What does the engineering design process have in common with the scientific method discussed in a previous unit?

A.) Both have clearly defined steps.

B.) Neither requires special training.

C.) Both can be ignored in certain situations.

D.) Neither is started with a particular result in mind.

Solution:

It is use as the scientific method to make testable explanations and predictions about the world. A scientist asks a question and develops an experiment, or set of experiments, to answer that question. Engineers use the engineering design process to create solutions to problems.

Both have the clearly defined steps are as follows:

State your question Define the problem

Do background research Do background research

Formulate your hypothesis, identify variables Specify requirements

Design experiment, establish procedure Create alternative solutions, choose the best one and develop it

Test your hypothesis by doing an experiment Build a prototype

Analyze your results and draw conclusions Test and redesign as necessary

Communicate results Communicate resul

Thus the right answer is A.

The answer is A.

Both have clearly defined steps.

Both scientists and engineers provide to the world of information, but because scientists and engineers have different aims, they follow dissimilar methods. Scientists analyze how nature works and use the systematic method as a framework for performing test. To test whether an observation is true, they ask questions and prosper test to try and answer that question. Instead, engineers construct, build, and find answers to problems using the creativity-based engineering design methods. An engineer identifies a particular need and then construct a solution. Whether you're a scientist or an engineer, you will probably go through these steps multiple times throughout your project.
