Defining a Problem

What is the primary role of engineers as discussed in the video?

• To write novels

• To create art and music

• To solve complex problems

• To teach mathematics

What is the first step in the engineering process?

• Building a prototype

• Testing solutions

• Defining the problem

• Gathering materials

In the canyon example, what is identified as the solvable problem?

• Building a bridge

• Climbing down and up the canyon

• Swimming across the river

• Flying across the canyon

Why is it important to define a problem in a solvable way?

• To make it more complex

• To ensure it can be solved

• To avoid solving it

• To make it more interesting

What does the video suggest is key to being a good engineer?

• Solving problems without a plan

• Defining the problem in a solvable way

• Ignoring the problem

• Avoiding questions
