Questions And Answers 2025/2026
How might we create the best possible solution to a problem? -
CORRECT ANSWER-Engineers try to think "outside the box" in order to
solve new problems or find ways to improve current solutions
What is the most effective way to generate potential solutions to a
problem? How many alternate solutions should you generate? -
CORRECT ANSWER-Brainstorming with a group, research and testing
possible solutions
What is an engineer? What types of work do engineers do? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Engineering is the application of mathematics and scientific
principles to better or improve life. An engineer is a person who is
trained in and uses technological and scientific knowledge to solve
practical problems. Research, Develop, Design, Supervise, Manage,
Production and Construction, Operations, Plant management and
Sales
Why keep an Engineering Notebook? - CORRECT ANSWER-An
engineering notebook is recognized as a legal document that is used in
patent activities to...
a. Prove the origin of an idea that led to a solution
, b. Prove when events or ideas occurred
c. Prove diligence in turning the idea into a solution
d. Prove when an idea became a working solution ("reduced to
practice")
What are the 4 best practices for the Engineering Notebook? -
CORRECT ANSWER-a. Be neat
b. Be accurate
c. Be legible
d. Be thorough
Explain the concept of proportion. - CORRECT ANSWER-Paying close
attention to the underlying basic shapes and the relative proportions
of various features of the object will allow you to more accurately
reflect the true shapes and proportions of the object in your sketch.
Why would the ability to create sketches make a person a more
competent designer? - CORRECT ANSWER-Representing existing
objects and new ideas with sketches can make the design process
more effective and efficient and greatly enhance the ability of others
to understand your ideas. Allows them to communicate their ideas
more clearly.
