Engineering Design Process
The steps an engineer takes to create a new piece of technology
What is the engineering design process?
structural engineer
This is a word that describes when like poles are brought close together. Example: N+N and S+S these magnets _______.
What is repel?
This is who/what creates technology.
What are inventors/engineers
This is Ms. Nelson's favorite color.
What is green?
This step would probably be considered the most creative step, it involves making multiple designs and can replicate a smaller model or even a full size model used for testing.
What is creating a prototype?
This is a natural disaster that takes places along fault lines. When the Earth's tectonic plates shift....this is what happens
What is an earthquake
This is what you call the ends of a magnet.
What are poles?
This is something designed by people to solve a problem or meet a need
What is technology?
This is Ms. Nelson's favorite multiplication fact.
What is 7x7=49?
This step is will show you if your prototype is successful or needs to be redesigned
What is testing
This is the slow process of when land can be taken away by water, ice, wind, or gravity. We witness this happen in our river and beach models.
What is erosion?
True or false: A magnet will attract to any metal surface.
+100 bonus points each: Name the types of metal that are magnetic.
False.
+100:
This gender has more STEAM related jobs.
What are males?
Males hold more than half of STEAM related jobs and there is a huge demand for females to become involved.
This DOES NOT mean males are smarter than females, this just means more males who go to college apply for jobs in the STEAM field.
Capital of Nevada.
What is Carson City?
This is the design process after you develop a solution. This includes a sketch, labels and a materials list.
What is creating a blueprint?
This is a disaster that occurs naturally. Examples include earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes...
What is a natural disaster
This is a type of train that moves with the force of magnets. It uses two sets of magnets: one set to repel and push the train up off the track, and another set to move the elevated train ahead, taking advantage of the lack of friction.
What is the Maglev Train
Besides geotechnical and optical engineering
Give me another engineering job.
Bonus: Explain what the primary focus of that position. (+$100)
Answers will vary.
Bonus answers MUST contain the words "design" "engineer" or "technology"
This is Ms. Nelson's favorite kind of candy.
What is chocolate?
The final step in the design cycle meant to inform scientists who are asking the same questions you scientists are.
What is evaluating and making improvements?
It is important to understand these as you test your prototype. Without an understanding you might not be able to adjust your invention to work. Some of these can be controlled and others cannot.
What are variables?
what is a force?
This is a piece of technology that helps people communicate if they cannot be close together.
answers will vary.
examples: cell phones, computers, tablets, Google Drive, Google Meetings
This is Ms. Nelson's favorite animal.
What are Turtles?
