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

100

You should only write using this in your Engineering Notebook

What is a Pen

100

This must happen for communication to happen.

What is the listener must be able to interpret the message

100

The first step of the design process

What is Define the Problem

100

Computation thinking allows engineers to do this with some of the decision making processes

What is automate or do automatically

200

This type of system model is good for showing contrast and comparing.

What is a VENN diagram

200

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

200

This is the part of the process involving experimentation of designs

What is construct and test

200

For computational thinking to work, you must be able to collect this

This is where I put a big X in my notebook

Where is empty space on the page

300

Paraphrasing and asking questions is this part of active listening.

What is summarizing

This is how I know if anything pasted into my notebook has been removed.

What is by signing or marking over it's corners

400

Not judging a person by how they look when they are speaking is this part of active listening

What is having an open mind

400

I should put these in my Engineering Notebook to make sure my colleagues can follow my steps.

What are headings

400

Depicting and organizing data in models, graphs, charts, words, and/or images

What is Representing Data

500

These systems have a feedback loop that adjusts the system as it is running to maintain a good output.

What is a closed system

500

Everything in my notebook is kept in this order

What is chronological

500

Most people listen to reply.  You should listen to do this

What is understand

500

This step involves research into the problem.

What is Generate Concepts

500

Creating a sequence of steps to solve a problem or accomplish a task
