When completing a design task groups often use a design process. Some major
tasks in that process include: Brainstorming Solutions, Creating Technical
Drawings, Selecting an Approach using a Decision Matrix, and Creating a
Design Brief. Choose the answer which most likely describes the order these
tasks would be completed.
a. Decision Matrix, Brainstorming, Technical Drawings, Design Brief
b. Brainstorming, Design Brief, Decision Matrix, Technical Drawings
c. Design Brief, Brainstorming, Decision Matrix, Technical Drawings
d. Decision Matrix, Design Brief, Technical Drawings, Brainstorming -
ANSWER c
What type of inexpensive, physical model that shows your design but is not
necessarily functional, could be used in a classroom presentation?
a. Rapid prototype
b. Wire-frame
c. Inventor part
d. Mock-up - ANSWER d
Andrea and her team of mechanical engineers are discussing the limitations to
the design problem they have been given. They agree that the major factors they
must consider are: cost, durability, functionality, creativity and the time it takes
to design. In which step of the design process is their discussion likely
occurring?
a. Define Problem
b. Generate Concepts
c. Develop a Solution
d. Construct and Test Prototype
e. Evaluate Solution - ANSWER a
Which of the following is NOT typically part of a design brief?
a. Solution Expectations
b. Problem Statement c. Constraints
d. Decision Matrix - ANSWER a
, Tony and his design team were hired to develop a new synthetic rubber for bike
tires to be used by a local BMX manufacturer whose tires had been wearing too
quickly. The rubber tested well for grip, wear, and rough terrain performance.
Yet, their design was rejected after it was determined their cost was higher than
the manufacturer's maximum allowable price per tire. What did the design team
likely overlook in their design process?
a. Brainstorming Solutions
b. Validating the Problem
c. Identifying Criteria and Constraints
d. Analyzing Test Results - ANSWER c
Engineers use a(n) __________ to chronologically document all aspects of a
design project?
a. technical report b. portfolio c. daily log d. engineering notebook - ANSWER
d
A __________ is a full-size, physical model that is functional and can be tested.
a. scale model b. concept model c. mock up
d. prototype - ANSWER d
What tool used during the design process is picture below?
a. Parts list
b. Decision matrix
c. Bill of materials
d. Design Brief
LOOK AT PICTURE IN PACKET (#8) - ANSWER b
When working in teams it is always important to identify proper and acceptable
behaviors by establishing _______________ ?
a. daily logs
b. team norms
c. member roles
d. decision matrices - ANSWER b
What 3-dimensional sketch is drawn true size in its height and width but
foreshortened in its depth, as illustrated below?
