Representation may include

- using sketching paper or conventional drafting tools
- applying basic concepts of scaling as applied in engineering drawings, blueprints and other two- or three-dimensional representations
- using computer-aided design (CAD) software-making patterns to form 3D objects.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is the difference between an orthographic drawing and a pictorial drawing?
- What is the advantage of viewing an object in three dimensions vs. two dimensions?
- What are the advantages of computer-aided drafting over conventional drafting techniques?
