The Scientific Method is a/an:

• undefined linear procedure

• defined circular procedure

• undefined circular procedure

• defined linear procedure

The Engineering Design Process follows:

• a defined circular path

• a defined linear path

• an undefined circular path

• an undefined linear path

In science, you form a hypothesis. In engineering, you:

• identify criteria

• define a problem

• brainstorm

• build a prototype

In science, you report your results. In engineering, you:

• communicate results

• define a problem

• brainstorm

• build a prototype

A systematic application of mathematical, scientific, and technical principles is:

• sociological design

• scientific design

• engineering design

• psychological design

By defining the problem, the designer clearly identifies what humans:

• like or want

• like and want

• like and don't like

• need or want

The process of checking to see if a solution to a problem already exists is called:

• research

• brainstorming

• testing

• optimizing

A prototype is a model that:

• looks exactly as the final solution would but does not function

• performs exactly as the final solution would

• does not meet the stated criteria

• does not meet the stated constraints

Data is collected during:

• evaluating

• refinement

• testing

• optimization

Design portfolios, design journals, drawings, and schematics are all used to :

• evaluate

• communicate

• test

• optimize
