Review Flashcards
Your team has been assigned a project to design a new product. The most effective first step in completing the project would be
Assign a team member or the leader conduct a design brief
When referring to the Political impact of technology on society, one is referring to
What regulations, laws, and policies would have to be created if the technology enters society
Which is not an important characteristic of an Engineering Design Journal
An EDJ should have other information in it such as passwords, account numbers, and personal phone calls
Which of the following would be a criteria for a project:
The machine must operate in hot and cold temperatures
Which of the following are effective techniques when creating a slide for a presentation. SELECT ALL THAT APPLY
Use contrasting dark and bright colors for the slide background and font
Make the font as large as possible but not allow a word from a bullet to move to a second line
Use color, bolding on some words to increase emphasis on the bullet
Do not use periods at the end of bullets
Spread the bullets out on the slide from top to bottom
Keep bullets to no more than about 5 words
Only put 3 to 4 bullets per slide
Finding the Root Cause of a problem means finding the source of the problem by asking a lot of “Why” questions
True
When using the techniques for Defining the Problem, one must use all the techniques learned together
False
During the development of any technology, their are always constraints associated with the development. Which of the following would not be considered a constraint
All answers are constraints
The primary purpose of a team charter is to
Outline the roles, responsibilities, and how members of a team will work together
You are requested to design a new device for a person with severe eye-seeing problems. You are trying to define the problem the person has. You do the following as shown in the picture below. This would be an example of?
Bodystorming
The way a technology looks, functions, and meets certain guidelines would best be known as
Criteria
Professionalism only applies when in Engineering classes
False
When conducting the Painstorming technique for defining the problem, one primarily conducts this action
Mostly observing and taking notes
Which of the following is not an impact technology has had on society
Experimental
You just came up with what you consider a great invention. In order to protect your invention, it would be best to file a
patent
Technology is considered evolutionary, which means
the technology develops over time through a series of improvements and refinements
Empathetic listening is part of “asking a lot of questions” in the define the problem step of the EDP. When you listen with empathy, you are attempting to place yourself in the other person’s shoes or seeing the problem from their perspective.
True
A prototype can be a small scale sample or model of a real-life object or can be a practice demonstration of a process
True
When a Engineering Design Journal is complete, a colleague or mentor should
Review the entries and then sign and date the page
You have been asked to design a new technology for a military member who lost a hand. What “Define the Problem” techniques would be most effective in this situation
Bodystorming and Ask a Lot of Questions
Defining the Problem or Identifying the Real problem is the most important step of the EDP
True
Part of the Engineering Design Process is the ability to iterate. Iterate means
If your solution does not work, you can go back in the EDP steps and try again
The primary purpose of a team charter is to
Outline the roles, responsibilities,and how members of a team will work together
Which of the following would not be correct about and Engineering Design Journal
Pages from the notebook may be removed for certain important reasons
The 5 Whys method is part of what Define the Problem technique
Find the Root Cause
You are allowed to attach or place other documents in the Engineering Design Journal only if attached with glue, tape or staples and one signs over the corner of the document such that the signature is partly on the document and the EDJ page
False
