• Optimize

• Identify

• Develop

• Test

What is the engineering design process used for

• To study something
• It's not used for anything
• To understand something
• To create something or to Improve something.

a limitation or restriction that the design must consider

• criteria

• solution

• constraint

• model

What is the first step in the Design Process?

• Identify the Problem
• Construct a Prototype
• Develop Possible Solutions
• Optimize

During which step of the Design Process do you experiment with the prototype under controlled conditions and collect /record data?

• Test

• Develop

• Optimize
• Communicate

A team of engineers is asked to design a scooter that will be able to hold 150 pounds without breaking for less than $30. They decide that they will only use recycled materials. Which of the following is the team’s constraint?

• designed to appeal to kids
• made out of recycled materials
• must hold 150 pounds
• they do not have a scooter that does this

Failing is part of the engineering process.

• True

• False

Select the TRUE statements that describe the Development of Possible Solutions

• Has to be realistic

• Should write EVERY idea down

• No solution is too bad to include

• Should be creative

• Has to be well-thought out

Check the CORRECT statements about selecting the best solution.

• It is NOT a group decision

• You should have many solutions to choose from

• You should eliminate those that do not meet the criteria and constraints

• You should choose a solution because the drawing is nice

• You should focus on your criteria when selecting the best solution
