Objective 2.03: Understand Criteria and Constraints

How can a design perform well and still miss the requirements? Join Phillip Cofield, Ed.S., for this Technology Engineering and Design lesson on criteria, constraints, measurable requirements, trade-offs, and testing with evidence. Follow a 3D-printed toy-car challenge, compare bridge requirements, and apply the ideas to a school locker organizer. Learn to distinguish successful performance from limits on cost, time, materials, and size. QUIZ Complete all 10 A–D questions before the explained-answer review. Each question is worth 10 points. Your goal is to get at least 90%—at least 9 out of 10 correct. Write down your answers. Each thinking section includes a five-second silent hold after the question and pause instruction; use your player’s pause control whenever you need longer.
