A professional engineer with long experience in hydrogeology reads a news report about a proposal seeking public funding for a dam. Based on her experience, she can identify several aspects of the proposed design that will pose severe environmental hazards. What is the most appropriate course of action that she should pursue? O A. The engineer should contact the project manager in charge of the proposal to seek more detailed information. O B. The engineer should start a citizen's petition collecting signatures with the sole purpose of stalling funding for the project. OC. The engineer should write a letter to the editor urging lawmakers to cancel funding for the project. O D. The engineer should do nothing because other qualified experts who know more specific information have taken, what must be, a good decision.

Storm doors have been installed on 50% of all homes in Anytown, USA. The remaining 50% of homeowners without storm doors think they may have a problem that a storm door could solve, but they’re not sure. Use Activities 1, 2, and 3 in the engineering design process to help these home owners systematically think through the definition of their need (Activity 1), a formal statement of their problem (Activity 2), and the generation of alternatives (Activity 3). The design process begins in the shown Figure with a statement of need and terminates with the specifications for a means of fulfilling that need.
