It is possible for two different objects to have the same three visible orthographic views (T/F)
True, without hidden lines, we cannot see behind or inside the object (so we could not tell the difference between a solid sphere and a hollow sphere, for example
Which of the following is/are NOT advantages of isometric projection: 1) Scaled measurements can be made directly from drawing; 2) Perspectives are accurate and undistorted; 3) 3D objects can be represented in 2D; 4) The use of common angles across the drawing make it easier to draw
2) only, isometric projection forces parallel lines on the object to be parallel on the page; in reality they converge to a vanishing point (i.e. perspective projection).
What line is used for the following features: 1) Visible edge of a part; 2) Hidden feature of a part; 3) Centreline of a round hole; 4) Centremark of a round hole
1) Solid Line, 2) Dashed Line, 3) Dash-dot Line, 4) + shape with Dash-dot lines
Where are the units for a dimension(e.g. mm, m, in) indicated?
As a note in the title block -> Units for dimensions are stated in the title block of the drawing
Identify the 3 main types of workplace feedback
Appreciation, Coaching, Evaluation
Of the following items, choose all that fit a Complete feedback response from the Receiver: 1) Asks for additional information or suggestions for improvement; 2) Describes impacts as well as observations; 3) Provides suggestions for improvement; 4) Acknowledges and responds to the feedback
1) and 4), The receiver should acknowledge the feedback and seek additional clarification/suggestions (if appropriate). Describing impacts and observations and providing suggestions for improvement come from the message (delivered by the sender)
Of the following items, select all that fit with a Considerate feedback approach, specifically related to the Sender: 1) Is phrased in terms relevant to the receiver; 2) Is postponed if the receiver is stressed or anxious about something else; 3) Recognizes that the receiver may be feeling vulnerable; 4) Uses polite and respectful body language; 5) Is focused on what is achievable by the receiver
2) and 3), The sender being Considerate means being empathetic to the receiver in choosing the time, method, and place of the feedback. This includes recognizing that the receiver may be feeling vulnerable and/or not in an appropriate emotional state to accept feedback. Relevant and achievable feedback relates to a Considerate message only. Polite and respectful body language relates more to being Courteous
Match the descriptions with the appropriate element of the 3x3 Feedback Model: 1) Sender-Courteous; 2) Sender-Considerate; 3) Receiver-Courteous; 4) Message-Considerate; 5) Sender-Clear || A) Use spoken and body language to show you are listening; B) Perhaps postpone the feedback if the other person is very upset; C) Avoid using language that is likely to upset the other person; D) Use spoken language and body language that are consistent; E) Perhaps postpone the feedback if you see the other person is very busy
1E, 2B, 3A, 4C, 5D
Identify all changes that would make the feedback more Considerate and Concrete: “Saman has been late for team quizzes but insists they put their name on the card. Walking to the physics midterm, Misha says to Saman, “The team is getting very frustrated with your lack of contribution. You don’t work as hard as everyone else but you are asking for equal credit. The whole team is upset with you. We need to talk.”: 1) Change the phrase “You don’t work as hard as everyone else” to “You have been late for five quizzes yet you want equal credit”; 2) Change the phrase “…frustrated with your lack of contributions” to “…frustrated wit your arriving late to quizzes”; 3) Postpone giving this feedback until after the exam; 4) Add the sentence “Freeloaders do not deserve equal credit”; 5) Add the sentence “The rest of us make arriving on time a priority so why can’t you?”
1) and 3) are Considerate and 1) and 2) are Concrete
Match the elements: 1) Evaluation; 2) Appreciation; 3) Coaching || A) To help someone recognize they are doing well; B) To rate performance based on established standards; C) To give credit to someone for their contributions
1B, 2C, 3A (part of coaching is to recognize what someone is doing well)
According to the 3x3 Feedback Model, which 3 of the 7 Cs most strongly apply to the Sender?
Clear, Courteous, Considerate, All of the 7 Cs apply, but the most important for the Sender to consider are Clear (spoken language and body language should be easy to follow, consistent, and unambiguous to the receiver), Courteous (tone, message and body language should remain polite and respectful), and Considerate (Recognize that the receiver might feel vulnerable, and keep them in mind when choosing time and method of feedback)
Of the following items, select the two that best fit with a Considerate feedback Message: 1) Provides suggestions for improvement (if appropriate); 2) Is clear in its main point; 3) Describes impacts as well as observations; 4) Is descriptive; 5) Is specific; 6) Is focused on what is achievable by the receiver; 7) Is phrased in terms relevant to the receiver
6) and 7), Considerate means taking the audience into account, and being empathetic to their needs. For feedback, this means phrasing the feedback in terms that matter to the receiver, and in focusing on things that are under the control of the receiver (i.e. what is achievable).
