PLTW IED FINAL EXAM STUDY GUIDE
PLTW IED FINAL EXAM STUDY GUIDE QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS GRADED A+ 100% VERIFIED.
How might we create the best possible solution to a problem? ANS >> 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? ANS >> Brainstorming with a
group, research and testing possible solutions
What is an engineer? What types of work do engineers do? ANS >> 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 > Engineering management, and sales
Why Keep an Engineering Notebook? ANS >> An engineering notebook is
recognized as a legal document that is used in patent activities to...
,PLTW IED FINAL EXAM STUDY GUIDE
Prove the origin of an idea that led to a solution
Prove when events or ideas occurred
Prove diligence in turning the idea into a solution
Prove when an idea became a working solution ("reduced to practice")
What are the 4 best Practices for the Engineering Notebook? ANS >> Be Neat,
be Accurate,
be Legible,
be Thorough
Explain the concept of proportion. ANS >> 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 realistic sketches make a person a more
competent designer ANS >> 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.
What is the purpose of sketching your ideas? ANS >> Sketches provide a means
through which one can quickly and clearly communicate ideas
Define and differentiate invention and innovation. ANS >> Invention: A new
product, system, or process that has never existed before, created by study and
experimentation.
, PLTW IED FINAL EXAM STUDY GUIDE
Innovation: An improvement of an existing technological product, system, or
method of doing something.
Brainstorm ANS >> A group technique for solving problems, generating ideas,
stimulating creative thinking, etc. by unrestrained spontaneous participation in
discussion
Constraint ANS >> 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 ANS >>. 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.
A Design Brief ANS >> A written plan that identifies a problem to be solved, its
criteria, and its constraints. The design brief is used to encourage thinking of all
aspects of a problem before attempting a solution.
Design Statement ANS >> 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.
Engineering Notebook ANS >> An engineering notebook is 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.
