PRACTICE PROMPT

Use this fictional setting to practise clear reasoning. It is not an assessment or institution paper.

The setting

A brief with a stated programme that the proposed in-situ scheme cannot meet.

Your task

Write setting out the conflict and offering two routes through it.

What a useful response would show

The conflict stated early and clearly, with the decision left with the client.

Reflect afterwards

  1. What assumption mattered most?
  2. What would you check before using this on a real project?
  3. Could another engineer follow your recommendation?
