Engineering Design Terms

The use of knowledge and resources to solve problems and meet needs.

• Is our technological literacy definition

• Is our technology definition

Engineering is where knowledge

• , math & science along with study & experience is applied to benefit people.

• and resources are used to solve problems and meet needs

A prototype is

• a first or preliminary version of a device

• the criteria

• a constraint

• the project's requirements or limitations

These are the measurable requirements that a successful solution must meet.

• Constraints

• Constraints

• Problems

• Criteria

A constraint

• is the project's requirements or limitations.

• is a way for you to solve a problem.

• is not important.

• is a tool that scientists use.

Using information from tests to determine if a solution has met the criteria is called.

• A constraint

• The criteria

• Evaluating

• Evaluating

Invention is

• finding something of meaning that was not previously known.

• making changes to improve items; using the item to solve different problems.

• creating something original.

The engineering design steps take what order?

• Identify, Research, Brainstorm, Select, Build, Test, Present

• Present, Research, Identify, Select, Brainstorm, Test, Build,

It is what needs to be solved.

• Optimizing

• Brainstorming

• Problem

• Criteria

When designing, iterate means...

• ...there is only one correct way of solving a problem.

• you analyze what works and what does not work.

• create prototype, test it, evaluate the results and repeat.
