To make design changes after testing
How does the engineering design process start?
By brainstorming possible solutions
By defining the design problem
By testing proposed solutions
By making design changes
What does the word 'problem' mean in engineering?
Something that is wrong
A statement that defines a needed solution
A complicated issue
A feature or quality of a solution
Specific requirements and standards a design solution must meet.
(a)Will your solution address ALL of the criteria with the problem.
True
False
(a) is making sure your solution addresses the most important needs.
Reorder the following
Determine the most important criteria or requirements of the solution.
Make sure your solution possesses design features that address the most critical needs first.
Anything else that helps address the needs of the problem is an “added bonus
(a) are limitations to solving a problem.
When choosing a solution you have to keep in mind
__________ and __________ .
cyclic process that involves making “tweaks” or small changes so to make something better.
Prioritization
Iterative
Criteria
Constraint
You should continue (a) and (b) until you are satisfied with the final solution or until you cannot (c) the solution any further.
When you are testing a solution or a protype, should setbacks stop you
Yes
No
What is the first step in the engineering process?
Prototype a solution
Communicate your design
Define the problem
Brainstorm multiple solutions
After you define your solution, what step comes next?
Identify constraints on your solution
Build a prototype
Communicate your design
Give up
What does "constraint" mean in the engineering design process?
A restriction for possible solutions
A physical object holding you down
Any possible solution
If you were given $10 to buy lunch for yourself, what constraint would you have?
Time
People to work with
Budget
You have defined your problem and identified all constraints. What is the next step?
Building a prototype
Brainstorming ideas
Testing and evaluating your prototype
After the brainstorm you have to:
Pick the easiest solution
Abandon the project
Select the most promising solution
What is "iterating"?
Throwing away the current prototype and starting again
Continuing with the solution even though it got negative reviews
Making changes to the current prototype based on tests and user feedback
How many times should an engineer iterate?
Only once
Two or three times
Never
As much as they need to
The final step of the engineering process?
Building a prototype
Communicating your solution
Enjoying tacos
What is the engineering design process?
A difficulty or need that must be overcome or solved is called a
(a)
Brainstorming is a process for...
writing sentences
generating new ideas
creating a game
watering plants
When you Brainstorm ideas you should only come up with one way to solve a problem?
True
False
What should you consider when choosing a solution that will best solve a problem?
Cost
Risks
Benefits and Feasibility
All of them
Reorder the following
Define the problem.
Brainstorm Possible Solutions.
Choose the Best solution.
Build and Test the Solution.
Improve and retest the solution.
1. What do you call the first or preliminary model of a solution?
Prototype
Beta
Drawback
Test
Imagine you're an engineer about to start a new project. What's the very first thing you'd do?
Identify a problem or need that needs to be addressed
Dive into some research
Start brainstorming wild and creative ideas
Jump right in and start building a prototype
Imagine you're a master chef in a bustling taco truck. What factors would you need to consider to whip up the perfect taco?
The ingredients you have, your budget, how much time you have, the number of hungry customers, and any dietary restrictions they might have
Your class schedule, your workout routine, when your friends are free
Your location, the current weather, how you're getting around
None of the above
Imagine you're an engineer in the middle of a design process. What would be the main goal of a brainstorming session?
To generate a storm of ideas for potential solutions
To dig into the archives and research existing solutions
To jump right in and start building a prototype
To gather and evaluate feedback from users
Imagine you're an engineer working on a cool new gadget. What would 'iterating' mean in your design process?
Tweaking your design based on the results of tests and feedback from users
Trying out multiple versions of your prototype
Starting the whole process from scratch every time
Ignoring what users have to say about your design
What is the first step of the design process?
Try to solve the problem or issue.
Define the problem
Google it.
Put a plan into action.
What is the second step of the design process?
Try to solve the problem or issue.
Define the problem
Generate concepts
Put a plan into action.
Constraints:
A systematic problem-solving strategy that designers follow to come up with a solution to a problem.
Are the goals or outcomes for a successful solution. Criteria should be determined before developing possible solutions.
Are limitations. framed as part of the problem; thing like money, time, size.
