Engineering Design Process
What is the first step of the engineering design process?
The first step is defining the problem.
What feature allows you to organize your files in Windows 10?
File Explorer allows you to organize files.
Write the number 0.00056 in scientific notation.
5.6×10−4
Define displacement.
A measurement between the starting position and final position of an object regardless of the path followed
Define velocity.
The change in an object’s position divided by time.
Name one deliverable you would produce during the generate concepts phase.
Decision Matrix OR concept sketch
Describe how to access the Control Panel in Windows 10.
You can access the Control Panel by searching for it in the Start menu.
Convert 1.5 kilometers to meters.
1.5 km=1500 meters
What is the difference between speed and velocity?
Velocity includes direction.
What does acceleration measure?
Acceleration measures the rate of change of velocity.
What is the first step to concept sketching?
drawing simple shapes
What is the purpose of Task Manager in Windows 10?
Task Manager helps monitor and manage running applications and processes.
What is the difference between scientific and engineering notation?
Scientific notation expresses numbers as a product of a number between 1 and 10 and a power of ten; engineering notation uses powers of ten that are multiples of three.
Describe what the trajectory of a projectile looks like.
The trajectory of a projectile typically forms a parabolic shape.
Describe what is meant by a "trajectory."
The path followed by a projectile flying or an object moving under the action of given forces.
What is the importance of testing in the engineering design process?
Documentation helps keep track of decisions, changes, and provides a reference for future projects.
Name one way to customize the desktop background in Windows 10.
Right-click on the desktop, select "Personalize," and choose a background.
Write 3.2 x 104 in engineering notation.
32×103
How can you determine acceleration from a velocity vs. time graph?
The slope of a velocity vs. time graph represents acceleration.
How can you describe motion using a graph?
Motion can be described by analyzing the slope of the position vs. time graph.
Name the 6 steps of the engineering design process and their deliverables.
Define the Problem: Design Brief
Generate Concepts: Decision Matrix and Concept Sketches
Develop a Solution: Notes on Design, technical drawings
Construct and Test: Photos, prototype
Evaluate Solution: Analysis of the design
Present Solution: Technical Report
How can you create a shortcut for an application on your desktop?
You can create a shortcut by right-clicking the application and selecting "Create shortcut."
Convert 5 MV to mV.
5x106 V
Explain how to interpret a position vs. time graph for an object at rest.
A position vs. time graph for an object at rest is a horizontal line.
What is the significance of the slope in a position vs. time graph?
The slope represents the velocity of the object; a steeper slope indicates faster motion.
