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?
