| Torsion | A force that causes a twisting motion. On a bridge, it occurs when high wind causes the suspended roadway to rotate and twist like a rolling wave. |
| Tension | A force that stretches a material apart. When a material is in tension it tends to become longer. |
| Resources | Anything that is used in the production of a manufactured product. |
| Multi-view Drawing Tool | In CAD, this tool allows for the most accurate way to view a 3 dimensional object in 2 dimensions. |
| CAD | Computer Aided Drafting is a solid modeling software that allows you to draw an object in 3D. |
| Extrusion Tool | In CAD, the extrusion tool is used to transform a 2 dimensional sketch into a 3D solid model. |
| Factor of Safety | A term used to describe how engineers design a structure to withstand more load than people think it will be exposed to. Engineers use this to help protect human lives. |
| Compression | A force that causes a material to get shorter. This happens when something is being crushed or pushed together. |
| Load | The overall force to which a structure is subjected in supporting a weight or mass. |
