the application of math and science to solve real world problems

electronic appliances

only for geniuses

The purpose of the design process is to

make a problem more complicated

solve problems effectively and efficiently

make sure an engineer is using their notebook correctly

slow down an engineer's work

Choose the steps of the design process in the appropriate order.

Which step of the design process is when the engineer analyzes and evaluates all the possible solutions and chooses the best possible solution considering the project criteria and constraints?

Develop a solution

Define the problem

Present the solution

Construct and test a prototype

What step of the design process is when you determine the effectiveness of your solution and how you could improve it?

Generate concepts

Define the problem

Present the solution

Evaluate the solution

Students are brainstorming and sketching ideas for possible solutions to a problem. What step of the design process is this?

Research

Define the problem

Evaluate the solution

Present a solution

Why do engineers work in teams when solving design challenges?

To reduce the workload of an individual

To complete work more quickly

To generate more ideas and greater creativity

All of the above

In engineering, the design process begins when

information about an existing product is gathered by an engineer

an engineering design team comes up with ideas for a new product

an engineer recognizes the need for a solution to a problem

a prototype has been created and successfully tested

When finding the solution to an engineering design problem, there is/are usually...

Only one possible correct solution

a very limited number of possible correct solutions

many possible correct solutions

no possible solutions

13.

Let's say a team of engineers is asked to design a pair of kids' tennis shoes for less than $20. They determine that the only way to manufacture shoes for this price is to use recycled materials. What is the team's constraint?

The shoes must be designed for kids.

The shoes must be made out of recycled materials.

The shoes must be comfortable and inexpensive.

The shoes must be under $20.
