4. Lisa finds her backpack uncomfortable to wear. She adds wide gray tape to the straps in a way that makes the backpack more comfortable. What did Lisa do?

• compared designs

• designed an experiment

• solved a problem

5. Your friend Jose tells you that he has a great idea for a different kind of shoe. To help explain his idea, Jose constructs a version of his shoe from materials he finds in his home. Jose's shoe is known as a:

• prototype

• solution

• design

6. Your friend Jose asks you to wear the shoe he is designing and give him feedback on it. You wear it for 5 days and collect daily information about when it starts hurting your feet. You give him a table of recorded data to Jose, and the two of you talk about how the shoe could be better. Then Jose makes another version of the shoe. Which part of the engineering design process did you help with?

• asking and researching

• planning and listing steps

• testing and improving the shoe

7. Which of the following is likely to require scientific knowledge of how muscles and tendons work together during the developmental process?

• designing a prosthetic leg

• designing a new electronic toy

• designing an artificial pancreas

8. The criteria of a project describes...

• the purpose of the design

• the requirements of design

• the limitations of design

9. The constraints of a project describes...

• the purpose of the design

• the requirements of the design

• the limitations of the design

10. What other engineers might a biomedical engineer work with?

• A structural engineer

• A mechanical engineer

• A civil engineer
