Andrea and her team of mechanical engineers are discussing the limitations to the design problem they have been given. They agree that the major factors they must consider are: cost, durability, functionality, creativity and the time it takes to design. In which step of the design process is their discussion likely occurring?

• Define Problem
• Generate Concepts
• Develop a Solution
• Construct and Test Prototype

Which of the following is NOT typically part of a design brief?

• Decision Matrix
• Solution Expectations
• Problem Statement
• Constraints

• True
• False

Tony and his design team were hired to develop a new synthetic rubber for bike tires to be used by a local BMX manufacturer whose tires had been wearing too quickly. The rubber tested well for grip, wear, and rough terrain performance. Yet, their design was rejected after it was determined their cost was higher than the manufacturer’s maximum allowable price per tire. What did the design team likely overlook in their design process?

• Identifying Criteria and Constraints
• Brainstorming Solutions
• Validating the Problem
• Analyzing Test Results

A __________ is a full-size, physical model that is functional and can be tested.

• prototype
• scale model
• concept model
• mock up

What tool used during the design process is pictured?

• Decision matrix
• Parts list
• Bill of materials
• Design Brief

When working in teams it is always important to identify proper and acceptable behaviors by establishing _______________ ?

• team norms
• daily logs
• member roles
• decision matrices
