a higher degree of accuracy or of precision? | precision
🗑
|
||||
| The mental representation and manipulation of two- and three-dimensional objects is called | spatial visualization
🗑

| A solid modeling technique where geometry is subtracted from existing model geometry. | subtractive modeling
🗑
|
||||
| A solid modeling technique where geometry is added to existing model geometry. | additive modeling
🗑
|
||||
| A strategy in which geometry is defined in such a way that changes produce desired, predictable results. | design intent
🗑
|
||||
| A drawing which contains views of an object projected onto two or more orthographic planes. | multiview drawing

🗑
|
||||
| It shows the location of a hole, cylinder, or other round features on a drawing as a pair of perpendicular lines that cross at the center of a feature. | center mark
🗑
|
||||
| A process that uses a computer to assist in designing something, such as a part, circuit, or building. | CAD computer-aided design
🗑
|
||||
| The result of taking away or removing characteristics from something in order to reduce it to a set of essential characteristics is known as___________ | abstraction
🗑
|
||||
