What do engineers do?
Engineers solve problems.
All of the above.
Engineers help improve the quality of life for people.
Engineers design rockets, medical devices, cars, buildings, bridges, headphones, and much more.
What is the engineering design process?
The EDP is a set of steps engineers use to solve a problem.
The EDP is a quick way for engineers to check their calculations.
The EDP is how things are manufactured.
The EDP is all about the best way to do computer aided design.
Which is NOT a reason why it is important to follow the EDP?
The EDP helps document the plan.
The EDP is a way to skip testing so engineers can start manufacturing products sooner.
The EDP helps define a problem so you can test and evaluate the solution.
The EDP is a way to save cost.
What are the steps of the EDP in order?
Ask, Create, Plan, Test, Improve
Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Improve (repeating the last three steps as needed).
Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Explain
Ask, Imagine, Create, Improve, Test
What are design constraints?
Constraints tell us how much weight a design can hold.
Constraints are one of the steps of the EDP.
Constraints are limits, such as time, materials, or cost.
Constraints are how small the prototype is.
What is design criteria?
Limits on a design or project
Requirements for what the solution needs to accomplish
Rules that need to be followed
A way to brainstorm what to do to solve the problem
Reorder the following steps of the Engineering Design Process:
ASK
IMAGINE
PLAN
CREATE
IMPROVE
In this step, the problem that you are trying to solve is defined.
ASK
IMAGINE
PLAN
CREATE
IMPROVE
In this step, engineers think of all of the possible ideas for how to solve the problem. They usually bounce their ideas off of other people.
ASK
IMAGINE
PLAN
CREATE
IMPROVE
In this step, dimensions, materials, notes, and ideas are documented to form a plan.
ASK
IMAGINE
PLAN
CREATE
IMPROVE
In this step, the prototype is built and tested and then evaluated to see how well it solves the problem.
ASK
IMAGINE
PLAN
CREATE
IMPROVE
In this step, designers determine how efficient the design is and if it could be made better in some way. For example, less costly, safer, timelier, or better.
