| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Brainstorming | A group technique for solving problems, generating ideas, stimulating creative thinking, etc. by unrestrained spontaneous participation in discussion. |
| Constraint | A limit to a design process, may be such things as appearance, funding, space, materials, and human capabilities |
| Design | A plan or drawing produced to show the look and function or workings of something before it is built or made |
| Design Brief | A written plan that identifies a problem to be solved, its criteria, and its constraints. |
| Design Statement | A part of a design brief that challenges the designer, describes what a design solution should do without describing how to solve the problem |
| Engineering Notebook | A legal document that is used in patent activities to prove the origin of an idea that led to a solution, when events or ideas occurred, aid in turning the idea into a solution, and show when an idea became a working solution. |
| Prototype | A full-scale working model used to test a design concept by making actual observations and necessary adjustments. |
| Research | The systematic study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions. |
| How might we create the best possible solution to a problem? | Engineers try to think "outside the box" in order to solve new problems or find ways toimprove current solutions. |
| What is the most effective way to generate potential solutions to a problem? How many alternate solutions should you generate? | Brainstorming with a group, research and testing possible solutions |
| What is an engineer? | Engineering is the application of mathematics and scientific principles to better or improve life. An engineer is a person who is trained in and uses technological and scientific knowledge to solve practical problems. |
| What types of work do engineers do? | Research, Develop, Design, Supervise, Manage, Production and Construction, Operations, Plant management, and Sales |
| Why Keep an Engineering Notebook? | A document that is used in patent activities to... a. Prove the origin of an idea that led to a solution b. Prove when events or ideas occurred c. Prove diligence in turning the idea into a solution d. Prove when an idea became a working solution |
| What are the 4 best Practices for the Engineering Notebook? | a. Be Neat, b. be Accurate, c. be Legible, d. be Thorough. |
| Explain the concept of proportion | Paying close attention to the underlying basic shapes and the relative proportions of various features of the object will allow you to more accurately reflect the true shapes and proportions of the object in your sketch. |
| What is the purpose of sketching your ideas? | Sketches provide a means through which one can quickly and clearly communicate ideas |
| Design Process steps in order: | |
| What is the purpose of sketching your ideas? | Sketches provide a means through which one can quickly and clearly communicate ideas |
| Why would the ability to create realistic sketches make a person a more competent designer? | Representing existing objects and new ideas with sketches can make the design process more effective and efficient and greatly enhance the ability of others to understand your ideas. Allows them to communicate their ideas more clearly. |
| Define and differentiate invention and innovation. | Invention: A new product, system, or process that has never existed before, created by study and experimentation. Innovation: An improvement of an existing technological product, system, or method of doing something. |
