ENGINEERING
What type of engineer designs and oversees the construction of roads, bridges, and dams?
Civil Engineer
What is the main purpose of the “Evaluate” step in the Engineering Design Process?
To assess how well the solution meets the requirements and criteria, and to determine if it solves the problem effectively.
What is the difference between a prototype and a model in the context of the EDP?
A prototype is a working version used for testing and refining the design
Which of the following is NOT a way to publish your engineering design solution?
Keeping all results private
What is the main goal of the “Improve” step in the Engineering Design Process?
To make the solution better by identifying weaknesses and making changes based on testing and feedback.
What is the primary role of a mechanical engineer?
To design and build machines, like engines and factory equipment
Which activity best represents the “Evaluate” stage?
Testing the solution and analyzing results
Which of the following is an example of a conceptual model?
A flow chart outlining the steps a user will take when interacting with a new app
Why is it important to include data and evidence when publishing your engineering solution?
Including data and evidence supports your conclusions, shows how well your solution works, and helps others trust and understand your results.
Following the "improve" step of the EDP, what is the most appropriate next action?
Build a new prototype based on the improvements and begin the testing phase again.
Which type of engineer is most likely to work on improving the efficiency of a manufacturing process?
Industrial Engineer
True or False: During the “Evaluate” step, you compare your solution’s performance to the original criteria and constraints.
True
After selecting the best conceptual design, what is the next step an engineer must undertake, and what does it involve?
detailed design phase
True or False: Publishing your results allows others to learn from your work and possibly improve upon it.
True
Which activity best represents the “Improve” stage?
Testing and redesigning the solution
Which type of engineer would be responsible for designing medical devices such as artificial limbs or surgical instruments?
Biomedical Engineer
List two things you should do during the “Evaluate” step.
During the detail design phase, what does an orthographic projection communicate to a manufacturer?
An orthographic projection provides several two-dimensional views of a 3D object,
What is the main purpose of the “Publish” (or “Communicate”) step in the Engineering Design Process?
To share the solution, results, and findings with others through reports, presentations, or demonstrations.
what action should the student take to improve their design?
Continue developing Prototype B as it performed the best and look for ways to improve it further.
An engineer who designs the circuits and develops the software that runs on computers is known as
Computer/Software Engineer
After evaluating your design, you find that it only partially meets the requirements. What should you do next according to the EDP?
Identify what needs improvement and return to earlier steps to modify and enhance the design.
Why is it advantageous to create several different prototypes during the testing phase?
assistive bio-engineering
List two methods engineers use to publish or communicate their solutions.
After testing your prototype, you notice it does not meet all requirements. What should you do next according to the EDP?
Analyze the results, identify what needs to be improved, and modify the design to address those issues.
