Engineering Concepts and Processes

What is the primary role of engineers?

• To manage large teams.

• To design and build things to solve problems.

• To conduct scientific experiments.

• To invent new technologies.

What is the Engineering Process?

• A method for conducting scientific experiments.

• A series of steps engineers follow to solve problems.

• A way to manage engineering projects efficiently.

• A process for manufacturing products.

What is the first step in the Engineering Process?

• Do your research.

• Develop a possible solution.

• Define the problem.

• Build a prototype.

What problem did Alexander Graham Bell aim to solve with his invention?

• The need for faster transportation.

• The difficulty and expense of long-distance communication.

• The lack of entertainment options.

• The challenge of building tall structures.

According to this video, what is the 2nd step in the Engineering Design Process?

• Develop a possible solution

• Do your research

• Test the prototype
• Define the problem

According to this video, what are the next 2 steps in the Engineering Design Process (EDP)

• Identify the problem
• Test the final solution
• Communicate results and findings
• Develop and design a possible solutions

What is the main purpose of the "Do Your Research" step in the Engineering Process?

• To immediately build a prototype.

• To make a list of questions and find existing solutions.

• To design the final product.

• To test the solution's effectiveness.

Why did Alfred Nobel invent dynamite?

• He enjoyed explosions.

• He wanted to create a new weapon.

• Miners and others needed a safer explosive.

• He aimed to improve communication technology.

What is the primary activity during the "Design Your Solution" step?

• Testing the prototype.

• Identifying the problem.

• Sketching out ideas and figuring out how the solution will work.

  (Making a plan.)

• Gathering information about existing solutions.

What are step 5 and 6?

• Build a prototype and test it.

• Define the problem and build

• Stop and start over

• Evaluate your solutions
