Study Notes
Transportation to School
- School lacks yellow school buses; most students live nearby and use public transit or walk.
- Kai plans to take the city bus, needing to leave home by 8:35 AM for a 9 AM class.
- Free bus rides are available for students with school ID; Kai won't receive ID until Monday.
Exploring Transportation Options
- Kai considers walking the route to school before the semester starts to assess time and bus stops.
- Observations made during the walk include:
- Covered bus stops for shelter.
- Availability of bike lanes and a trail through a park.
Cycling Considerations
- Kai reflects on biking to school, stating it could shorten commute to 10 minutes.
- Kai's past lack of biking was influenced by distance and weather conditions, with previous heavy snowfall affecting usability.
School Facilities
- Kai notes the presence of bike racks at the new school, unlike the previous school, suggesting a more bike-friendly environment.
Engineering Design Process Overview
- Engineers brainstorm multiple solutions for defined problems, encouraging creativity without initial judgment.
- The importance of criteria during brainstorming compared to constraints is emphasized for fostering innovative ideas.
Evaluating Design Solutions
- After generating potential solutions, each must be assessed against established criteria and constraints.
- Solutions are scored numerically on how well they meet specific criteria, with weights assigned to indicate their importance.
- A decision matrix is used to quantify evaluations, providing a systematic way to identify the best options.
