About This Quiz

TEN100: Chapter 03 Assignment focuses on the engineering design process through a case study of Jamy Drouillard, an MIT student who developed a small helicopter. The quiz assesses understanding of design challenges, simulation, and safety considerations in engineering projects.

2. What first name or nickname would you like us to use?

You may optionally provide this to label your report, leaderboard, or certificate.

2. MIT graduate student Jamy Drouillard worked on an engineering class project to build a small _______________.

Jamy Drouillard, a graduate student at MIT, was involved in an engineering class project that aimed to construct a small helicopter or multiple helicopters. The exact number of helicopters is not specified, but the project involved the building of helicopters as part of the class assignment.

3. To compare and choose the best possible design, Jamy created a computer ________________ of how the helicopters would fly.

Jamy created a computer simulation or simulations to compare and choose the best possible design for the helicopters. A simulation is a computerized model that mimics real-world scenarios and allows for testing and analysis. By creating simulations, Jamy can observe how the helicopters would fly under different conditions and make informed decisions based on the results obtained from the simulations.

Explanation

Submit

4. Jamy's team cam up with designs larger than toy helicopters but smaller than the model ones, with three or four small ______________ instead of one large one.

The sentence states that Jamy's team came up with designs that are larger than toy helicopters but smaller than model ones. These designs have three or four small "rotors" instead of one large "rotor". This implies that the correct answer is "rotors" because multiple small rotors are being used in the designs.

Explanation

Submit

5. Some anticipated consequences of the helicopter were injury to audience members or the distraction of _______________.

The correct answer is "players" because the sentence suggests that the distraction caused by the helicopter could affect multiple players. Using the plural form of the noun "player" is more appropriate in this context.
