build and test solution
present solution
evaluate solution
design a solution
- 2. Multiple Choice
Which of the following behaviors can negatively impact team success?
Group members listen to everyone's ideas
Group members feel free to disagree, but all comments are helpful
Group members only focus on the ideas of those with the best grades.
Group members understand their tasks and help each other.

Why is sketching an effective communication tool?
Designers can color parts of a sketch to show texture and communicate an object’s appearance
Sketching allows designers to accurately communicate details of their ideas with lots of information at once
Using sketches to communicate ideas makes the design neat and pleasing to the eye
Sketching tells a story about the design, such as how it might be used or where it will be made
- 4. Multiple Choice
Why might a designer or engineer use an isometric sketch rather than a perspective sketch to communicate their idea?
An isometric sketch can be drawn using multiple vanishing points, depending on the complexity of the object
An isometric sketch has more accurate design details, because it shows a view similar to what our eyes actually see
An isometric sketch uses dimensions to communicate height, width, and depth, whereas dimensions cannot be used in perspective sketches
An isometric sketch has no vanishing points and all horizontal and vertical lines are parallel to show details on three sides of an object simultaneously
- 5. Multiple Choice
Why is a decision matrix an important tool to use in the design process?
A decision matrix is used to identify the criteria, constraints, and deliverables
A decision matrix organizes your sketches, models, and brainstorming
A decision matrix determines the best solution by comparing design ideas to the criteria and constraints
A decision matrix is a contract between the client and the designer
- 6. Multiple Choice
Engineers, scientists, and designers innovate products by taking apart existing products and observing and documenting how they work, to determine how they can be improved. What is this process is called?
statistical analysis
mechanical dissection
mathematical modeling
Brainstorming
- 7. Multiple Choice
Which of the following is NOT common practice of computational thinking when solving complex problems?
Decomposing problems and using algorithms
Generating and applying mathematical models
Measuring and dimensioning accurate sketches
Modeling and simulating complex systems
- 8. Multiple Choice
While there are different versions of the design process, what are the essential elements in any type of design process?
The design process is linear, and each step must be completed in order and cannot be repeated
The design process must be iterative where designers can revisit previous steps to modify and change their design based on failures and testing
The design process must include steps for brainstorming and developing a design solution, but does not need to include design testing
The design process must include steps for brainstorming and developing a design solution, but does not need to include design testing
- 9. Multiple Choice
What is unique about a device or product that is universally designed?
The object can be used by animals as well as humans in different types of environments
The object can be used in different types of environments without breaking
The object can be used in different types of environments without breaking
The object is designed so that most people can use it without having special adaptations
