Communicate ideas through sketching, technical drawing, computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), or storyboarding.

Communication methods should be based on identifying the following forms and their intended purposes:

• sketching—drawing objects by hand; typically used as a quick and easy method in the idea-generating phase
• technical drawing—putting ideas on paper in the form of drawings, such as in drafting, which adheres to conventional techniques, standards, and symbols; the universal language of industry
• CADD—using a computer to design and draft; common to the industry today, promoting both speed and accuracy of design and planning
• storyboarding—using visual work instructions and augmented reality.

Process/Skill Questions:

• What is proportion? What is scale?
• What are the conventional technical drawing techniques?
• What are three types of pictorials?
• What sides of an object are usually seen in a working drawing?
