	False
	True

2

Engineering documentation that requires verbal explaining should be minimized.

	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
