Question

which of the following is not a task associated with the 5th step of the engineering design process (implementation)?

• eliminate weaknesses and hazards in your designs
• distribute to user population
• proceed with full production
• obtain feedback for next - generation design

question 6
which of the following is not a task associated with the 6th step of the engineering design process (reflection)?

• contemplate lessons learned and knowledge acquired from your design efforts
• identify flaws observed during implementation to be fixed in next generation design
• expand your thinking as to what is possible and what is not
• share your thoughts about a design project

Explanation:

First Question (5th step: Implementation)

The 5th step (Implementation) of the Engineering Design Process involves producing and distributing the design, and getting feedback for improvements. Eliminating weaknesses and hazards is typically part of earlier steps (like testing/evaluation) rather than implementation. Distributing to users, full production, and obtaining feedback are implementation - related. So "Eliminate weaknesses and hazards in your designs" is not an implementation - step task.

The 6th step (Reflection) in the Engineering Design Process focuses on learning from the design, identifying flaws for future designs, and sharing thoughts. Expanding thinking about what's possible is more related to the ideation or problem - definition phases, not reflection. Contemplating lessons, identifying flaws, and sharing thoughts are reflection - related. So "Expand your thinking as to what is possible and what is not" is not a reflection - step task.

Answer:

A. Eliminate weaknesses and hazards in your designs
