Title: Test the solution to the design problem.
Course: Engineering Explorations I-(21005-36) > Section: Examining the Engineering Design Process

Testing should include using mathematical, conceptual, and/or physical modeling, simulating, and optimizing. It should also include

- determining the objectives for an engineering test of the solution to the design problem (explain a successful test)
- determining the model type(s) to use, based on the identified goals and constraints
- explaining what each model type will show or accomplish
- creating the model or prototype in accordance with a plan
- applying mathematical formulas, as applicable.

Process/Skill Questions:

- How can one create a mathematical model from the techniques available?
- Why is a plan for a test needed before one begins construction of a model?
