The steps that engineers follow.
What is the Engineering Design Process?
This type of engineer primarily designs, builds, and tests aircraft and spacecraft.
What is an aeronautical engineer or aerospace engineer?
What does STEM stand for?
Science, Technology, Engineering and Math
This inventor had over 1000 patents and is best known for inventing the light bulb.
Who is Thomas Edison?
Both the engineering design process and the scientific method
A - start with a hypothesis
B - produce a product
C - involve analyzing results of tests
What is "involve analyzing results of tests"?
The step in the engineering process in which engineers develop a prototype.
What is plan and build?
This type of engineer focuses on constructing, designing, and maintaining physical structures used by the public, such as dams, bridges, tunnels, roads, airports, subway systems, and water supply systems.
What is a civil engineer?
The main goal of engineering.
What is solve a problem?
An initial test model of a product is known as a...
What is a prototype?
In this step of the design process the engineer makes adjustments to the design.
What is test and redesign?
These engineers design and manufacture materials and products using scientific principles from chemistry, biology, math, and physics. They may also come up with innovative processes to use and transform energy.
What is a chemical engineer?
The lever, pulley, screw are examples of these...
What is a simple machine?
Attributes of a design that can be measured; a set of standards upon which a decision is based.
What is a criteria?
If a design flaw is discovered, the next logical step for the design team is to...
What is modify the design?
This branch of engineering combines physics and mathematics principles to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. It is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering branches.
What is a mechanical engineer?
An invention is the creation of a new product or introduction of a process for the first time. If someone improves on or makes a significant contribution to an existing product or process this is called a(n)...
What is an innovation?
A limitation or condition that must be satisfied by a design, including materials, cost, size, labor, etc.
What is a constraint?
When brainstorming should you try to generate a large quantity or good quality ideas?
What is a large quantity?
These engineers design, test, and maintain devices that use or produce electricity, from small objects like microchips and computers to large-scale projects like satellites and power station generators.
What is an electrical engineer?
Things science allows people to make and do. New cars, new computers, robots are all examples of this.
What is technology?
Inventor of alternating current.
Who is Nikolai Tesla?
