Unit 1: Engineering Design

What is the First Step of the Engineering Design Process

• Testing Solutions

• Designing Solutions

• Define the Problem

• Planning Solutions

What two things determine whether or not engineering solutions are successful?

• If it stays within the constraints

• If it looks cool

• If it solves a problem

• If it meets the criteria

An engineer has designed and built a prototype to improve the brake system of a car. What is the next step that the engineer should take in the process?

• Test the prototype.
• Make sketches of the prototype.
• Identify constraints.
• Collect and analyze the test results.

An orthographic projection shows a 3D drawing in 2D. What 3 angles are shown?

• Back, front, side

• Left, right, center

• Front, side, above

• Top, under, side

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

• drawing
• report
• design brief
• prototype

Which answer (or answers) best describes criteria?

• how the model could fail

• the limits of the model

• what it shouldn't do

• what the model must do

What is an example of a prototype?

• A sketch

• A scale drawing

• An orthographic projection

• All of the above

The image above represents

• constraints

• criteria

• failure points

• diagram of solutions
