Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 8.128 Communicate Design Solutions for an Audience skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which communication package best justifies an engineering design solution for a specific target audience?

AA colorful poster with no data and no explanation.

BOnly raw data copied from a notebook, with no claim or labels.

CA promise that the design works, without showing how it was tested.

DA final claim, audience-relevant criteria, controlled test evidence, clear visuals, tradeoffs, limits, and a recommendation.

Solution & Explanation:A complete communication package connects the design decision to evidence, audience needs, tradeoffs, and limits.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A team must publicly explain why its low-cost water pump did not meet the flow-rate goal. Which message best supports trust and future redesign?

AOur final prototype cost 22 dollars but delivered 1.8 L/min instead of the 2.5 L/min goal, so we recommend testing a wider outlet and stronger seal next.

BThe pump worked perfectly and no data should be shown.

CThe flow-rate goal was unimportant after we missed it.

DWe should blame the audience for expecting evidence.

Solution & Explanation:Honest reporting of unmet criteria and next redesign steps builds trust and supports iteration.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Two wheelchair-cupholder prototypes have average spill amounts of 12 mL and 10 mL, but their error ranges overlap strongly. Which claim should the team make?

APrototype 2 is definitely better in all situations.

BPrototype 1 must be better because it has the larger number.

CError ranges should never be shared with an audience.

DPrototype 2 had a slightly lower average spill amount, but the overlapping error ranges mean more testing is needed before a strong claim.

Solution & Explanation:The claim describes the trend while correctly communicating uncertainty.
