a representation of something in nature

an important variable to designing a solution to a problem

a scientific argument against a well-established theory

a form of creative brainstorming

Why are models useful?

They help you visualize things that are too small to be seen or too large to be comprehended.

They help you better understand processes that you are studying.

They help engineers design solutions to problems.

What is the correct order of steps to follow in the engineering design process?

identify a need; carry out research and brainstorm solutions; build and test a prototype; report the results

report the results; identify a need; carry out research and brainstorm solutions; build and test a prototype

build and test a prototype; report the results; identify a need; carry out research and brainstorm solutions

carry out research and brainstorm solutions; build and test a prototype; report the results; identify a need

Which of the following are examples of design tradeoffs? Choose all that apply.

the design of lightweight plastic materials to build car bodies to reduce weight and fuel use instead of using stronger, heavier steel which is more durable but will increase fuel use

the design of larger wheels on mountain bikes to cycle more smoothly over rocky surfaces instead of smaller wheels that manage tight turns easier but cause a bumpier ride

the use of lower quality, low resolution images in a phone texting program in order to be able to send the images more quickly to a recipient

the use of a paper grocery bag to carry groceries home

Why is it important that multiple people be included in the brainstorming process?

different backgrounds will allow for different ideas to take shape

it creates ownership of all members on a team

What is a good reason for having an engineering design process?

to be able to develop the most successful engineering product

to complete a scientific experiment

the products will sell for more money

You are going to design an indestructible kite. After doing research, you design several solutions and select the one you want to use. What are the next two steps you should do in the design process?

build and finish full-sized kites

evaluate your solutions and communicate results

build a prototype and do more research

What should an engineer do if their solution does not meet the criteria or constraints?

go back and modify the solution to better meet the criteria and constraints

nothing, the solution should stay unchanged

choose a different problem to solve that is not based on society's needs

Why is it a good idea to test a prototype?

the prototype may not work as well as expected

engineers like having more work to do

prototypes do not help determine if the proposed solution will work

What happens during the evaluation step of the engineering design process?

analyze your design to determine if it meets all specifications

1. A tire company is creating a new tire for a motorcycle to drive off-road in sandy and rocky conditions as well as on roads. Engineers developed three different tread patterns. Based on the engineering design process, the next step the company should take is to:

Select which tread design will be best

Send out a questionnaire about tires to the public

Research the properties of rubber

See which tire is the most expensive

1. Rob and his team have been chosen to build a wind turbine at a local ski resort that needs to generate electrical energy and withstand the harsh environment of the mountains. Rob and his team have done their research on the problem. What would be the next step for the team?

Develop possible solutions(s) for the turbine and how it will fit the criteria needed

Create a prototype of the wind turbine

Test the wind turbine on the mountains during the harsh winter months

Redesign a new solution for this turbine

Brian is trying to create a motorized scooter for his engineering design project. Which of the following should he do during his research step ?

Look up current scooter design online

Ask professionals who work at the local scooter shop

Read the instruction manuals for other scooters

Why do engineers follow the design process?

To find solutions to real life problems

To practice making measurements

To use the same solution for every problem

Which of these best describes the brainstorming stage of the engineering design process?

using group input to discuss and prepare preliminary designs

identifying a need to be addressed

gathering feedback about prototypes

collecting information from a variety of background sources

Which of these is not a skill an engineer would use to design a bridge?

designing a controlled experiment

A company creates a design for an egg carton that must be biodegradable and must prevent eggs from breaking during shipping. The design is then tested many times. Which statement explains why this testing process is necessary?

Testing helps the company improve the overall design of the product.

Testing helps ensure a high-quality product, even if it does not meet the constraints.

Testing helps identify an acceptable number of eggs that customers should expect to be broken.

Testing proves that the appearance of the design is more important than meeting the constraints.

Which sentence describes a way the scientific method and engineering design are similar?

both involve analyzing results of tests

both produce a product to make life easier

both involve using only expensive materials
