What is the goal of the engineering design process?

• to design and test a solution to a problem

• to engineer

• to create a problem

• to build stuff

Based on the logic presented in the decision matrix above, which is the best design idea for modeling a puzzle cube?

• Dice

• Linking Cubes

• Sugar Cubes

• Foam Blocks

The process of taking something apart and documenting all of the parts and the way those parts fit together to better understand the object is known as

• mechanical dissection

• taking something apart

• medical dissection

• mechanical resection

Why do teams of engineers use a decision matrix to decide which idea to develop into a solution?

• a decision matrix is objective and not based on personal feelings

• A decision matrix makes the decision more complicated

• A decision matrix does not help you make a decision

• A decision matrix makes decisions based on personal feelings

A working model used to test a design concept by making observations and necessary adjustments is a(n)

• prototype

• model

• multiview sketch

• design solution

Why is it important to test a solution and continue to make improvements?

• it is not important to test or make improvements

• testing and making improvements is more work

• you should make improvements, but you do not need to test your solution

• testing and making improvements allows you to find the best solution

Which would be the best tool to use to measure the thickness of a student ID badge?
