TECH ED 7 Unit Assessment

A design team has determined requirements, chosen the best idea, and created technical drawings for a new energy-efficient light. What is the next step in the design process?

• Develop and Test Solution

• Present the Solution

• Evaluate Solution

• Design a Problem

Which behavior can harm team success?

• Members listen to each other and all ideas are heard

• Members feel free to disagree, but feedback is helpful

• Members focus only on ideas from those with the best grades

• Members understand tasks and help each other

Why is sketching an effective communication tool?

• Designers can color sketches to show texture and appearance

• Sketching helps designers share detailed ideas quickly

• Sketches make designs look neat and attractive

• Sketching shows how a design might be used or made

Why is sketching an effective communication tool?

• A perspective sketch

• A multiview sketch

• An isometric sketch

• A thumbnail sketch

Engineers and designers take apart products to see how they work and find ways to improve them. What is this process called?

• Statistical analysis

• Mechanical Dissection

• Mathematical Modeling

Use the image to answer.

What is the dial caliper measurement to the nearest 0.001 inch?

• 2.194 in.

• 2.200 in.

• 2.294 in.

• 2.940 in.

What is the length of the three blocks?

• 3.5 cm

• 3.5 in.

• 3.5 mm

Why is a decision matrix important in the design process?

• It identifies criteria, constraints, and deliverables

• It organizes sketches, models, and brainstorming

• It determines the best solution by comparing ideas to criteria and constraints

• It is a contract between client and designer

What is important in any design process?

• The design process is linear and steps cannot be repeated

• The design process should be iterative, allowing designers to revisit and modify steps based on testing

• The design process should include brainstorming and developing solutions, but testing is not necessary

• Designers must always return to the first step if the solution fails testing
