The Engineering Design Process is iterative. An iterative process means:
You only try one solution and hope it works
You try at least five solutions before finding a working solution.
You try as many solutions as you need until you find a working solution.
You try as many solutions as you need until you find a perfect solution.
A requirement in the engineering design process is defined as: __________?
Features and functions of a system or part that are essential
Any restriction on technology, resources or techniques to be used that defines a project's limitations
Approach that an engineer uses to solve problems or achieve goals
Something that constrains your hands so that you have to type one handed
If an engineer is testing a new product and notices that it does not always perform well, the engineer should
Ignore the test results and continue to the next step of the Engineering Design Process
Redefine a different problem to solve
Go back to an earlier step of the Engineering Design Process and change the design, try to fix the product, then test the product again
Quit, because only bad engineers have product ideas that are not perfect.
A transportation engineer involved in designing a traffic light system for an intersection is most likely to conduct a vehicle count at the intersection during which of the following stages of the engineering design process?
Identifying the problem
Prototyping solutions
Brainstorming and researching the problem
Testing and improving
