The use of scientific, mathematical, and design principles to solve problems is known as
A list of requirements given to you for success of an engineering solution?
What is design criteria.
The type of engineer which solves design problems using their knowledge of chemistry and chemical reactions to develop solutions
What is Chemical Engineer

True or False: Engineers are extremely creative
What is True
What are the 3 steps in the engineering design process?
What is defining the problem, developing possible solutions, and optimizing the design solutions.
What are the 3 most common types of constraints in engineering designs?
What is time, cost, and scope.
The type of engineer which solves design problems using their knowledge of electricity and electric currents to develop solutions
What is electrical engineer
How might you go about optimizing a design solution?
What is continuesly testing and improving your design.
True or False: Engineers must be good and enjoy math.
What is False.
Is the Engineer Design Process linear
What is no.
when improving your design you need to look and see the value of what 4 things?
What is variables, objectives, constraints, and feasibility.
This type of engineers design radar and navigation systems
What is Electrical engineering.
What is the engineering design process
What is a series of steps to help you design something.
The gathering of information about ideas related to an engineering solution is known as
What is research
In what step will you brainstorm ways your design could be better to make your design work.
What is optimizing your design solution.
They represent and approach that enhances safety, mobility, and sustainability while reducing maintenance through design and engineering.
What is design criteria.
What type of engineer designs plastics and fertilizers
What is a chemical engineer
Why is it important to know the criteria and constraints at the end of the engineering design process?
What is because if you don't know your requirements and limitations you will waste precious time and create a design that won't work.

What is depends on the engineer design process you look at.
What is Design constraints.
The type of engineer which solves design problems using their knowledge of the physical and natural environment to develop solutions
What is Civil engineering
