Suppose you are a bioengineer who is designing a prosthetic shoulder joint. You are building a prototype. Which is an important design criterion for a shoulder joint that you should include?

• It should be realistic in color and appearance.

• It should be stronger than a typical shoulder joint and support more weight.

• It should be capable of full movement within a shoulder socket.

• It should keep the person for whom it is designed from injuring himself or herself again.

You and your design team have designed a new waterproof wristwatch made of a soft, flexible, clothlike material. Which of the following prototypes could be used to predict how well the watch would work in real life?

• a wearable version of the watch made of the new material

• a computer model of the watch that actually moves

• a graphic drawing of the watch

• a wearable model of the watch made of plastic or cloth
