This is the definition for __________.
What is engineering?
100
The house must be built with two stories.
This is an example of_________
What is a requirement?
100
Students must create a landing platform to protect and egg from breaking upon impact. There are several requirements and constraints.
(Hint: They haven't done anything yet, this simply explains what they have to do.)
This represents ____________ in the design process.
What is identify the problem?
100
Energy in motion
What is kinetic energy?

In order to brainstorm and create sketches of your prototype design, you must first research. This is important because _____________
What is:
without research, you don't know what to use or how to use it.
200
a definition for the Engineering Design Process
What is the step-by-step process that engineers use to analyze and solve a problem?
200
These are the eight steps of the engineering design process in order.
What are:
Identify the problem
Research
Develop possible solutions
Select best possible solution
Create prototype
Test/Evaluate
Redesign
Communicate
200
AFTER testing, students work to MAKE IMPROVEMENTS to their designs, keeping in mind the idea of energy and shock absorbency.
This represents __________ in the design process.
What is redesign?
200
Potential enegy
What is stored energy?
200
Before engineers can brainstorm develop solutions to a problem they must do this. This step also comes before researching.
What is identify a problem?
300
S.T.E.M. is an acronym for these words.
What are science, technology, engineering, and math?
300
This step takes place when the engineer uses the materials and sketches to make something.
What is creating a prototype?
300
Groups of students create a blueprint (AS THEIR FINAL SKETCH) of the parking garage prototype they will build.
This represents _________ in the design process.
What is selecting the best solution?
300
A bat hanging still from your ceiling has this kind of energy.
What is potential energy?
300
When we created our parking garages, we had to work under a budget. This is an example of a ___________ (a limitation under which an engineer must design).
What is a constraint?
400
a. A limitation that an engineer must work under while designing. This is a defintion for ______________
b. A rule that an engineer must follow when designing; the bare minimum;bottom line - This is a definition for _______________
a. What is a constraint?
b. What is a requirement?
400
These are three types of engineers.
What are:
Mechanical
Biomedical
Architectural
Electrical
Any others that we have mentioned
400
Make changes to parking garages so they will hold more weight. Test new design to see if it holds more weight.
The STEP THAT FOLLOWS THIS STEP in the design process is ______
What is communicate?
400
A roller coaster going down a hill has this type of energy.
What is potential and kinetic energy?
400
a. A person who creates a blueprint based on constraints and requirements of the customer.
Who is an architect?
500
A person who uses the design process to solve a problem.
What is an engineer?
500
The definition of redesign.
What is the act of making improvements to a design so it can work better?
500
Present information gathered after testing and redesigning, to explain how well your prototype worked.
The step that comes BEFORE this step in the design process is _____
What is redesign?
500
A jogger running on a flat road has this kind of energy.
What is kinetic energy?
500
A first model of something that is tested in the design process. Other things will be built after this.
