Systems Thinking
This happens when one part of a system is missing, malfunctions, or isn't built correctly.
What is the whole system breaks/fails/stops working
You should only write using this in your Engineering Notebook
What is a Pen
This must happen for communication to happen.
What is the listener must be able to interpret the message
The first step of the design process
What is Define the Problem
Computation thinking allows engineers to do this with some of the decision making processes
What is automate or do automatically
This type of system model is good for showing contrast and comparing.
What is a VENN diagram
These are the page numbers you should start activities on
What are odd number pages
Clearing out distractions, noticing the speakers tone of voice and facial expression, and body language are ways of doing this part of active listening
What is paying attention
This is the part of the process involving experimentation of designs
What is construct and test
For computational thinking to work, you must be able to collect this
What is Data
This type of model gives you the sense of the important parts of the system, without realistic images.
What is a conceptual model
This is where I put a big X in my notebook
Where is empty space on the page
Paraphrasing and asking questions is this part of active listening.
What is summarizing
The design process is used to do this when solving a problem.
What is keep your organized, or organize your work.
Temperatures, Populations, Sizes, Ages, Pressures are all forms of this
What is Data
This type of system model allows you to follow a path through the processes and decisions a system makes.
What is a flowchart
This is how I know if anything pasted into my notebook has been removed.
What is by signing or marking over it's corners
Not judging a person by how they look when they are speaking is this part of active listening
What is having an open mind
I should put these in my Engineering Notebook to make sure my colleagues can follow my steps.
What are headings
Depicting and organizing data in models, graphs, charts, words, and/or images
What is Representing Data
These systems have a feedback loop that adjusts the system as it is running to maintain a good output.
What is a closed system
Everything in my notebook is kept in this order
What is chronological
Most people listen to reply. You should listen to do this
What is understand
This step involves research into the problem.
What is Generate Concepts
Creating a sequence of steps to solve a problem or accomplish a task
What is Algorithmic thinking
