The first step of the Engineering Design Process (EDP) is...

What is "Identify a need"?

100

Iterative testing means...

What is "Design testing that is repeated many times for best result."?

100

List the phone policy for class...

What is "No phones during class and silenced, unless its the last two minutes before bell"?

100

Using Wind energy lessens air pollution and (benefits/harms) ecosystems... 

What is "Benefits"? 

100

Cost of the project, amount of materials, and time restrictions are examples of...

What is "Constraint"

200

This step requires a variety of solutions...

What is "Brainstorm solutions"?

200

This is accomplished when an engineer develops a solution to a need...

What is "Create something"?

200

This is Miss. Conde's Bathroom policy...

What is "Three at a time, ask for permission, and be on task"?

Every morning, Ms. Ana looks at the birds eating from the birdfeeder outside her window. After a storm, she realized the birdfeeder collapsed, so she decided to create one.

Before installing it outside, she used recycled materials like cardboard, plastic bottles, and popsicle sticks to construct a small-scale model of the bird feeder, testing its stability and functionality.

Reread the paragraph that is underlined. What step of the engineering design process is it showing?

What is "build a prototype"?

(Scientists /Engineers ) collected data shown in the graph to answer the question "is there a relationship between quagga mussel and Diporeia populations?" Together scientists and engineers are working on understanding this relationship in order to solve problems related to the decline in the Diporeia population. (PAGE 43 Q5)

What is "Scientists"?

300

This is the step of the EDP where you would check a design's performance and usability...

What is "build and test prototype"?

300

This is what you test for when building and testing a prototype...

What is "to see if its flawed, collect data, and improve the design"?

300
Food and drink policy during class..

What is "No food or open canned drinks, bottles must close or will be poured out"?

300

PAGE 45 Q9: The pencil is a device that has been improved over time through the engineering design process. How do a pencil's design features satisfy the CRITERIA (requirement) and CONSTRAINTS (limit) for a writing tool? How can the design be improved?

What is "answers may include portability, weight, inexpensive, come from easily obtained resources, can be sharpened, disposable. Improvements may include " waterproofing, reusable, recyclable, less breakable, more easily sharpened"?

Lake Whitefish depend on Diporeia for food. Which of the following likely happened to the lake whitefish population over the time period shown on the graph (PAGE 43 Q4) 

A. It decreased 

B. It increased.

C. It stayed the same. 

What is "A. It decreased"?

400

This characterizes a scientific experiment...

What is "Study something under controlled conditions"?

400

Things you need to know when identifying your need...

What is "if the need is justifiable and valid"?

400

PAGE 46 Q10: Compare and contrast the similarities and differences between the stages of the web design process and engineering design process.(DETAIL!!!)

What is "EDP: planning, designing, and testing like WDP. WDP: no decision questions for iteration like the diamonds in the engineering process diagram. People in EDP are scientists and engineers. WDP are programmers, webmasters, and designers. 

400

(PAGE 43 Q1) Wind is an important renewable energy resource. These wind turbines designs were developed by (scientist/engineer). Each design has its own advantages and disadvantages. (Scientists/engineers) investigated each type of wind turbine to answer questions about how the turbines affect migrating birds.

What is "1.Engineers" and "2.Scientists"?

400

Diporeia is a shrimp-like organism that is native to Lake Michigan. The quagga mussel was introduced to this aquatic ecosystem by humans in the late 1980s. As the graph (PAGE 43 Q3) shows, the Diporeia population (Increased/Decreased) as the mussel population (Increased/Decreased).

What is "1.decreased" and "2.increased"?

500

All the steps of the Engineering Design Process in order are...

Identify a need, 

500

How does the iterative testing step help engineers improve their designs?

What is "allows engineers to make multiple changes or revisions to their design based on feedback and testing results to improve and find the best solution"?

500

At what stage in the web design process are web designers most likely to return to planning with feedback for design improvement? What stage of the web design process most closely resembles the stage of EDP at which the solution is implemented? (DETAIL!)

What is "Web designers are most likely to return to the planning stage with feedback from the testing stage. The web "launch" stage most closely resembles the stage of the EDP at which the solution is implemented"?

Joe’s backpack is very uncomfortable, it is also very small and has very limited space. He carries most of his things in his hands because they don’t fit. He has the idea of designing a better backpack that is comfortable to carry and has enough space for books and supplies.

To do this, he starts researching different types of materials and backpack designs to understand what makes a backpack comfortable and functional.

What step or steps of the engineering design process can you identify?

What is "Step 1: Identify the need, Step 2: identify criteria and constraints, and Step 3: Brainstorm multiple solutions."?

Looking at PAGE 45 Q8: What are the INPUTS and OUTPUTS of the production stage? How would a decrease in the outputs of the forest or graphite mine affect the productions stage's INPUTS and OUTPUTS?

What is "inputs of the production stage are lumber and graphite, while the output is pencils. A decrease in the outputs of the forest or of the mine would result in a decrease in both the inputs and outputs of the production stage"?
