Computer Aided Drafting - answer✔CAD
Plot Plan - answer✔Diagram showing arrangement of rooms and furniture at a set scale.
Elevation Plan - answer✔Diagram showing the external face of a building showing height at a
set scale.
Foundation Plan - answer✔Diagram showing the plane view of a structure at a set scale.
Specifications Sheet - answer✔A document describing the specifications of a product or
property.
Brainstorm - answer✔A group technique for solving problems, generating ideas, stimulating
creative thinking, etc.
Client - answer✔A person using the services of a professional person or organization.
Creativity - answer✔The ability to make or bring a new concept or idea into existence.
Criteria - answer✔A means of judging. A standard, rule, or test by which something can be
judged.
Constraint - answer✔A limit to a design process.
Design - answer✔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 - answer✔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 - 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 narrow down the possible solutions to one final choice.

Design Statement - answer✔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 - answer✔A person who designs any any of a variety of things.
Engineer - answer✔A person who is trained in and uses technological and scientific knowledge
to solve practical problems.
Engineering Notebook - answer✔A book in which an engineer will formally document,
chronological order, all of his/her work that is associated with a specific design.
Innovation - answer✔An improvement of an existing technological product.
Invention - answer✔A new product, system, or process that has never existed before; created by
study and experimentation.
Iterative - answer✔A process that repeats a series of steps over and over until the desired
outcome is obtained.
Valid - answer✔Well-founded on evidence and corresponds accurately to the real world.
Open-Looped - answer✔A system that has to have input each time the system is used. Does not
have feedback (Input -> Process -> Output -> Input).
Feedback - answer✔Fourth step of a system; responses that we get from a system.
Closed-Looped - answer✔A system that has feedback (Input -> Process -> Output -> Feedback).
Process - answer✔The algorithm in which input goes through.
Output - answer✔The result of the output that the input goes through.
Subsystem - answer✔Smaller systems within a larger system.
What are some important resources for engineering and technology? - answer✔People, energy,
money, information, tools, machines, materials, and time.
System - answer✔A set or group of parts that all work together; all of them include input, a
process, and an output.
International Standards Organization - answer✔ISO
American National Standards Standards Institute - answer✔ANSI
