Engineers must understand the difference between requirements and constraints.
Let's say a team of engineers is asked to design a pair of kids' tennis shoes for less
than $20. They determine that the only way to manufacture shoes for this price is
to use recycled materials. What is the team's constraint?
The shoes must cost less than $20 to manufacture

Use the following brief to assist you in answering the question about the
affordable housing project:
A group of UBCO engineering students has gone to the Provost's office with the
following problem: Finding affordable housing that is close to campus is becoming
increasingly difficult. There is not enough on-campus housing to meet the needs
of the growing UBCO engineering student population. Off-campus housing is
currently either very expensive if it is close to campus or requires long commutes
for more affordable housing options. The Provost's Office has emphasized the
importance of solving this need for UBCO engineering students and has enlisted
your team to develop a solution by September 2023. Your team has done some
research and to meet the needs of the population, housing options must be less
than a 20-minute commute by either foot, bike, or public transit and must cost
less than $1,500.00 per month.
