• Imagine

• Improve

Which step of the engineering design process asks, "what are some possible solutions or answers?"

• Test

• Plan

• Improve

• Imagine

What are simple machines?

• tools used to make work easier

• tools only used in robotics

• tools that can use power or electricity

• tools that require someone to help you

What is the engineering design process?

• a systematic, iterative

  problem solving method which produces

  solutions

• the scientific method that only find one correct answer to a specific question

• a hypothesis or educated guess to the expected outcome of an experiment

• the building, designing, and producing of educational equipment such as Lego

What are criteria?

• the requirements or desired elements and

  features of a solution

• the limitations to the solution

• almost always involves time, budget, safety

• the detailed procedures for the design process

What are constraints?

• the limitations to the solution

• the requirements or desired elements and features of a solution

• what the design is supposed to do, related to function, aesthetics, & efficiency

• things the design needs to do in order to be successful

What is NOT necessary in an Engineering Notebook?

• Pages that are bound.

• A table of contents

• Pages are numbered and dated

• All work in color - no black ink

What should you do if you make a mistake in your Engineering Notebook?

• Cross it out and write your initials next to it.

• Completely erase it so it is invisible.

• Use white-out or correction tape over the mistake.

• You are not allowed to make a mistake and have to start over.

SMART Goals stand for what?

• Small - Multiple - Awesome - Relevant - Tough

• Scientific - Mathematical - Artistic - Reading - Technology

• Specific - Measurable - Attainable - Relevant - Time Based

• Super - Mario - Always - Races - Turtles
