Midterm study guide part 2

Color for TSA
These are the colors that represent TSA:
  • Scarlet (red) represents the strength and determination of the technology education students and teachers to obtain their goal.
  • White represents high standards, morals, and religious beliefs.
  • Blue (navy) represents the sincerity of the technology education students and teachers in obtaining a greater knowledge of our technological world.                                                                             
  •  Engineer’s design notebook
  •  To avoid being disorganized, designers and engineers keep design notebooks, where they record every detail of their projects along the way. 
Architectural scale measurments are used to facilitate the drafting and measuring of architectural drawings, such as floor plans and orthographic projections.

Metric system conversions

The basic metric units are meters (for length), grams (for mass or weight), and liters (for volume)


Engineering Lettering 
Technical lettering is the process of forming letters, numerals, and other characters in technical drawing.

Rapid prototyping is a group of techniques used to quickly fabricate a scale model of a physical part or assembly using three-dimensional computer aided design (CAD) data.

 Scale Factor
scale factor is a number which scales, or multiplies, some quantity.


 Parametric/Surface modeling
Freeform surface modelling is the art of engineering Freeform Surfaces with a CAD or CAID system.

Orthographic Projection

Orthographic projection (or orthogonal projection) is a means of representing a three-dimensional object in two dimensions.


The Maker Movement

The maker culture is a contemporary culture or subculture representing a technology-based extension of DIY culture.


Study guide for midterm Part 1

Lab Colors PPT Assignment
The Lab Colors are the colors used for safety in the lab.

Reverse Engineering
Reverse engineering is the process of extracting knowledge or design information from anything man-made.

TSA website
TSA stands for technology student association.


 CTSO
CTSOs are co-curricular organizations with leadership programs and competitive events which reflect current curriculum standards and competencies for the instructional programs they serve.

"Technology through the Ages."

Technology: the study of the designed world. Used to solve practical problems and extend human capabilities. Developments in technology are evolutionary, and are often the result of a series of refinements to an idea or basic invention.

Impacts of Technology: are divided into four categories: social (the impact on people), political (the impact on policy and laws), cultural (the impact on human achievement), and economic (the impact on the economy).

Paleolithic Age: the Old Stone Age, occurred between 500,000 BC and 10,000 BC and is marked by improvements to diet and security allowing the population to grow.

Mesolithic Age: the Middle Stone Age, occurred between 10,000 BC and 4,000 BC and is marked by the domestication of animals and agriculture.

Neolithic Age: the New Stone Age, occurred between 4,000 BC and 2,300 BC and is marked by specialization, division of labor, and the use of math and documentation of concepts.

Bronze Age: the architectural period that includes combining copper and tin to produce bronze; occurred between 2,300 BC and 700 BC.

Iron Age: the architectural period marked by the use of iron and steel; occurred between 700 BC and 450 AD.

Middle Ages: the architectural period after the Roman Empire; divided into Early Middle Ages, High Middle Ages, and Late Middle Ages; occurred between 450 AD and 1,400 AD and marked by the development of tools of war.

Renaissance: the architectural period marked by the revival of classical influence and the sharing of ideas; occurred between 1,400 AD and 1,750 AD.

Industrial Age: the architectural period marked by the first use of complex machinery, factories and urbanization, occurring between 1,750 AD and 1,950 AD.

Information Age: the architectural period marked by information sharing, gathering, manipulation, and retrieval; occurred between 1,950 AD and present.

Reverse Engineering and Discovery

Many people discovered a love of engineering through reverse engineering. Reverse engineering is when you do something like take an object take it apart then you rebuild it. This can easily teach you how to work hands-on with objects like how you do in engineering. This can teach you how to recognize parts of an object and how they work which can help you with fixing things and helping people.

Lab Safety Colors

There are many different colors that indicate safety hazards and precautions in the lab.

Safety Red means Danger and/or Stop.

Safety Yellow means caution, and yellow and black stripes are used to mark traffic patterns.

Safety Orange identifies dangerous of parts of machines or energized equipment.

Safety Green designates safety and the location of first aid and safety equipment.

Safety Blue identifies safety information used on informational signs and bulletin boards.

Safety Purple represents radiation hazards.
