Assignment 3: Design Improvements
Correctly complete the statement below with the correct term. When external appearances
have little overall significance, they are termed ___. -(correct answer)superficial Which of the
following best describes an objective statement? -(correct answer)a goal or aim The
engineering design process includes which of the following aspects? -(correct
answer)brainstorming There are seven steps in the engineering design process. Why is it
important that the engineer not skip a step? -(correct answer)Not skipping steps ensures that
the best possible design is chosen and developed. What is the unspoken step every Christian
engineer should include in the engineering design process? -(correct answer)Ask God for
guidance. Explain briefly what God did in order to establish sustainability, giving a Bible
reference (address only) as Scriptural proof. -(correct answer)(this is open-ended, please
paraphrase) God commanded humans to replenish Earth. Genesis 1:27-29 Which of the
following correctly explains why it would be beneficial for an engineer to become a member of
the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program? -(correct answer)It can
add to an engineer's credentials and qualifications. ___ are written to "maximize" or "minimize"
a specific value associated with the product needs in order to define the goal or aim of the
design process. -(correct answer)Objective statements What is the way to build on previous
designs? -(correct answer)all of the above Correctly complete the statement below with the
correct term. I Corinthians ___ reminds believers that talent, intelligence, and creativity stems
from the Heavenly Father. -(correct answer)4:7 In a paragraph of no less than one hundred
fifty words, explain at least three ways that engineers explore possible solutions in their
projects. Complete your answer in the provided textbox, not in an uploaded file. -(correct
answer)(this is open-ended, please paraphrase) Three ways engineers explore possible
solutions in their projects are: prototyping, analogies, and reverse-engineering. All of these can
aid one in finding solutions to their project, or forward one towards the solution itself.
Prototyping helps one to see real-time function, and correct errors in schematics. It illustrates a
product one wants to produce, before one uses resources to produce many. Analogies help
one to think in different or unique ways, or "outside of the box". One example includes
comparing a lunchbox to a house. Both contain things. A house contains couches, TVs, tables,
chairs, etc. A lunchbox contains different foods, utensils, condiments etc. Both need to
organize stuff in it neatly, and be structurally appealing. Approaching your issue with a different
mindset is helpful. Reverse-engineering is when one starts with the end product, and works
backwards to help one fundamentally understand the process of how it is made; and
potentially see unnecessary steps or rethink the steps. Ultimately, doing any of these can help
one to rethink their design, or move closer to a potential solution. Which option demonstrates
what will happen once a prototype is developed? -(correct answer)Engineers will compile
information via tests to determine how to identify issues and then resolve them. Which of the
following best distinguishes between superficial design improvements and functional design
improvements? -(correct answer)Superficial design improvements are typically only trivial
