What is the process followed by engineers when designing and building things to solve specific problems?

• Engineering Process

• Scientific Method

• Trial and Error

• Guessing Game

Why do real engineers always brainstorm more than one solution to a single problem?

• To show off their creativity

• To have more options to test if one solution doesn't work

• To confuse others

• To waste time

What is an important aspect of deciding which solution is the best solution for engineers?

• Random selection

• Logical and reasonable evaluation

• Magic 8-Ball

• Coin toss

Which solution involves building a balloon-powered airlift?

• None of the above

• Hang gliding solution

• Mary Poppins-style solution

• Up solution

Why is the Up solution of building a balloon-powered airlift not considered the best solution?

• Too expensive

• Cannot get across the gorge alive

• Requires too many materials

• Not creative enough

Which solution involves floating over the gorge with an umbrella?

• Up solution

• Mary Poppins-style solution

• Hang gliding solution

• None of the above

Why is the Mary Poppins-style solution of floating over the gorge with an umbrella not considered the best solution?

• Not fun enough

• Umbrella is too small

• Too heavy

• Cannot get across the gorge alive

Which solution involves hang gliding over the gorge?

• None of the above

• Mary Poppins-style solution

• Up solution

• Hang gliding solution
