DM Lesson 1

Based on the logic presented in the decision matrix above, which is the best design idea for modeling a puzzle cube?

• Dice

• Linking cubes

• Sugar cubes

• Foam blocks

Which of the following tools is used by engineers and scientists to document their brainstorming, sketches, design ideas, solutions, and testing results?

• Engineering or scientific notebook

• Isometric or Cartesian graph paper

• Design brief or decision matrix

• Digital or paper portfolio

What is the role of a team manager?

• To document the team’s process as they work on a solution

• To test the model and give feedback based on results

• To make sure the team works together and all requirements are met

• To present the team’s work and final design solution

Examine the ruler below. What is the length of the three-block construct measured to the red line?

• 2-3/8 in.

• 2-3/4 in.

• 2.3 in.

• 2-1/2 in.

Given the incomplete drawings shown above, which view should be sketched to correctly align with the top and side views?

• Front view

• Top view

• Side view

• Bottom view

Which dimensioning convention does this violate?

• Duplicate dimensions

• Dimension lines outside the object

• Extension lines should not touch the object.

• Extension lines should not cross.

A design team brainstormed ideas for possible solutions. They sketched their ideas, compared them, and identified the best possible solution to pursue. Which step of the design process would this be?

• Define Problem

• Generate Concepts

• Design Solution

• Build and Test

• Present Solution

A design team showed and described their solution to the group in charge of building the studio. They explained the process they followed to arrive at their solution. Which step of the design process is this?

• Define Problem

• Generate Concepts

• Design Solution

• Build and Test

• Present Solution

A design team built and tested their solution. They used the mounting brace they created to attach the camera to the mount. During the test, they determined any flaws to the design. Which step of the design process is this?

• Define Problem

• Generate Concepts

• Design Solution

• Build and Test

• Present Solution

A design team evaluated the design opportunity. They asked questions, did research, and determined the design requirements for their solution. Which step of the design process is this?

• Define Problem

• Generate Concepts

• Design Solution

• Build and Test

• Present Solution
