    Prity uses the engineering design process to help with construction projects by conforming to constraints of time and money to find the best solutions. Architects provide plan and elevation drawings to communicate building designs to Prity's team, showing floor plans to determine materials. Prity cites two new technologies that improve quality and lower costs: using rebar in footings for stronger foundations, and engineered wood joists that don't squeak.

    Questions and Answers

    Question 1

    Prity does not design


    structures, but she says she
    does use the engineering
    design process. How?

    Answer 1

    Prity uses the design process by


    confomring to the constriants of
    money and time to create the best
    solution for a construction process.

    Question 2

    What is the primary way


    that the architect
    communicates his or her
    building plans to Pritys

    Answer 2
    The architects create plan and elevation
    drawings to communicate their ideas to the team
    showing the floor plans which can be used to
    determine materials and know how to manage
    the constraints
    .

    Question 3

    Prity describes two new


    construction technologies that
    help her team deliver a higherquality product for the money.
    What are they?

    Answer 3

    They use rebar when making the footing


    which adds to the structural strength of the
    foundation. They also use engineered wood
    joists that move less and provide squeak
    free floors.

    Question 4
    You are an structural engineer working for
    a design fi rm, and you have been given
    the task of designing a scaffold that can
    support a load of 300 pounds. The
    scaffold must have a safety factor of 2.
    How many pounds must your design be
    able to support?

    Answer 4

    Your design must


    support 600 pounds.

    Question 5
    Sketch a plan view and elevation view of
    your schools lunchroom or library. The

    features such as windows, doors, pillars,
    or skylights.

    Answer 5
