MS-ETS1-3: Engineering Design Process

What is the first step in the engineering design process?

• Test the final product

• Identify the problem or need

• Create a prototype

• Gather materials and tools

Why is it important to consider constraints and criteria when developing possible solutions?

• Because constraints and criteria are irrelevant in the development of solutions

• To make the solutions as complicated and convoluted as possible

• To ignore the specific requirements and limitations of the problem

• It is important to consider constraints and criteria when developing possible solutions to ensure that the solutions are feasible, practical, and aligned with the specific requirements and limitations of the problem.

Explain the difference between an initial design and a final design.

• The initial design is the final version, while the final design is the first draft

• The initial design is the first draft or concept, while the final design is the refined and completed version ready for implementation or production.

• The initial design is the completed version, while the final design is the rough draft

• The initial design is the refined version, while the final design is the concept

How can brainstorming help in developing possible solutions?

• Brainstorming leads to a narrow range of ideas and solutions

• Brainstorming helps in developing possible solutions by generating a variety of ideas and perspectives.

• Brainstorming limits creativity by only focusing on one perspective

• Brainstorming discourages collaboration and teamwork

What role does testing and evaluating play in the engineering design process?

• Testing and evaluating are not important in the engineering design process

• Testing and evaluating are only useful for minor design changes, not for the overall process

• Testing and evaluating only add unnecessary time and cost to the process

• Testing and evaluating help in identifying flaws and ensuring the final product meets standards.

Describe a situation where you had to develop possible solutions to a problem. How did you go about it?

• I just picked the first solution that came to mind without considering other options

• I ignored the problem and hoped it would go away on its own

• I asked someone else to come up with the solutions and didn't get involved

• Gathered the team to brainstorm and identify the root cause of the issue, listed out all possible solutions, evaluated each one based on feasibility and impact, implemented the most viable solution, and monitored its effectiveness.

How can communication and collaboration with others help in the engineering design process?

• It can lead to a lack of originality and creativity in the design

• It can help in generating new ideas, identifying potential issues, and ensuring that the final design meets the needs and requirements of various stakeholders.

• It can result in miscommunication and conflicts, hindering the progress of the project

• It can slow down the design process and create unnecessary delays

Explain the importance of refining and improving possible solutions in the engineering design process.

• Refining and improving possible solutions in the engineering design process is not important as the initial solutions are always perfect.

• The engineering design process does not require refining and improving possible solutions as it only adds unnecessary complexity.

• Identifying and correcting flaws or inefficiencies in initial solutions is not necessary in the engineering design process.

• Refining and improving possible solutions in the engineering design process is important because it allows for the identification and correction of any flaws or inefficiencies in the initial solutions. This iterative process helps to optimize the final design, leading to better performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
