NOCTI GA Engineering & Technology Study Guide 2023
with complete solution
CAD
computer aided drafting
plot plan
diagram showing everything at the project site at a set scale
floor plan
diagram showing arrangement of rooms and furniture at a set scale
elevation plan
diagram showing the external face of a building showing height at a set scale
foundation plan
diagram showing the plane view of a structure at a set scale
specification sheets
a document describing the specifications a product or property
Brainstorm
A group technique for solving problems, generating ideas, stimulating creative thinking,
etc. by unrestrained spontaneous participation in discussion.
Client
A person using the services of a professional person or organization.
Creativity
The ability to make or bring a new concept or idea into existence; marked by the ability
or power to create.
Criteria
A means of judging. A standard, rule, or test by which something can be judged.
, Constraint
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
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
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
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.
Design Statement
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.
