A scientist was trying to create a machine that allowed certain talkative students to stay quite for one class period. This an example of assistive engineering. True or False

• True

• False

A group of engineers designed and constructed a flying car prototype. Their goal is for the car to enable people to safely fly to and from work instead of getting stuck in traffic jams.  
How will the engineers determine that this prototype meets their design requirements?

• Have a test pilot attempt to fly it from one location to another.
• See if the car can hover one meter above the ground for 20 minutes.
• Drive in the car at highway speeds on an interstate roadway at nighttime.

Which of these is the best example of a product that results from adaptive engineering?

• a farm tool with a curved blade
• a water sprinkler activated by a timer
• a system for planting different crops each year
• a genetically modified plant species that resists pests
