Engineering Design Process Flashcard Review

Front

What are constraints in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

Constraints are any factors that limit or restrict a design.

Front

What is the fifth step in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

The fifth step is to build a prototype.

Front

What occurs during the third step of the Engineering Design Process?

Back

During the third step, brainstorming takes place to generate ideas for solutions.

Front

Give an example of a constraint in engineering design.

Back

An example of a constraint is a limit on how much money you can spend.

Front

Is it possible to repeat steps in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

Yes, steps can be repeated in the 'need any changes' phase.

Front

What is the first step in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

The first step is to define the problem.

Front

What is the purpose of building a prototype in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

The purpose of building a prototype is to test and evaluate the design.

Front

What is brainstorming in the context of the Engineering Design Process?

Back

Brainstorming is the process of generating a wide range of ideas and solutions.

Front

What role do constraints play in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

Constraints guide the design process by setting limits that must be considered.

Front

What is the importance of testing in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

Testing is important to validate the design and ensure it meets the requirements.
