Apply modeling and simulation techniques.

Application may include

• using sketching paper or conventional drafting tools
• using computer-assisted drafting software and a computer
• using 3D modeling software to show objects in three-dimensional space
• using software to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of a design
• using animation software or automation, computation, AI, and robotics technologies
• using mathematical modeling.
