The Engineering Design Process

Engineer (Choose the best answer.)

• A person trained and skilled in the design, construction & use of a system or machine

• An AI trained and skilled in the design, construction & use of a system or machine

• A person trained and skilled in the graphic design and python language

• A person trained and skilled in brainstorming ideas and creating software.

The Engineering Design Process (Choose the best answer.)

• Series of steps that engineers use to guide them to brainstorm ideas.

• Series of steps that engineers use build a prototype

• Series of steps that engineers use to guide them as they solve problems

• Series of steps that engineers use to guide them as plan the solution

Constraints

• a measure or condition that keeps someone or something under control or within limits.

• Limitations that must be taken into account when designing the solution

• Observations that describe something using numerical terms & measurements Ex: 27 chairs that are 95 cm tall.

• Observations that describe a quality about an object or phenomenon using your 5 senses. Ex: It is tall and purple.

Prototype

• Observations that describe a quality about an object or phenomenon using your 5 senses. Ex: It is tall and purple.

• An original model that works, but is used for early testing. Typically made of cheaper materials.

• A type of protonic material used in the design process

• A final copy of your invention

Quantitative Data

• Observations that describe something using numerical terms & measurements Ex: 27 chairs that are 95 cm tall.

• Observations that describe a quality about an object or phenomenon using your 5 senses. Ex: It is tall and purple.

• Data that includes unlimited ways to create a product

• Data added to a spreadsheet for a set

Qualitative Data

• Observations that describe something using numerical terms & measurements Ex: 27 chairs that are 95 cm tall.

• Observations that describe a quality about an object or phenomenon using your 5 senses. Ex: It is tall and purple.

• Data that includes unlimited ways to create a product

• Data added to a spreadsheet for a set

Brainstorming

• The process of getting a group to think of unlimited ways to create a product or solve a problem

• The process of testing your hypothesis

• Limitations that must be taken into account when designing the solution.

• Can be used to identify a problem or need.

Tradeoff

• The process of getting a group to think of unlimited ways to create a product or solve a problem

• An exchange - giving up one thing to get something else.

• Things that are required in the solution

• Things that add to the solution but are not required

Observation

• Things that add to the solution but are not required

• Can be used to identify a problem or need.

• A way to create a product or solve a problem

• An educated guess

Consumer

• A person who purchases goods and services

• A person that consumes large amounts of food

• A person trained and skilled in the design, construction & use of a system or machine

• Includes needs and wants in the engineering design process
