CEA Semester 1 Final Exam
Questions and Answers
Define civil engineering - -An engineer trained in the design and
construction of public works, such as bridges, dams, and other large facilities
- Define archictecture - -The science of designing buildings for human
habitation
- Balance - -Parts of the design are equally distributed to create a sense of
stability. Both physical and usual balance exist
- Form - -3D, the shape and structure of something as distinguished from its
substance or material
- Rhythm - -Repeated used of line, shape, color, texture, or pattern
- Texture - -The surface look or feel of something
- Color - -Affect how a human feels and acts
- Line - -1D shapes moving in a direction; either vertical, horizontal,
diagonal, or curved
- Shape - -2D, the two-dimensional contour that characterizes an object or
area
- Unity - -Achieved by the consistent use of lines, color, material, and/or
texture within a design
- Emphasis - -The feature in a design that attracts one's eye, the focal point
- Proportion/Scale - -Comparative relationships between elements in a
design with respect to size
- Space - -By incorporating the use of spacer in your design, you can
enlarge or reduce the visual space
- Value - -The relative lightness or darkness of a color
- Civil Engineering: structural - -Design structure to support their own
weight and the loads that they carry
