Engineering Design Process

What is the main purpose of the Engineering Design Process?

• to get rich

• create a product that solves a problem

• fill out lots of paperwork

• world peace

The Engineering Design Process is an "Iterative" process.

• true

• false

What does "iterative" mean?

• The process happens only once

• The process is difficult

• The process repeats itself

• The process is slow

During Brainstorming you should

• Only sketch ideas, and avoid writing anything

• Probably see a doctor if there is a storm in your brain

• Only record and sketch your best ideas

• Write and sketch all ideas that come to mind

Which are examples of design constraints?

• The product must be able to fit in a 1' x 1' x 1' box

• The product must cost under $100 to make

• The product must be under 4 pounds

• all of the above

What is optimization?

• Making something look like Optimus Prime

• Making a product as good as possible within constraints

• Making a product as good as possible without constraints

• Making something as quickly as you can

Which is a step in the Engineering Design Process?

• Create a hypothesis

• The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell

• Test the prototype

• Write a thesis

A prototype is . . .

• A functional model of a product that will be improved later

• A perfect, final product

• An expensive brand of keyboard

• An instrument for measuring angles

The Engineering Design Process is meant to be completed one time per product.

• true

• false

The Problem Statement should:

• Design solutions to the problem

• State how to solve the problem

• State the problem

• All of the above
