Which of the following best describes the primary goal of engineering?
To conduct scientific experiments
To solve problems and create solutions using scientific and mathematical principles
To study natural phenomena
To develop new mathematical theories
The Engineering Design Process is used to:
Increase human knowledge and understanding of the world
Prove theorems about technological processes
Provide solutions to human needs and wants
Understand human endeavors better
In engineering, what does the term “prototype” refer to?
A final product ready for mass production
An early sample or model built to test a concept or process
A detailed technical drawing
A computer simulation of a design
By defining the problem, the designer clearly identifies what humans:
feel
think and believe
understand
like and want
All engineers must have a Ph.D. to practice professionally.
True
False
The engineering design process is always linear and never requires revisiting previous steps.
True
False
Engineers never need to consider the social and ethical implications of their work.
True
False
Which of the following lists the correct 6 steps in the engineering design process?
Define, Research, Imagine, Prototype, Experiment, Tweak
Ask, Design, Build, Operate, Test, Sell
Research, Design, Build, Test, Market, Sell
Imagine, Plan, Build, Test, Operate, Improve
The process of checking to see if a solution to a problem already exists is part of which step in the engineering design process:
research
prototype
experiment
tweak
A prototype is a model that:
