Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.104 Generate, Compare, and Optimize Solutions skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A team is optimizing an electric skateboard drivetrain. Objectives: maximize range and maximize acceleration. Constraints: motor temperature <= 90 C and battery current <= 60 A.

Which option best represents generate -> compare -> optimize with thermal/electrical constraints?

APick the highest current for maximum acceleration, ignoring battery and temperature limits.

BCompare only by range and choose the slowest setup regardless of acceleration.

COptimize by changing wheel size only, without analyzing constraints.

DGenerate multiple gear ratios and motor control limits, compare them using range/acceleration tests or models while enforcing temperature and current constraints, then optimize by selecting a ratio and tuning current limits to improve acceleration with minimal range loss while staying within 90 C and 60 A.

Solution & Explanation:Proper comparison uses models/tests to evaluate both objectives and screens out settings that violate thermal/current limits. Optimization tunes ratio and limits to reach a better tradeoff inside constraints.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A team is designing a high-throughput test jig. Constraint: measurement uncertainty <= 0.5%. Objectives: minimize cycle time and minimize fixture cost.

Which option correctly identifies generate, compare, and optimize solutions with metrology limits?

ACompare only by cost and ignore whether measurements are accurate.

BChoose the fastest jig even if uncertainty is 2%.

CGenerate multiple jig concepts, compare them by verifying uncertainty through calibration experiments and then evaluating cycle time and cost among those that meet 0.5%, then optimize the best concept by redesigning the clamping sequence to reduce cycle time without increasing uncertainty.

DOptimize by removing alignment features without re-checking uncertainty.

Solution & Explanation:A hard measurement-uncertainty constraint must be met first. After that, compare and optimize focus on reducing time and cost while preserving accuracy.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A team is designing a community microgrid controller. Objectives: minimize outage time and minimize operating cost. Constraint: must keep frequency within required limits during load changes.

Which option best shows generate -> compare -> optimize solutions for a cyber-physical system?

AChoose the cheapest operating strategy even if it violates frequency limits during transients.

BGenerate multiple control strategies and parameter sets, compare them using simulation/hardware-in-the-loop to enforce frequency limits while measuring outage recovery time and cost, then optimize by tuning control gains and switching logic to improve recovery time without destabilizing frequency.

COptimize by increasing gains until oscillations appear, without stability checks.

DCompare only by frequency stability and ignore outage time and cost.

Solution & Explanation:You generate candidate strategies, compare them under a hard stability constraint, then optimize by parameter tuning that improves objectives while maintaining stable frequency.
