Engineering Design Process Test

Front

What is the Engineering Design Process?

Back

A systematic series of steps that engineers follow to come up with a solution to a problem.

Front

What is the Scientific Method?

Back

A method of research in which a problem is identified, relevant data is gathered, a hypothesis is formulated, and the hypothesis is tested.

Front

What is a key difference between the Engineering Design Process and the Scientific Method?

Back

In the scientific method, your hypothesis is either supported or not, while in the engineering design process, you can improve and retest.

Front

What does it mean to sample in research?

Back

To take a set of information from a smaller group to apply it to a larger group.

Front

Why is it important to have a diverse sample group?

Back

To ensure that the results are representative of the larger population and not biased.

Front

What is the first step in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

Identify the problem that needs to be solved.

Front

What is the purpose of the 'Plan' step in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

To draw a sketch of the solution and list the supplies needed.

Front

What is a constraint in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

A limiting factor that restricts the design process, such as budget, materials, or time.

Front

What is the 'Create' step in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

The step where the actual solution is built or developed.

Front

What is the 'Test' step in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

The step where the solution is evaluated to see if it meets the requirements.
