Communicate Results
A
An engineer using a decision matrix to determine which one of his/her solution ideas meets the established criteria and constraints.
B
An engineer creates a mind-map of potential solution ideas regardless of feasibility.
C
An engineer uses data to make decisions about design alterations.
D
An engineer does not allow preconceptions to limit the different ways in which a problem could be solved.
E
An engineer develops a plan of action to produce a solution to a problem.
F.
An engineer creates a 3D visual representation of his/her proposed design solution.
G.
An engineer creates a formal presentation that summarizes his/her process for developing a solution to a problem.
H.
An engineer collects and analyzes data to determine how well his/her solution solves the problem.
I.
An engineer will document the essential guidelines and limitations for solving a problem.
J.
An engineer develops a short and descriptive statement that identifies what the problem is, who should address the problem, and when and how a problem should be adressed.
K.
An engineer sends his/her design to a maunfacturer for production.
L.
An engineer works to determine what mathematical and scientific knowledge is essential for creating a soltuion to a problem.
