5 Common Words Related in Civil Engineering
1. Computer-aided Design (CAD) - also known as Computer-aided Drafting. It is the use of computer systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design.
ex. In grade 10, we practice creating technical drawing using CAD or Auto-cad in our computer system.
2. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) - is equipment that will protect the user against health or safety risks at work.
ex. Construction workers are advice to wear PPE for their own safety.
3. Dimensioning - process placing measurements in a drawing in the metric or english system.
ex. A floor plan should have a proper dimensioning so it will be more clear and precise.
4. Infrastructure - basic physical and organizational structures, like buildings and roads, needed for society.
ex. After the typhoon, the engineering firm helped rebuild the plumbing and road infrastructure around the devastated community
5. Blueprint - a diagram or technical drawing, a plan for a building or machine that explains how to do or develop something.
ex. I looked at the blueprint to figure out the exact dimensions of the building.

Do the Twist
Sharing creativity with architects and designers, bioengineers are exploring innovative ways to create intricate medical devices, albeit at a scale 10,000 times smaller than the Sydney Opera House. These tiny structures perfect a new trick – designs with a twist. A gold material is placed in patterns onto a stretched surface peppered with tiny cuts (top left). As the surface relaxes, the gold structures buckle, spiral or pop up into a 3D shape (bottom right), similar to the Japanese art of kirigami. As scientists know how the materials behave, these structures can be designed using computer models first, much like how computer-aided design is used for buildings and machines. Putting a twist into new artificial particles increases the flexibility of designs used in medical implants or sensors.

Patrick Baudisch gives Keynote on Personal Fabrication at INTERACTIONS 2015 (YouTube)
德國 Hasso-Plattner-Institut 領導人機互動實驗室的 Patrick Baudisch 教授在這個演講中試著從 3D 列印、雷射切割機等越來越便宜、快速的設備，畫出了從個人電腦，到個人製造的未來理想，以及我們面對的挑戰。
該實驗室不斷探求個人製造的可能性，從讓製造變得更即時的互動 Interactive Construction (2012)、隨身製造工具的互動 Mobile Fabrication (2016)、到如何做出擁有特殊機構的微結構 Metamaterial Mechanisms (2016)。
未來呢？也許我們可以立刻汲取自然的材料，隨時做出我們天馬行空的道具吧！
BIM vs CAD: Key Differences Every Architect Should Know
BIM and CAD represent two different approaches to architectural design and project delivery. While CAD is primarily focused on creating accurate 2D and 3D drawings, BIM goes beyond geometry by integrating data, intelligence, and collaboration into a single model. BIM supports better coordination, quantity takeoffs, clash detection, and lifecycle management. Understanding the difference helps architects choose the right tool, streamline workflows, reduce errors, and improve overall project efficiency from design through construction.
