Got Some Solutions?

The video revisits the topic of engineering, emphasizing the importance of defining problems and exploring multiple solutions. It uses a gorge-crossing scenario to illustrate how engineers think creatively to solve problems. The video highlights that there are often multiple solutions to a problem and introduces the concept of evaluating these solutions for feasibility. It encourages students to think like engineers and reassures them that problem-solving often involves exploring various possibilities.

What is the first step in the engineering process that was emphasized in the introduction?

• Evaluating results

• Building prototypes

• Defining the problem

• Testing solutions

What was the initial solution proposed for crossing the gorge?

• Flying with a jetpack

• Using a hang glider

• Climbing down and up

• Building a bridge

Which of the following was NOT mentioned as a potential solution for crossing the gorge?

• Using an umbrella

• Using a hang glider

• Using balloons

• Building a zip line

Why is it important to come up with more than one solution to a problem?

• To avoid making any decision

• To impress others with creativity

• To have backup options if one fails

• To make the process more complicated

What is the next step after proposing multiple solutions to a problem?

• Ignoring the problem

• Implementing all solutions

• Evaluating the feasibility of each solution

• Choosing the most expensive solution
