PLTW ENGINEERING ESSENTIALS| QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS|
ALREADY GRADED A+| NEWEST EXAM UPDATE
concensus -CORRECT ANSWER general agreement
Design Process -CORRECT 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.
optimize -CORRECT ANSWER make the best or most effective use of (a
situation, opportunity, or resource).
graphic organizer -CORRECT ANSWER A visual display that demonstrates
relationships between facts, concepts, or ideas. A graphic organizer guides the
learner's thinking as they fill in and build upon a visual map or diagram
Engineering Mindset -CORRECT ANSWER A way of thinking that affects
how someone interacts with a challenge, comes up with a solution to a problem,
and innovates on current technologies or systems.
Misconception -CORRECT ANSWER A view or opinion that is incorrect
because it is based on faulty thinking or understanding.
collaboration -CORRECT ANSWER Collaboration is the action of two or
more people working together through idea sharing to accomplish a common
goal.
, Systems Thinking -CORRECT ANSWER Understanding a system by
examining the connections between the parts that compose the entirety of the
system.
system -CORRECT ANSWER A group of interacting, interrelated, or
interdependent elements or parts that function together as a whole to accomplish
a goal. Change happens if you add or remove a part.
patent -CORRECT ANSWER A government authority or license conferring a
right or title for a set period, especially the sole right to exclude others from
making, using, or selling an invention.
Model -CORRECT ANSWER An accurate representation of an object or
phenomenon. Models can be visual, physical, mathematical, or computational,
and are often used in the development of scientific theories or the engineering
of artifacts.
conceptual model -CORRECT ANSWER A visual representation of an idea. A
conceptual model can be a sketch, concept map, schematic, flow chart, or any
other visual representation.
graphical model -CORRECT ANSWER A pictorial representation (such as a
picture, map, or technical drawing) used to convey detailed information. In
engineering, graphical models are created using standards of engineering
graphics to document a design and are often referred to as technical drawings.
spatial -CORRECT ANSWER Relating to, occupying, or having the character
of space. Spatial describes how objects fit together in space or down here on
Earth.
