COMPREHENSIVE EXAM QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT ANSWERS
⩥ plot plan. Answer: diagram showing everything at the project site at a
set scale
⩥ floor plan. Answer: diagram showing arrangement of rooms and
furniture at a set scale
⩥ elevation plan. Answer: diagram showing the external face of a
building showing height at a set scale
⩥ foundation plan. Answer: diagram showing the plane view of a
structure at a set scale
⩥ specification sheets. Answer: a document describing the specifications
a product or property
⩥ Brainstorm. Answer: A group technique for solving problems,
generating ideas, stimulating creative thinking, etc. by unrestrained
spontaneous participation in discussion.
,⩥ Client. Answer: A person using the services of a professional person
or organization.
⩥ Creativity. Answer: The ability to make or bring a new concept or idea
into existence; marked by the ability or power to create.
⩥ Criteria. Answer: A means of judging. A standard, rule, or test by
which something can be judged.
⩥ Constraint. Answer: 1. A limit to a design process. Constraints may be
such things as appearance, funding, space, materials, and human
capabilities. 2. A limitation or restriction.
⩥ Design. Answer: 1. An iterative decision-making process that
produces plans by which resources are converted into products or
systems that meet human needs and wants or solve problems. 2. A plan
or drawing produced to show the look and function or workings of
something before it is built or made. 3. A decorative pattern.
⩥ Design Brief. Answer: A written plan that identifies a problem to be
solved, its criteria, and its constraints. Encourage thinking of all aspects
of a problem before attempting a solution.
⩥ Design Process. Answer: A systematic problem-solving strategy, with
criteria and constraints, used to develop many possible solutions to solve
,a problem or satisfy human needs and wants and to winnow (narrow)
down the possible solutions to one final choice.
⩥ Problem Statement. Answer: A part of a design brief that challenges
the designer, describes what a design solution should do without
describing how to solve the problem, and identifies the degree to which
the solution must be executed.
⩥ Designer. Answer: A person who designs any of a variety of things.
This usually implies the task of creating drawings or in some ways uses
visual cues to organize his or her work.
⩥ Engineer. Answer: A person who is trained in and uses technological
and scientific knowledge to solve practical problems.
⩥ Engineering Notebook. Answer: A book in which an engineer will
formally document, in chronological order, all of his/her work that is
associated with a specific design project.
⩥ Innovation. Answer: An improvement of an existing technological
product, system, or method of doing something.
⩥ Invention. Answer: A new product, system, or process that has never
existed before, created by study and experimentation.
, ⩥ Iterative. Answer: A process that repeats a series of steps over and
over until the desired outcome is obtained.
⩥ Valid. Answer: Well-founded on evidence and corresponds accurately
to the real world.
⩥ open-looped. Answer: A system that does not have feedback
⩥ feedback. Answer: fourth step of a system
⩥ closed-looped. Answer: a system that has feedback
⩥ process. Answer: second step of a system
⩥ output. Answer: third step of a system
⩥ subsystem. Answer: smaller systems intergrated into a larger system
⩥ What are some important resources for engineering and technology?.
Answer: People,Energy, Capital(Money), Information,Tools, Machines,
Materials, and Time
