Engineers design physical objects and processes that try to solve 

What is real-world problems?

100

 are evaluated based on how they address the criteria.

What are Results?

100

 may make it difficult or impossible to meet all the criteria for a design project.

Wager up to 1000!

What are Trade-offs?

100

this type of engineers design structures and systems to help minimize the impact of natural hazards.

What are Geohazards?

100

Define a new engineering problem related to limiting the effects of.

What are  natural disasters?

200

define the engineering problem.

What is Criteria? 

200

can describe consequences of actions but is not responsible for society’s decisions.

What is Science knowledge?

200

are made to a design based on evaluated results. Designs are modified in order to be tested again. This is called an iteration.

What are Modifications?

200

Solutions to a problem will differ based on the defined 

What is criteria?

200

Engineers improve the use of evidence in and the professionalism of their writing when they do this to their written proposals.

What is revise?

300

research is necessary when solving an engineering problem.

What is background?

300

this warning systems rely on data from different types of sensors to generate accurate and timely warnings.

What is Tsunami?

300

The results of each design test are evaluated based on how the design addresses the .

What is criteria?

300

Engineers take this into consideration during the iterative process (modifying the design at each iteration)

What is feedback?

300

 proposals are written for a professional audience and use topic-specific vocabulary words.

What are Strong?

400

 is a type of large, destructive ocean wave caused by a sudden shift in the seafloor.

What is a tsunami?

400

Plate motion that results in a very strong earthquake and causes this type of motion of the seafloor can cause tsunamis.

What is vertical?

400

Earthquakes must be above this magnitude to generate a tsunami.

What is 7.0?

400

For this type of designs, engineers complete several iterations, often combining the best parts of previous designs.

What is optimal?

400

An engineer's this type of proposal explains to others how and why a design solution works.

What is written?

500

 caused by earthquakes under the water.

What are Tsunamis?

500

Earthquakes are due to movement along the three types of plate boundaries

What are convergent, divergent, and transform?

500

 where one plate subducts under the other, are the main source of earthquakes that cause tsunamis because these plate boundaries are more likely to involve vertical plate movement that can cause tsunamis.

What are Convergent boundaries?

500

Engineers consider this by weighing the impact of each criterion against the others.

What are trade-offs?

500

Strong engineering proposals use this to describe why the design is optimal, including a discussion of trade-offs and comparisons to earlier iterations.

What is evidence?
