Engineering Design Process Cycle 1 Review

The Scientific Method is a/an:

• undefined linear procedure

• defined circular procedure

• undefined circular procedure

• defined linear procedure

The Engineering Design Process is used to:

• Increase human knowledge and understanding of the world.

• Prove theorems about technological processes.

• Provide solutions to human needs and wants.

• Simplify human endeavors.

In science, you report your results; in engineering, you:

• Communicate the process

• 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 mock-up 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

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

• evaluate

• communicate

• test

• optimize

The term Iterative means

• a defined process

• a linear process

• a repetition of the process

• an undefined process

Scientists focus on how and why things happen. Scientists answer questions. Engineers focus on...

• the systematic knowledge of the physical or natural world gained through observation and experimentation

• Conducting Investigation

• Performing an experiment to test a hypothesis

• Making things happen and solving problems
