Explain the effect of the criteria and constraints on a design.
Explanation should include the concept that the criteria (i.e., requirements) and constraints (i.e., limitations) lead to tradeoffs to optimize the design.
Process/Skill Questions:
- What is an example of a tradeoff?
- Why do criteria and constraints lead to tradeoffs?
- How is a design optimized?
- What role does mathematics play in optimization?
