Technology or Not Technology
This type of technology was created by an engineer and a computer engineer to help solve complex math problems
What is a calculator
Availability of materials
What step of the EDP follows step 2: Explore
What is Make and Test phase
how humans change the natural world to meet a want or need
what is technology
design solutions to meet a want or need, main goal is to solve problems
What is engineer
Which is not a type of technology: car, computer, insect, park bench
what is insect
Fun for students and adults
What is criteria
The first step of the engineering design process is finding a what?
What is a problem
The process of designing new or improved technology
what is engineering
ask questions and investigate to add knowledge, help engineers understand problems
what is scientists
This type of technology was created using wood that allows us to sit for hours
what is a chair
Works well with a big group
what is a criteria
In the engineering design process, you do not need to improve your model, project, or experiment once you have tested it.
What is false
a model for testing
prototype
a big event or mystery in science that makes us curious
what is the anchoring phenomenon
A mechanical engineer helped build the machines that are used to cut and stitch the cloth together
what is a coat/jacket
there is a budget, and you have 15 minutes to finish the project
What is a constraint
Identify criteria and constraints, research the problem, and define the problem belong to which phase of the EDP
What is the explore phase
the desirable features of a solution
what is criteria
a smaller piece we can test or observe to help answer the big question or mystery
Name 5 types of technology used in the classroom
Ex. Computer, Smart Board, Desk, Chair, Pencil, Air Conditioner
Explain the difference between a criteria and a constraint, give an example.
Criteria are guidelines or desirable features of a solution, while constraints are an absolute limit or rule.
Make a prototype, Modify the prototype, and test the prototype will belong to what two phases of the EDP
What is Make & Test and Improve & Test
a decision to give up quality or feature of a solution to gain a different quality or feature
what is a tradeoff
The five steps of the engineering design process in order
What is problem, explore phase, make and test phase, improve and test phase, and solution
