Title: Justify an optimal solution to the design problem.
Course: Biomedical Engineering (21049) > Section: Using the Engineering Design Process to Solve a Biomedical Problem

Justification should include

- explaining the meaning of the term optimal solution
- comparing all known aspects of the proposed solutions
- explaining reasons one solution may be the best
- explaining how a decision matrix is used to choose the optimal solution.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are trade-offs?
- How do trade-offs affect the decision-making process?
- How can the optimal solution among multiple solutions be determined?
- Why is selecting the optimal solution not a guarantee of success in solving the design problem?
