False
True

3. Engineering failure documentation includes tutorials.

False
True

4. Engineering success documentation creates tutorials.

False
True

5. Engineering documentation starts with writing in a notebook.

False
True

6. Presentations are based made by displaying source documents from a physical electronic location that everyone in the audience is familiar with

False
True

7. The crafts and trades started the documentation process that evolved into engineering.

False
True

8. The primary objective of engineering documentation is secrecy.

False
True

9. Engineering documentation's goal is to make management happy.

False
True

10. Replication involves documenting steps to failure.

False
True

11. Replication involves repeating expected symptoms, error messages, and failure modes.

False
True

12. Materials are not always the most expensive part of a project.

False
True

13. Documentation can seem expensive, but can save money when the entire project (physical testing, marketing, support, etc.) lifecycle is considered.

False
True

14. Hands-on experiences are becoming less expensive.

False
True

15. Best practice is a concept that captures mediocrity by describing what everyone is doing.

False
True

16. Best practice is what every engineer aspires to create

False
True

17. Engineers check other engineers work and then do what:

physically stamp pieces of paper
consult with other engineers
add a digital signature
report the results to the board of engineers

18. Engineers work with other engineers on a project because:

two engineers working together are more productive than working separately
two engineers can harmonize their thoughts, agree and check each other's work
multiple engineers can work through their differences to produce a better product
because they have different specialties
because there is so much work, engineers chop the team problem in to smaller, individual problem

19. The collective mind is a concept that

assumes multiple engineers have the same thoughts
assumes that a group of people have more creative thoughts than a single engineer
is used as resource to improve a product
has issues, thoughts, opinions that need to be addressed whether they push the project forward or not

20. Engineering projects

only have to be documented at the end of the project
are always documented because they are documented continuously

21. Engineering projects are mostly at what stage when documented?

failure
working
some parts working
everything working
before testing
all stages

22. The target audience of engineering documentation includes

engineers that might work on the project
engineers that want to check what has been done
engineers that want to build their expertise in a new area

23. Project management needs documentation to

keep clients happy
to know what is going on
account for time and materials for future planning purposes
can see task evolution

24. Other engineers read engineering documentation when first hired

keep clients happy
to see if they can push a project forward
make themselves look good to management
make themselves look good to other engineers
engineers like to solve problems

25. A portfolio is

a list of your Facebook, linked-in and twitter id's
a list of all your work on engineering projects
links to all your engineering projects

26. Employers are beginning to ask for portfolio rather than a resume. Why?

engineers are beginning to expect electronic documentation
a resume has no links
a resume has to be scanned before a human resource algorithm search for key words

27. Most students are putting their engineering project documentation where?

on a hard drive they own
on a thumb drive they can pass out rather than a resume
on a school created web site
on the internet cloud (google docs, drop box, amazon s3) and making public

28. Photos are to be uploaded to

Wikimedia commons
wikiversity
wikibooks
Wikipedia

29. Video is to be uploaded to

YouTube
canvas
vimeo
flicker
bittorrent

30. What is graded weekly?

notebook
electronic documents
presentations
demonstrations

31. The notebook grade will be number based upon what?

handwriting
English
format
transparency
goingtodo, doing, rant triplet number
drawings
saying positive things about your team mates
