IED UNIT 4 GRADE A Q&A
Annotate - (correct answer)To add explanatory notes to a drawing.
Assembly - (correct answer)A group of machined or handmade parts that fit together to
form a self-contained unit.
Assembly Drawing - (correct answer)A drawing that shows parts of an item when
assembled.
Cartesian Coordinate System - (correct answer)A rectangular coordinate system
created by three mutually perpendicular coordinate axes, commonly labeled X, Y, and Z.
Component - (correct answer)A part or element of a larger whole.
Computer-Aided Design or Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) - (correct answer)1. When
used in the context of design: the use of a computer to assist in the process of
designing a part, circuit, building, etc. 2. When used in the context of drafting: the use of
a computer to assist in the process of creating, storing, retrieving, modifying, plotting,
and communicating a technical drawing.
Degree of Freedom - (correct answer)The variables by which an object can move. In
assemblies, an object floating free in space with no constraints to another object can be
moved along three axes of translation and around three axes of rotation.
Design Brief - (correct answer)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 Statement - (correct answer)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.
