Question

Match each example with the appropriate stage of technological design.

1. Evaluate the solution

2. Design a solution

3. Identify a problem or need

4. Implement the solution

-

a. Aerospace engineers need a lightweight material to build a jet.

b.Engineers determine which features the material must-have.

c.Engineers test a carbon-plastic compound in a wind tunnel.

d.The carbon-plastic compound is redesigned to save maximum energy.

Answer 1

The chronological order in which these steps are done is practice, is consistent with the bottom options. It makes sense that you first identify a general problem needed fixing (a). Then your must brainstorm ideas for how to solve this problem: the necessary designs, or proof of concepts (b). Then these ideas would be built by engineers, as well as rigorously tested for flaws (c). Finally, after testing, a company can safely implement the solution in general (d).

That being said, the order should be:

a.3

b.2

c.1

d.4
