A human-made object

The transmission of information through a common system of symbols, signs, behavior, speech, writing, or signals

The act or process of building, erecting, or constructing buildings, roads, or other structures. 

The ability to do work. Energy is one of the basic resources used by a technological system

All the technology connected with plant and animal life

Using technological and scientific knowledge to solve practical problems.

The surroundings in which a person, animal, or plant lives

The study of workplace equipment design or how to arrange and design devices, machines, or workspace so that people and things interact safely and most efficiently.

Of, relating to, or resulting from industry.

An improvement of an existing technological product, system, or method of doing something.

A new product, system, or process that has never existed before, created by study and experimentation.

The process of making a raw material into a finished product; especially in large quantities.

The science of patterns and order and the study of measurement, properties, and the relationships of quantities using numbers and symbols.

The science and technology of building devices, such as electronic circuits, from single atoms and molecules.

Human activities used to create, invent, design, transform, produce, control, maintain, and use products or systems; a sequence of actions that combines resources to produce an output.

The study of our natural world through observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanations

A group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements or parts that function together as a whole to accomplish a goal.

The way people use resources to meet their wants and needs.

The process by which passengers or goods are moved or delivered from one place to another.

 During this step of the Design Process, team members take time to document whether they think this solution will work?

During this step of the Design Process, each team member creates several different options of how this problem can be solved.

During this step of the Design Process, engineers draw a detailed and labeled sketch of an idea for what might be created to solve the problem. 

A drawing which shows the front, top and right side views of a shape.

A full-scale working model used to test a design concept by making actual observations and necessary adjustments.

A drawing in which vanishing points are used to provide the depth and distortion that is seen with the human eye.

The measurement or extent of something from side to side

The measurement of something from top to bottom.

A systematic problem-solving strategy, with criteria and constraints, used to develop many possible solutions to a problem or to satisfy human needs and wants and winnow (narrow) down the possible solutions to one final choice. 

During this step of the Design Process, engineers build a working prototype and test how it works.

 A 3D drawing in which all three drawing axes form equal angles of 120 degrees with the plane of projection. 

During this step of the Design Process, engineers gather all project documentation and share it with the customer.

 A tool for systematically ranking alternatives according to a set of criteria. 

A method of shared problem solving in which all members of a group spontaneously, and in an unrestrained discussion, generate ideas. 

Desired specifications (elements or features) of a product or system.

The measurement or extent of something from back to front. 

A limit to the design process. These may be such things as appearance, funding, space, materials, and human capabilities. 

To form an idea of the amount or value of; assess. 

During this step of the Design Process, engineers identify what is the question or problem that you and your classmates are trying to solve?

Step one of the design process is

Step two of the design process is

Step three of the design process is 

Step five of the design process is

Step four of the design process is...

The sixth and final step of the design process is 

Thin lines that serve as guides while sketching or drawing.

A line type that represents an edge that is not directly visible because it is behind or beneath another surface.

A form of pictorial drawing in which all three drawing axes form equal angles of 120 degrees with the plane of projection.

A method of representing three-dimensional objects on a plane having only length and width.

A preliminary visual of a possible idea for a design. Most of these sketches are not full-size and have little detail. They are intended to quickly explore possible alternative designs.
