EXAM COMPLETE 250 QUESTIONS WITH DETAILED
VERIFIED ANSWERS (100% CORRECT) /ALREADY
GRADED A+
concensus - ANSWER: general agreement
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.
optimize - ANSWER: make the best or most effective use of (a situation, opportunity,
or resource).
graphic organizer - 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 - 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 - ANSWER: A view or opinion that is incorrect because it is based on
faulty thinking or understanding.
collaboration - ANSWER: Collaboration is the action of two or more people working
together through idea sharing to accomplish a common goal.
Systems Thinking - ANSWER: Understanding a system by examining the connections
between the parts that compose the entirety of the system.
system - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - ANSWER: Relating to, occupying, or having the character of space. Spatial
describes how objects fit together in space or down here on Earth.
Subduction(zone) - ANSWER: The sideways and downward movement of the edge of
a plate of the Earth's crust into the mantle beneath another plate.
simulate - ANSWER: To reproduce the conditions of (a situation, etc). To use a model
to imitate certain conditions for purposes of study or training.
Computational Thinking - ANSWER: Habits that help people solve problems with
computers. Computational thinking habits encourage a person who is facing a
problem to ask how computers could help them be more creative, to communicate,
collaborate, use data or the internet, or use crowdsourcing or simulation, to solve a
problem.
data validation - ANSWER: A feature in Excel used to control what a user can enter
into a cell.
conditional formatting - ANSWER: A feature in Excel that allows the user to
automatically apply formatting to one or more cells based on the cell value.
algorithmic thinking - ANSWER: Creating a sequence of steps to solve a problem or
accomplish a task.
trade-offs - ANSWER: An exchange of one thing in return for another: especially
relinquishment of one benefit or advantage for another regarded as more desirable.
ethical issue - ANSWER: A problem or situation that requires a person or
organization to choose between alternatives that must be evaluated as right (ethical)
or wrong (unethical).
ethical dilemma - ANSWER: A situation in which there is a choice to be made
between two (or more) options, neither of which resolves the situation in an
ethically acceptable fashion.
patents - 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.
