MY TASK

​​​YOU ARE A CONSULTING ENGINEER RESPONSIBLE FOR FIRE ALARM DESIGN.

THE CHALLENGE: IS A FIRE ALARM SYSTEM IS NECESSARY FOR THIS PROJECT?

TIPS

​JUST LIKE THE REAL WORLD...
  • We are expected (and encouraged) to make good use of all resources available to us.
  • We are not only judged by getting the right answer, but also by how effective & efficient we are.
  • That said, it's better to be a little less effective than to be wrong.
  • If we don't know, ask.
  • We're not always given all the information we need.
  • It's better to ask for help than to assume and be wrong.
  • Some mistakes hurt, others not as much. The pain level of a mistake is not always in our control.
  • People are not always perfect. Always consider the source of the information.
  • Try your best, and forget the rest.
  • If we cheat, we only cheat ourselves. This workshop is designed to hone skill, not test our ability to copy someone else's results. Don't cheat yourself. Besides, there are cheat traps. That's all we'll say...
