Newton's First Law of Motion

A series of steps that engineers follow to come up with a solution to a problem.

True

False:

Engineers DO NOT always follow the engineering design process steps in order.

True

The laws of motion and gravity

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

An object’s tendency to stay in motion

movement or moving

staying still or not moving

Want to stay in motion

Want to stay at rest

Any of the natural influences that exist between particles and determine the structure of the universe.

Design something, test it, find a problem, and then go back to an earlier step to make a modification or change to your design.

A rule or idea that things in the universe are expected follow

Forces

The application of science and mathematics by which the properties of matter and the sources of energy in nature are made useful to people.

Creating, fashioning, executing, or constructing something according to a plan.

DDSBPDBTC:

Define the Problem
Do Background Research
Specify Requirements
Brainstorm Solutions
Pick the Best Solution
Develop the Solution
Build a Prototype
Test and Redesign
Communicate Results

False:
It is a very important and normal part of the process to find problems in your solutions and have to go back to previous steps in the design process.

Ask questions about problems that you observe

Learn from the experiences of others

Analyze the concrete example of a similar, existing product

Generate as many possible solutions as you can

Look at whether each possible solution meets your design requirements

The refinement and improvement of a solution

Make an operating version of a solution

test your solution, find new problems, make changes, and test new solutions before settling on a final design

Talk about your results with others
