engineering solutions

Question 1

the engineering method

Answer 1

1. Recognize and understand the problem.
2. Accumulate data and verify accuracy.
3. Select the appropriate theory or principle.
4. Make necessary assumptions.
5. Solve the problem.
6. Verify and check results.

Question 2

problem presentation

Answer 2

1. Problem Statement – This is a summary of the given
   information and an explanation of what needs to be
   determined.
2. Diagram – A sketch or diagram showing how things are
   setup and containing given and needed information.
3. Theory – Laws, relationships, and equations which will
   govern the steps used to solve the problem.
4. Assumptions – Information that provides a starting point
   from which to solve or provides relationships that allow
   you to eliminate unknowns.
5. Solution Steps – The steps taken to obtain the solution.
6. Identify Results & Verify Accuracy – Clearly identifying
   the final result (boxing, double underline, highlighting,
   etc.) and making sure that this solution makes sense and
   has the correct units.
