TED 2.01 & 2.02 Review

What is the last step in the design process?

• Developing a working prototype
• Patenting the product
• Reporting the progress of the project
• Presenting the solution

Before a design solution can be refined, it should first be:

• processed
• sketched
• marketed
• tested

A group of students are developing ideas for a new video game console system. At which point in the design process should they discuss regarding each design before making a prototype?

• Selecting the best solution
• Conducting a problem analysis
• Brainstorming and research
• Creating technical drawings

The process used to make a design or system as effective or efficient as possible.

• Optimization
• Complex systems
• Nuclear Energy
• Divergent thinking

The process used to maximize the function, market appeal, and safety of a new technology is referred to as:

• Risk analysis
• Optimization
• specifications
• transfer

Designing a vehicle within its given budget, tthe design team eliminated several features based on the original design. What is the relationship between criteria and constraints?

• Enhancing
• Competing
• Eliminating
• Complimenting

A technology club completed an entry for the video promotional competition, and is required to present it to the judges to explain the process used to create it. Which design process step will the club complete?

• Brainstorming
• Make a prototype
• Define the problem
• Communicate the results

Which activity occurs first in the design process?

• Applying for a patent and marketing
• Researching similar products
• Building the prototype
• Communicating test results

Which step of the engineering design process would use a graph to communicate the results?

• Defining a problem
• Exploring possibilities
• Making a prototype
• Evaluating the design

Many airplanes are constructed largely out of aluminum even though steel is a stronger material. This is an example of:

• choosing a more economical solution.
• designing for recycling.
• optimizing design trade-offs.
• developing a simple manufacturing system.
