Engineering Design Process
This is the first step of the Engineering Design Process, where you define what needs to be solved.
What is Identify the Problem?
This subsystem provides the force to move a vehicle forward.
What is the propulsion system?
True or False:
All systems take in inputs, go through processes, and produce outputs.
What is true?
This manufacturing process can help remove rough edges from a surface.
What is sanding?
This tool is used to drive nails into materials
What is a hammer?
This final step involves making improvements based on your test results.
What is Revise the Design?
This subsystem is the framework or body that holds everything together.
What is the structural system?
The energy, materials, or information that go into a system are called ____.
What are inputs?
This is a material that is typically strong, durable, and conductive.
What is metal?
This is a flexible measuring tool used to measure long distances.
What is a tape measure?
This step involves measuring results and recording what happens during testing.
What is Test and Collect Data?
This subsystem directs the path of the vehicle.
What is the guidance system?
The results a system produces are called ____.
What are outputs?
This manufacturing process involves putting parts together to create a finished product.
What is assembling?
This is a hand tool commonly used to grip, bend, or hold objects.
What is a plier?
These are limitations or restrictions that shape how a design is made.
What are constraints?
This subsystem supports the vehicle and helps it move smoothly by managing contact with surfaces.
What is the suspension system?
The actions or mechanisms that change inputs into useful work are known as ____.
What are processes?
This manufacturing process is often the final step used to improve the appearance or performance of a product.
What is finishing?
This is designed to grip and turn nuts and bolts.
What is a wrench?
These are the rules or standards used to judge how good a solution is.
What are criteria?
This subsystem allows for changes in speed and direction.
What is the control system?
Information about performance that helps improve the system is called ____.
What is feedback?
This manufacturing process is commonly used to create long objects with the same cross-sectional shape.
What is extruding?
This is a power tool commonly used for cutting curved or detailed shapes.
What is a jigsaw?
