What is the following passage saying about the difference between what engineers might use computer-assisted design to do and what architects would use CAD to do? Although the development of CAD tools enabled architects to produce architectural designs much more quickly than before, freeing them to focus more of their energy on creative work to improve their designs, CAD tools have also been an enormous aid to engineers in their work. ------------Engineers may develop schematics for necessary support structures and systems while analyzing factors such as stress tolerances and fluid flow on the fly. -Engineers use CAD to develop support structures and systems, and architects use CAD to create their architectural designs. -Engineers may use CAD later in the project after the primary architectural design work is complete. -Engineers don't use CAD tools for design issues like architects do. -Engineers use CAD primarily as an aid to analysis and not to increase the speed of their work as with architects.
Engineers may develop schematics for necessary support structures and systems while analyzing factors such as stress tolerances and fluid flow on the fly.
If Marisol does not seek professional licensure as a structural engineer because her state does not require it, but Janet one state over does get her license as a structural engineer, what do you predict as mostly likely for each of their careers assuming that both are equally intelligent, knowledgeable, and skilled? Whether one is more successful than the other depends on factors other than licensure. Janet will likely be more successful and make more money than Marisol. Marisol will likely be more successful and make more money than Janet. Both will be about equal in terms of professional accomplishments.
Janet will likely be more successful and make more money than Marisol.
Which of the following best distinguishes the benefits of licensure for the public welfare from the benefits of licensure for the professional? -Licensure benefits the public welfare by ensuring that professionals without licenses cannot serve as experts in trials, and it benefits professionals by making them objects of respect. -Licensure benefits the public welfare by carrying with it a professional seal, and it benefits the professional by giving the appearance of integrity and authority. -Licensure benefits the public welfare by proving that licensed professionals meet the standards of their profession, and it benefits the professional in terms of employability and increased respect. -Licensure benefits the public welfare because it is required by law in many states, and it benefits professionals because they cannot start their own businesses without it.
Licensure benefits the public welfare by proving that licensed professionals meet the standards of their profession, and it benefits the professional in terms of employability and increased respect.
What does it mean to say that licensure is the hallmark of a professional? Licensure is like a sign, telling potential clients that the licensed professional has completed a program of study related to the profession. Licensure is like a letter of recommendation, helping the licensed professional find work and advance professionally. Licensure is like a stamp of approval, indicating that the licensed professional has met all relevant standards and requirements for the profession. Licensure is like a checkmark, indicating that the licensed professional has taken the first step on a long journey toward meeting all relevant standards and requirements for the profession.

What differentiates the master builder approach prior to the Renaissance from later approaches? The architect and engineer roles are clearly separated into separate project phases. The engineering and construction roles dominated projects because architectural designs were so simple. Projects do not depend on individual knowledge but leverage the total knowledge of the team. Knowledge is confined to particular individuals and not shared or formalized into a recognizable set of standards.
Projects do not depend on individual knowledge but leverage the total knowledge of the team.
Which of the following is the most important factor contributing to the specialization of the architect and engineer roles into separate functions? Specialization better ensures plans are implemented more efficiently. Specialization ensures that no one person is the only knowledgeable person on a project. Specialization assists with more precise budget projections. Specialization ensures one role is not more important than the other roles on a project.
Specialization ensures one role is not more important than the other roles on a project.
How did the Ecole des Beaux Arts contribute to the development of the architect role into a profession? -The programs of instruction at the Ecole made the study of architecture looser and less formalized. -The Ecole, for the first time anywhere in the world, provided a formalized course of study for becoming an architect. -The ideas of prominent professors at the Ecole did much to move the study of architecture forward. -The controversies at the Ecole surrounding proper architectural design attracted some of the most creative individuals in Europe.
The Ecole, for the first time anywhere in the world, provided a formalized course of study for becoming an architect.
What problem of the low-bid process is the negotiated price process intended to solve? The negotiated price process is faster than the low-bid process. The negotiated price process is easier to manage than the low-bid process. The negotiated price process places a greater emphasis on lowering cost than the low-bid process. The negotiated price process focuses on contractor qualifications instead of simply seeking the lowest-bidding contractor.

Beginning in the 1960s, various advocates of the design-build model began to agitate against the design-bid-build approach and for a change. True False
True
What is the following passage saying about the difference between licensed and unlicensed engineers?Is an unlicensed engineer untrustworthy and unethical, or simply incompetent? Maybe, but not necessarily. Lack of a professional license is not proof of deficiency. In this case, you can't prove a negative. But the very lack of proof is what is at issue. No proof of basic competence might not signal incompetence, but it doesn't signal competence either. Unlicensed engineers are fully competent professionals, just as licensed engineers are. Unlicensed engineers cannot publicly signal their competence, whereas licensed engineers can do this. Unlicensed engineers should not be distrusted automatically, just as licensed engineers should not be automatically trusted. Unlicensed engineers must obey the law to practice engineering, and so are no different from licensed engineers.
Unlicensed engineers cannot publicly signal their competence, whereas licensed engineers can do this.
Which of the following is the best example of an architect using critical thinking? -When speaking with a client, Thomas knows from his body language that she is upset even though she doesn't say that she is. -Tina recognizes that there is a fundamental flaw in her approach to the plans for a project, and revises them to better align with the client's vision. -Raina breaks a complex problem down into more manageable pieces in order to deal with it better. -William is quick with even complex math and can perform many equations in his head without making mistakes.
When speaking with a client, Thomas knows from his body language that she is upset even though she doesn't say that she is.
Anita is an architect tasked with designing an art gallery. She has examined the site and she already has a general idea of the best layout and organization in her head. The gallery site is in an area where it rains most of the year, so she knows she needs to do what she can to provide adequate lighting. She knows some general design principles that can help her overcome this problem. She also has in mind some of the unique restrictions imposed by the site itself and will factor those into the specifications she draws up for the building.
