What is the purpose of doing detailed drawings in Step 3 of the design process?
What is the purpose of doing detailed drawings in Step 3 of the design process?
To create a visual representation of the final product so it can be built in Step 4.
How do you use an Engineering Notebook in the design process?
How do you use an Engineering Notebook in the design process?
To document all stages of the design process, record observations, and keep track of progress. The notebook serves as a record of the complete design journey.

Study Notes
Midterm Exam Preparation
- Create a one-page study sheet, front and back, covering formulas, concepts, and conversion equations.
- Review notes, focusing on missed topics and challenging homework problems.
- Review course presentations (or videos) to identify any gaps in understanding.
- Re-write the study sheet in legible handwriting for easy review.
- Prioritize areas requiring more in-depth study.
Design Process
- Understand each step of the six-step design process, including the rationale behind each step (e.g., sketching in step 2 for idea generation or detailed drawings in step 3 for construction).
- Learn how to document a project in an engineering notebook following the design process.
- Understand the importance of an engineering notebook and proper note-taking methods.
Statistics
- Define and understand "significant digits" and their relation to calculations.
- Learn how to calculate mean, median, and mode manually.
- Learn how to calculate mean, median, mode, and standard deviation using appropriate tools (e.g., Google Sheets).
- Interpret standard deviation values: understand how a wide standard deviation relates to accuracy and precision and vice versa.
- Distinguish between accuracy and precision, and explain different definitions of precision.
Drawings
- Understand different types of perspectives (oblique, isometric, 1-point, 2-point) and their unique characteristics.
- Differentiate different sketching lines (object, construction, center, hidden, section lines) by their purpose and appearance.
- Understand what happens when object lines, hidden lines, and center lines overlap on a drawing.
- Master the creation of top, front, and right-side views in multiview drawings, including how to show hidden lines, holes, etc.
- Apply dimensioning rules correctly in multiview drawings, including identifying dimensions that do not conform to rules.
Measurements, Units, and Conversions
- Learn how to read metric and US rulers, and dial calipers.
- Convert between different units of measurement.
- Refer to the detailed Test #1 Review Sheet for further guidance.
- Understand the relationship between metric and Imperial units, as well as different scales.
Units, US to SI units
- Understand the difference between US customary and SI units.
- Apply unit conversion relationships correctly.
- Know how to define different prefixes (mega, kilo, centi, milli).
- Understand significant figures and estimation principles.
Properties of Solids
- Review the properties of solids (area, surface area, volume, mass, density, etc.) as covered within the test review sheet.
- Differentiate between how to calculate area, surface area, volume, mass, and density.
