Engineering and Product Design mind maps

Engineering and product design mind maps

These community-made maps bring together topics from mechanical design and product development. They include CAD modules, a map on engineering specifications, and projects such as Sprocket support and Intravenous Stand.

Start with Mechanical Engineering Design - CAD if you want a route into the material: its modules cover assemblies, fabrication and a design challenge. For a project-focused starting point, Sprocket support sets out questions about weight, forces, screws and machining.

Study with a map

Follow the branches of a map and explain the connections in your own words. Then look away and sketch the ideas you remember before checking the original. Compare a project map with the map on mechanical assemblies and detail drawing to connect design questions with modeling and dimensioning.

When you want to test your recall or review terms, switch to the quizzes or flashcards on the unit page. Choose a map and make it your starting point.
