  • 2. 

    Which step of the design process do you test the prototype under controlled and actual conditions?

    • Product improvement phase

    • Test and evaluate the design using specifications

    • Produce Enhancement

    • Create or make a solution.

    Correct Answer
    A. Test and evaluate the design using specifications
    Explanation
    In the design process, testing the prototype under controlled and actual conditions is done in order to assess its performance and functionality. This step, known as "Test and evaluate the design using specifications," allows designers to identify any flaws or areas for improvement in the prototype. By subjecting the prototype to both controlled and real-world conditions, designers can gather valuable feedback and data to refine the design and ensure it meets the required specifications.

    What engineering method uses a logical sequence of steps that begins with a specific problem or perceived need and results in a solution?

    • Data collection

    • Brainstorming

    • Innovation

    • Design process

    Correct Answer
    A. Design process
    Explanation
    The design process is an engineering method that follows a logical sequence of steps, starting with identifying a specific problem or need and ending with the development of a solution. It involves gathering data, brainstorming ideas, and implementing innovative approaches to address the problem effectively. This systematic approach ensures that engineers follow a structured and efficient process to create solutions that meet the desired requirements.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    What is the first step in the design process where you identify a problem that exists and gathers information?

    • Brainstorm

    • Define a problem

    • Explore possibilities

    • Model and prototype

    Correct Answer
    A. Define a problem
    Explanation
    The first step in the design process is to define a problem. This involves identifying an issue or challenge that needs to be addressed. By clearly defining the problem, designers can then gather information and conduct research to better understand the problem and its context. This step sets the foundation for the rest of the design process, as it helps to guide the exploration of possible solutions and the creation of models and prototypes.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    In which step of the design process would you present an oral presentation with visual aids such as a slideshow, model, prototype, etc... In this step, you would also market and distribute the product.

    • Explore possibilities

    • Refine the design

    • Communicate Processes and Results

    • Problem statement

    • Develop a design proposal

    Correct Answer
    A. Communicate Processes and Results
    Explanation
    In the step of "Communicate Processes and Results," presenting an oral presentation with visual aids such as a slideshow, model, prototype, etc., would be appropriate. This step involves sharing the design process and its outcomes with others, including stakeholders, clients, and potential users. It is also the stage where marketing and distribution strategies for the product are discussed and implemented. By presenting visual aids and delivering an oral presentation, designers can effectively communicate their ideas, showcase the design's features and benefits, and generate interest in the product.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which part of the design brief would the following statements be located:Weigh less than 8 ozMeets all health and safety codes

    • Client

    • Design Statement

    • Constraints

    • Problem Statement

    Correct Answer
    A. Constraints
    Explanation
    The given statements "Weigh less than 8 oz" and "Meets all health and safety codes" indicate specific requirements or limitations that need to be considered during the design process. These statements are not part of the client's expectations or design statement, but rather they define the constraints within which the design must operate. Constraints are the boundaries or restrictions that guide the design and help ensure that the final product meets certain criteria or standards.

    • K A D E B C H K F G I J

    Correct Answer
    A. D A E K L M F B I C H J
    Explanation
    The design process begins with defining the problem (D) and conducting research to generate ideas (A, E). Next, criteria and constraints are identified (K) and possibilities are explored (L, M). A design proposal is then developed (F) and a model or prototype is made (B). The design is then refined (C) and a solution is created (H). The design is tested and evaluated using specifications (I) and the processes and results are communicated (J). Therefore, the correct order of the steps is D A E K L M F B I C H J.

    What does the acronym EPA stand for?

    • Employee Protection Agency

    • Environmental Policy Agenda

    • Environmental Protection Agency

    • Economic Policy Association

    • Earth Political Agency

    Correct Answer
    A. Environmental Protection Agency
    Explanation
    The acronym EPA stands for Environmental Protection Agency. This agency is responsible for protecting human health and the environment by enforcing regulations and conducting research on environmental issues. They work to ensure clean air, water, and land, and to address issues such as pollution, climate change, and hazardous waste. The other options do not accurately represent the purpose or focus of the EPA.

    In which step of the design process would the designer reassess the validity of the design criteria and make adjustments to the design brief if necessary?  In this step, the designer would also update the documentation of the final solution.

    • Develop a design proposal

    • Make a model or prototype.

    • Create or make a solution

    • Refine the design

    Correct Answer
    A. Refine the design
    Explanation
    In the step of refining the design, the designer would reassess the validity of the design criteria and make adjustments to the design brief if necessary. This step involves reviewing and analyzing the design, identifying any flaws or areas for improvement, and making necessary modifications to enhance the design. Additionally, the designer would also update the documentation of the final solution during this step, ensuring that all changes and adjustments are properly recorded and documented for future reference.

    I am a designer, and I have just completed my final design on a new hybrid motorcycle. Who would be a good client? Check all that apply.

    • Harley Davidson

    • Men 20 years and older

    • Fisher Price

    • Ford

    • Honda

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Harley Davidson
    A. Honda
    Explanation
    Harley Davidson and Honda would be good clients because they are both well-known motorcycle manufacturers. As a designer of a new hybrid motorcycle, it would make sense to approach companies that have experience and expertise in the motorcycle industry. Fisher Price is a toy company and Ford is a car manufacturer, so they may not be suitable clients for a motorcycle design. Men 20 years and older is a demographic group, not a potential client.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Which of the following are sections of a design brief? Check all that apply.

    • Target Consumer

    • Design Problem

    • Constraints

    • Select Approach

    • Problem Statement

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Target Consumer
    A. Constraints
    A. Problem Statement
    Explanation
    The sections of a design brief include the target consumer, constraints, and problem statement. The target consumer section outlines the specific audience or user group that the design is intended for. The constraints section lists any limitations or restrictions that need to be considered during the design process. The problem statement section clearly defines the design problem or challenge that needs to be addressed. The other options, such as design problem and select approach, are not mentioned as sections in a design brief.
