Question 2

State the name of the computational thinking technique described in each of the following scenarios:

a.

An aerospace engineer is designing an autonomous flight path controller for a delivery drone. To ensure the navigation model is computationally efficient, she ignores minor details such as wind resistance variations below 5 knots, the drone's aerodynamic paint texture, and its physical color, focusing solely on the key parameters of coordinate positions, altitude, and remaining battery level.

[1]
b.

To tackle the complex challenge of programming the drone's complete control system, a software engineering team divides the project into three smaller, self-contained modules: one module dedicated to power management, a second dedicated to obstacle avoidance, and a third dedicated to GPS waypoint navigation.
