QUESTIONS AND 100% CORRECT
VERIFIED ANSWERS /GRADE A
i Computer Aided Drafting - CAD
Plot 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.
Specifications Sheet - A document describing the specifications of a product or property.
Brainstorm - A group technique for solving problems, generating ideas, stimulating creative thinking, etc.
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.
Criteria - A means of judging. A standard, rule, or test by which something can be judged.
Constraint - A limit to a design process.
Design - 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; a plan; 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 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.
Designer - A person who designs any any of a variety of things.
Engineer - A person who is trained in and uses technological and scientific knowledge to solve practical
problems.
Engineering Notebook - A book in which an engineer will formally document, chronological order, all of
his/her work that is associated with a specific design.
Innovation - An improvement of an existing technological product.
Invention - A new product, system, or process that has never existed before; created by study and
experimentation.
Iterative - A process that repeats a series of steps over and over until the desired outcome is obtained.
Valid - Well-founded on evidence and corresponds accurately to the real world.
Open-Looped - A system that has to have input each time the system is used. Does not have feedback
(Input -> Process -> Output -> Input).
Feedback - Fourth step of a system; responses that we get from a system.
