What is Step 1 in the Engineering Design Process?

Understand the problem thoroughly.

What is Step 2 in the Engineering Design Process?

Carefully define the criteria and constraints placed on a solution.

What is Step 3 in the Engineering Design Process?

Devise a plan for a solution.

What is Step 4 in the Engineering Design Process?

Build the planned solution.

What is Step 5 in the Engineering Design Process?

Test the solution and evaluate its performance.

What is Step 6 in the Engineering Design Process?

Return to the planning phase and revise the plan, based on the data from the test.

What is Step 7 in the Engineering Design Process?

Repeat steps 4-6 until the data satifies the criteria and constraints.

What is the goal of a scientist?

To describe and explain the natural world.

What is the goal of an engineer?

To solve problems in the natural world.

Why will this cart not roll? Define the problem.

Due to the tape, the axles can't turn so the cart can't move from here to there.

This cart will not move. What is one possible solution to fix the problem?

Use binder clips as a bearing to attach the cart to the axles. The binder clips will allow the axles to turn so the cart can move from here to there.

Name the parts in a race-cart system. There are 4.

Cart body, front end, wheels, and the ramp.

If you were testing race carts to see if wheel size makes a difference in the distance traveled, which two carts would you test?

First and Third OR Second and Fourth

If you were testing race carts to see if front-end shape makes a difference in the distance traveled, which two carts would you test?

First and Second OR Third and Fourth

Student A pulls on a rope attached to a cart with 200 units of force. Student B pushes on a cart with 300 units of force. Student C pushes on the cart with 400 units of force. Will the cart move or remain in one place?

It will move to the left. Student A and Student C 200 + 400 = 600 units of force. Student B-300 units of force: 600 -300 = 300 units of force more.
