Abutment a mass, as of masonry, receiving the arch, beam, truss, etc., at each end of a bridge. Created by Daryn Morris

Aerodynamics • the branch of mechanics that deals with the motion of air and other gases and with the effects of such motion on bodies in the medium. Created by Daryn Morris

Agent • Icon that student must click when working in modules to access a third party software. • Example: Use 3D Home Architect program in the CADD station. Created by Daryn Morris

Aileron • Either of two movable flaps on the wings of an airplane that can be used to control the plane's rolling and banking movements. Created by Daryn Morris

Altitude Created by Daryn Morris

Automation • a mechanical device, operated electronically, that functions automatically, without continuous input from an operator. Created by Daryn Morris

Amplitude • the maximum deviation of an alternating current from its average value. Created by Daryn Morris

Angle • the space within two lines or three or more planes diverging from a common point, or within two planes diverging from a common line. Created by Daryn Morris

Animation • The creation of artificial moving images. The process of preparing animated cartoons. Created by Daryn Morris

Antenna • an electrical device that sends or receives radio or television signals Created by Daryn Morris

Arch • a curved masonry construction for spanning an opening, consisting of a number of wedge like stones, bricks, or the like, set with the narrower side toward the opening in such a way that forces on the arch are transmitted as vertical or oblique stresses on either side of the opening. Created by Daryn Morris

Asymmetrical • not identical on both sides of a central line; unsymmetrical; lacking symmetry Created by Daryn Morris

Audio • of, pertaining to, or employed in the transmission, reception, or reproduction of sound. Created by Daryn Morris

Axis • a line about which a three-dimensional body or figure is symmetrical. • any line used as a fixed reference in conjunction with one or more other references for determining the position of a point or of a series of points forming a curve or a surface. Created by Daryn Morris

Balance • composition or placement of elements of design, as figures, forms, or colors, in such a manner as to produce an aesthetically pleasing or harmoniously integrated whole. Created by Daryn Morris

Bearing • to tend in a course or direction; move; go: to bear west; to bear left at the fork in the road. Created by Daryn Morris

Billet • A small, usually rectangular bar of iron or steel in an intermediate stage of manufacture. Created by Daryn Morris

Binary • consisting of, indicating, or involving two. Created by Daryn Morris

Bug • a defect or imperfection, as in a mechanical device, computer program, or plan; glitch Created by Daryn Morris

CADD • Acronym meaning Computer Aided Drafting & Design. The method used by modern day drafters, architects and engineers to complete floor plans and mechanical drawings. Created by Daryn Morris

CAM • Computer Aided Manufacturing. A system that uses computer technology in the management and control of manufacturing operations. Created by Daryn Morris

Capacitor • a device for accumulating and holding a charge of electricity, consisting of two equally charged conducting surfaces having opposite signs and separated by a dielectric. Created by Daryn Morris

Cartesian Coordinate System A coordinate system in which the coordinates of a point are its distances from a set of perpendicular lines that intersect at an origin, such as two lines in a plane or three in space. Created by Daryn Morris

Central Processing Unit An integrated circuit; the part of a computer that interprets and executes instructions. Created by Daryn Morris

Chip • Also called microchip. Electronics. a tiny slice of semi-conducting material, generally in the shape of a square a few millimeters long, cut from a larger wafer of the material, on which a transistor or an entire integrated circuit is formed. Created by Daryn Morris

Chroma Keying • A chroma key is the removal of a color (or small color range) from one image to reveal another image "behind" it. The removed color becomes transparent. This technique is also referred to as "color keying", "color-separation overlay" "greenscreen" and "bluescreen". It is commonly used for weather forecast broadcasts. The presenter appears to be standing in front of a large map, but in the studio it is actually a large blue or green background. Created by Daryn Morris

Chuck • a device for centering and clamping work in a lathe or other machine tool. Created by Daryn Morris

Circuit • Also called electric circuit. the complete path of an electric current, including the generating apparatus, intervening resistors, or capacitors. Created by Daryn Morris

Circuit Board • a sheet of insulating material used for the mounting and interconnection (often by a printed circuit) of components in electronic equipment. Created by Daryn Morris

Civil Engineer • a person who designs public works, as roads, bridges, canals, dams, and harbors, or supervises their construction or maintenance. Created by Daryn Morris
