|---|---|
 Accuracy | the quality of nearness to the truth or the true value |
| Consensus | agreement in the judgment or opinion reached by a group as a whole |
| Design Brief | A written plan that identifies a problem to be solved, its criteria, and its constraints. The design brief is used to encourage thinking of all aspects of a problem before attempting a solution. |
| Design Process | A systematic problem-solving strategy, with criteria and constraints, used to develop many possible solutions to solve a problem or satisfy human needs and wants and to winnow (narrow) down the possible solutions to one final choice. |
| Pneumatics | the branch of mechanics that deals with the mechanical properties of gases |
| Problem Statement | A part of a design brief that clearly and concisely identifies a client's or target consumer's problem, need, or want. |
| Design Statement | A part of 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. |

| Purpose | what something is used for |
| Assembly Drawing | A drawing that shows the various parts of an item when assembled. |
| Multiview Drawing | Views of an object projected onto two or more orthographic planes. |
| Solid Modeling | A type of 3D CAD modeling that represents the volume of an object, not just its lines and surfaces. This allows for analysis of the object's mass properties. |
| Component | an artifact that is one of the individual parts of which a composite entity is made up |
| Decision Matrix | A tool for systematically ranking alternatives according to a set of criteria. |
| Hydraulics | study of the mechanics of fluids |
| Marketing | the commercial processes involved in promoting and selling and distributing a product or service |
