    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.
