Question

which of the following is not a task associated with the first step of the engineering design process (needs assessment)?

• determining objectives to be achieved by solution
• determining how the intended consumer will benefit from solution
• determining who will benefit from solution
• identifying resources needed to obtain a solution

which of the following is not a task associated with the 2nd step of the engineering design process (problem formulation)?

• identify necessary constraints
• acquire and apply technical knowledge
• determine and prioritize design goals
• determine if the real problem differs from the initial problem statement that was presented
• recall any relevant fundamental approaches that have already been used to solve this problem

Explanation:

Question 1

In the first step of the Engineering Design Process (Needs Assessment), tasks focus on identifying who benefits, how they benefit, and the objectives of the solution. Identifying resources needed is part of later steps (like implementation or planning), not Needs Assessment.

In the second step (Problem Formulation), tasks include identifying constraints, determining goals, checking if the real problem differs, and recalling past approaches. Acquiring and applying technical knowledge is more associated with later steps (like design or development) rather than Problem Formulation.

Answer:

Identifying resources needed to obtain a solution
