Engineering Design Process

The best use of tools, machines, materials, and processes to create a solution to a problem is known as __________________.

• iteration
• prototyping
• technology
• design

In the design world, limitations are known as:

• constraints
• criteria
• iterations
• data

The Engineering Design Process is an _____________ process, or one that is ongoing and repeated may times to arrive at the best solution. 

• systematic
• iterative
• designative
• methodical

Coming up with multiple ideas and evaluating all ideas to determine the best possible solution is known as:

• the iterative method
• constraints
• brainstorming
• criteria referencing

Which of the following activities would fall under the EDP step of "Exploring Solutions"?

• Finding current technologies that are available and could be used to solve the problem
• Seeing if the problem or a similar problem was addressed in the past.
• Identifying potential impacts of the solution
• All of these activities

Choose the correct order for the steps of the Design Process.

• Define the Problem, Brainstorm Possible Solutions, Explore Solutions, Test and Evaluate, Generate a Solution 
• Define the Problem, Brainstorm Possible Solutions, Generate a Solution, Explore Solutions, Test and Evaluate
• Define the Problem, Brainstorm Possible Solutions, Explore Solutions, Generate a Solution, Test and Evaluate
• Explore Solutions, Define the Problem, Brainstorm Possible Solutions, Generate a Solution, Test and Evaluate

It is important when brainstorming to:

• Limit your ideas to what is "real"
• Come up with as many ideas as possible
• Gravitate to a few ideas
• Keep it brief in time

When generating a solution, a designer creates either a model, a mock-up, or a ________________.

• drawing
• report
• design brief
• prototype

The testing and evaluation step of the EDP helps to

• Finalize the design of the solution
• Identify problems still remaining in the solution
• end the Design Process
• none of these

A means of judging. A standard, rule, or test by which something can be judged.

• Criteria
• Justifiable
• Algorithm
• Coordinate
