characteristics from something in order to reduce it to a set of essential characteristics.(verb) The process of taking away or removing characteristics from something in order to reduce it to a set of essential characteristics.

additive method - CORRECT ANSWER: A solid modeling design method where an

object is created by adding volume to a smaller object.

algorithmic thinking - CORRECT ANSWER: Creating a sequence of steps to solve a

problem or accomplish a task.

authoritative - CORRECT ANSWER: Able to be trusted as being accurate or true;

reliable.

biomechanics - CORRECT ANSWER: The science of movement (or mechanics) of a

living body, including how muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments work together to produce movement.

collaboration - CORRECT ANSWER: Collaboration is the action of two or more people working together through idea sharing to accomplish a common goal.

composite material - CORRECT ANSWER: A material made by combining two or more

compound machine - CORRECT ANSWER: A machine made up of two or more simple

machines.

Computational Thinking - CORRECT ANSWER: Habits that help people solve problems

with computers. Computational thinking habits encourage a person who is facing a problem to ask how computers could help them be more creative, to communicate, collaborate, use data or the internet, or use crowdsourcing or simulation, to solve a problem.

computer-aided design (CAD) - CORRECT ANSWER: A process that uses a computer

to assist in designing something, such as a part, circuit, or building.

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 Process - CORRECT ANSWER: 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.

durable - CORRECT ANSWER: Able to maintain structure and function during a life

span.

effort force - CORRECT ANSWER: An external force applied to an object.