According to the 3x3 Feedback Model, in which Cs below is the body language of the participants very important” 1) Message (Considerate, Complete, Concrete), 2) Sender (Clear, Courteous, Considerate), 3) Receiver (Clear, Courteous, Complete)
Both Sender and Receiver are Clear and Courteous, Both sender and receiver should use Clear body language (i.e. unambiguous and consistent with what they are saying), and Courteous body language (i.e. that is polite and respectful).
Which of the following best describes “allyship”: 1) Taking action to support individuals from underrepresented groups who might face bias; 2) Working with teammates to build psychological safety on the team; Enhancing the quality of relationships between team members to bring the team to performing; 4) Working together with team members to accomplish team goals and build structure and clarity
1), Allyship involves taking actions to support and empower people of underrepresented groups. It usually involves speaking out or taking action in cases where you see issues of bias or lack of inclusion.
How is equity different from equality?
Equity gives all parties the same opportunity for success, whereas Equality means treating everyone the same
Which factor was the most important factor in influencing team effectiveness at Google, and which was not a factor?
Psychological safety within the team was most important, individual talent was not
How are bias are psychological safety related?
The presence of bias inhibits the development of psychological safety, If a person feels targeted or treated unfairly/differently, it is more difficult to feel safe
The number of female musicians in top orchestras dramatically increased when blind auditions concealed gender. What phenomenon does this exemplify?
Implicit bias
Match the elements: 1) Implicit bias; 2) Microaggressions; 3) Stereotype threat || A) Seemingly small actions are statements that reinforce a stereotype; B) How negative assumptions about certain groups can decrease performance; C) Prejudices that exist in a person’s mind without their awareness
1C, 2A, 3B
Which of the following describe “when someone unintentionally does or says something insensitive based on a stereotype they hold about another group of people”: 1) Microaggression, 2) Stereotype threat, 3) Allyship, 4) Implicit bias
1) and 4), These actions may be implicit bias in general or microaggression (if it is a small, commonplace statement or action). There isn’t enough information to conclude. The actions are NOT stereotype threat - that would involve pressure on the individual due to a stereotype about themselves they perceive.
Based on the screencast, which of the following statements is FALSE when considering how dimensions of diversity (including ethnicity, political belief, and gender identity) benefit a team working on a technical project: 1) Dimensions of diversity affect a person’s cultural perspectives and lived experiences; 2) Diverse teams have been found to cultivate stronger relationships; 3) Seemingly unrelated forms of diversity still increase the different ways of thinking and solving problems on a team; 4) Changing a dimension of diversity changes the biological functioning of a person’s brain; 5) Increased diversity means teammates come with different viewpoints and perspectives
4), The benefits of even seemingly unrelated dimensions of diversity primarily come from the different perspectives, experiences, and ways of thinking that individuals bring to the team. Researchers have also found that more diverse teams tend to build stronger relationships (moving them further towards performing on Tuckman’s framework). Changing dimensions of diversity does not directly change the way a person’s brain works.
Select the best term for the following scenarios: A) Equality; B) Equity; C) Microaggression; D) Inclusion; E) Allyship || 1) Hold all team meetings in person on campus but allow everyone to be up to 5 minutes late; 2) Expect all team members to be on time for meetings but allow members with long commutes to join via Zoom; 3) Speaking privately to a team member who made an insensitive comment about gender that impacted another member of that gender identity
1A, 2B, 3E, Holding all meetings in person with a grace period is equality (everyone is treated the same, but it is less fair to those who live far away); Allow commuter students to join remotely is equity (it is most fair); speaking to a member who said an insensitive comment is allyship in that you are working to support the impacted team member. (Note: without more information we do not know whether or not the comment was a microaggression.)
Kaede has observed actions of others suggesting they hold a stereotype that Asians are good at math, but when he asks these people if they believe this is true they sincerely say no. What does this exemplify?
Implicit Bias, This suggests an implicit bias since people do not consciously acknowledge the stereotype but they act in a way that supports it (implicit bias). To be stereotype threat, there would need to be a pressure on Kaede to avoid confirming a negative stereotype.
During which stage in the engineering design process should sustainability be considered?
Throughout the whole design process, especially during the early stages
