TE12 2.02 The Design Process

Defining a problem and generating ideas are part of which process?

• Manufacturing

• Design

• Quality control

• Team building

In order to determine whether a device's design is successful, it must be:

• prototyped.

• evaluated.

• produced.

• marketed.

What determines whether the proposed solution is appropriate for the problem?

• Simulation and modeling

• Evaluation and modeling

• Plans and specificationsTesting and evaluation

• Testing and evaluation

When using bridge builder simulation software, what is achieved by using hollow tubing to construct the bridge?

• Compression

• Efficiency

• Length

• Tension

During the design process, constraints must be identified and:

• eliminated.

• prioritized.

• avoided.

• verified.

In what form are design problems typically presented?

• Seldom clearly defined

• Always clearly defined

• Usually clearly defined

• Never clearly defined

The design process is able to yield design solutions because it is:

• static.

• iterative.

• random.

• mundane.

Constraints are often defined as "needs". What are defined as "wants"?

• Specifications

• Preferences

• Criteria

• Standards

Established design principles include which?

• Policies

• Proportion

• Production

• Portions

When conflicts arise during the product development process, the design may need to be:

• maintained.

• modified.

• documented.

• approved.
