1.

A design team is working on creating a new energy-efficient light. They have completed the following steps: - They asked questions, did research, and determined the design requirements for their solution. - They brainstormed, sketched their ideas, compared them, and identified the best possible solution to pursue. - They created detailed technical drawings, including CAD drawings, to use to produce their solution. What is the next step of the design process that they should complete?

a)

Develop and Test Solution

b)

Present the Solution

c)

Evaluate Solution

d)

Design a Solution

2.

Which of the following behaviors can negatively impact team success?

d)

Group members understand their tasks and help each other achieve the goals

3.

Which of the following best describes why sketching is an effective communication tool?

a)

Designers can color parts of a sketch to show texture and communicate an object’s appearance

b)

Sketching allows designers to accurately communicate details of their ideas with lots of information at once

c)

Using sketches to communicate ideas makes the design neat and pleasing to the eye

d)

Sketching tells a story about the design, such as how it might be used or where it will be made

c)

A decision matrix determines the best solution by comparing design ideas to the criteria and constraints

d)

A decision matrix is a contract between the client and the designer

10.
