The engineering design process is rigid and not flexible.
True
False
Select the correct answer. The engineering design process is an automated / iterative process where solutions are developed, tested and improved to optimize a solution within constraints.
Automated process only
Automated and iterative
Iterative process only
Neither automated nor iterative
When is iteration used in the engineering design process?
Only in emergencies
Only in the second half
Only in the first half
Anytime someone goes back to a previous step
There is only one engineering design process.
True
False
What is recorded in an engineering notebook?
Steps
Technical information
All answer choices are correct
Ideas and drawings
Select all goals that should be achieved in the second step of the engineering design process: Ask critical questions, Identify other solutions in the market, Identify the needs of the project, List brainstormed ideas.
Identify project needs only
All listed goals should be achieved
Identify market solutions only
Ask critical questions only
Project constraints and criteria must be followed.
True
False
Which is NOT a common constraint?
Solutions
Budget
Materials
Timelines
Adding a camera to the robot design is a constraint.
False
True
Which questions are asked in the second step of the engineering design process: Does it work as intended, Is the product safe, What is the goal?
Only functionality is asked
Goal is not asked
All listed questions are asked
Only safety is asked
Which questions should be asked in the second step of the engineering design process?
1.Does a solution already exist ? 2. How can existing technology be adapted? 3.Is the product consistent? 4.Is the product safe? 5. Who is the product for?
Only adaptation is considered
Only existing solutions matter
Only safety is checked
All listed questions are considered
Research should be recorded in the engineering notebook.
False
True
What should engineers consider when seeking design inspiration?
They can use anything found online
Ensure they are not infringing on patents
They are answering their questions
Online items need supervisor approval
Research is NOT commonly repeated, so engineers must gather all needed information during this step.
True
False
When should engineers move from research to the next step in the design process?
When research is approved by a supervisor
Whenever they want to
When confident in their research
After answering all questions
