Defining Engineering
The field that designs electrical systems and components, such as sensors.
What is electrical engineering?
Developing empathy for users, observing users interacting with the product, and identifying pleasure and pain points are examples of this stage in the design thinking method.
What stage is empathize?
Orville and Wilbur achieved the first sustained, controlled, powered heavier-than-air flight on December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina
What is the Wright Flyer?
This engineering field designs medical devices, equipment, and technology that help improve human health.
What is a biomedical engineer?
The period of time when conditions are right for a spacecraft to launch successfully.
What is a launch window?
Complex systems related to flight or space travel that require many engineering disciplines.
What are Aerospace systems?
When the drone still tilted too much, they adjusted the design and tried again until it flew more smoothly. This shows a step in Design Thinking.
What is testing?
The Soviet Union on October 4 launched the first artificial satellite to orbit the Earth and triggering the Space Race
What is Sputnik?
People must be able to contribute their ideas and perspectives in discussions for a team to benefit from this.
This is the ability to explain complex ideas clearly and persuade stakeholders
What is communication in engineering?
The field of engineering that integrates all subsystems so that a complete system works together.
What is systems engineering?
This stage in the design thinking method includes generating ideas & unconventional solutions to the identified problems, brainstorming, mind mapping, sketches, user flow, user stories, storyboards, and mood boards.
What stage is ideate?
He is known as the "Father of Aerodynamics." He defined lift, thrust, drag, and weight, and created the first real glider designs.
Who is Sir George Cayley?
This African American woman was a pioneering mathematician, known as the human computer, who played a major role in engineering and space exploration.
Who is Katherine Johnson?
This is the benefit a technology creates when it is useful, safe, ethical, and sustainable
What is the value in engineering?
CAD is a computer software used to create and modify digital designs or 3D models. (What is CAD?)
What is Computer-Aided Design?
A thing that a scientist wants to remain the same throughout the experiment. It is also called a constant.
Controlled Variable
The correct order of Aerospace Events: GPS Satellites, Wright Flyer, Space Shuttle, and Goddard Rocket?
What are the Wright Flyer, Goddard Rocket, Space Shuttle, and GPS Satellites?
Different experiences, more ideas, and creativity help create a wider range of possible solutions, which is what these teams do.
What are diverse engineering teams?
Rockets designed to be launched, recovered, and used again to reduce cost and expand access to space.
What are reusable rockets?
Chemical engineering
A series of steps that engineering teams use to guide them as they solve problems.
Engineering Design Method
He advanced aircraft design, especially flying wings (precursor to stealth bombers).
Who is Jack Northrop?
What is inclusion?
