Preview Questions Design Engineer | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: How do you determine the feasibility of a design during the conceptual phase?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By designing the most cost-effective structure possible

By assuming ideal conditions for materials and labor

By creating a rough estimate of costs and time

By conducting site assessments and evaluating constraints

Question 2: How should a Design Engineer handle scaling issues when creating a detailed CAD drawing for a construction project?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Use an arbitrary scale and adjust later

Use a standard scale for all drawings, regardless of the project's size

Adjust the scale of each drawing to suit its context and purpose, ensuring accuracy in dimensions and real-world applicability

Focus only on aesthetics and disregard scaling accuracy

Question 3: What is the most important consideration when integrating new materials, like composite materials, into an existing structural design?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The aesthetic compatibility with surrounding materials

The cost of the material relative to traditional options

The ease of installation

The material's compatibility with existing load calculations and construction methods

Question 4: How can energy recovery systems be integrated into the design of a high-rise building to improve overall efficiency?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By reducing window sizes to minimize energy loss

By using solar panels on every floor for energy generation

By using smaller HVAC systems that require less power

By incorporating heat recovery ventilation systems to capture waste heat

Question 5: How should a Design Engineer handle changes in project scope that affect structural design mid-project?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Review the changes, assess the impact on the existing design, and make necessary adjustments to integrate the new scope

Keep the original design and address changes after the project is completed

Proceed with the design without notifying the client

Ignore the changes and continue with the original design

Question 6: What is the key role of load-bearing walls in the integration of structural systems for high-rise buildings?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

They transfer vertical loads and provide stability to the structure

They are primarily used for aesthetic purposes

They serve only as partition walls for interior spaces

They limit the height of the building
