1. Which of the following ways do engineers evaluate the ‘best’ solution?

(Hint: there are multiple answers)

a. Trial and Error.

b. Collect data from multiple solutions and compare it to the needs of the stakeholder.

c. Use the criteria and constraints to evaluate ideas.

d. Compare the strengths and weaknesses of each design.

e. Test the solution.

2. Why is it important to establish clear criteria and constraints for the EDP (Engineering Design Process)?

a. Clear criteria makes it easier to come up with ideas to solve the problem.

b. Criteria and constraints help narrow the design to fix the problem.

c. Constraints help the engineer make more of a profit.

d. Criteria and constraints ensure a working prototype.

3. Engineers solve problems: What problem does a Pushcart solve?

4. Engineers solve problems: What problem does a golf bag solve?
