What is the first step in the engineering process?

Back

Defining the problem

Front

Why is it important to define the problem clearly in the engineering process?

Back

To save time and resources, ensure the solution is effective, and avoid unnecessary testing.

Front

After defining the problem, what is the next step in the engineering process?

Back

Research

Front

What is a prototype in the context of engineering?

Back

A detailed plan or blueprint; a model or a computer simulation.

Front

Why is testing a prototype an essential part of the engineering process?

Back

To ensure it works as intended, to identify any flaws or areas for improvement, and to gather data for further development.

Front

What does the evaluation step involve in the engineering process?

Back

Reviewing test results and making improvements

Front

What lesson can be learned from Willis Carrier's experience with inventing modern air conditioning?

Back

Persistence and learning from failures lead to better solutions.

Front

Why is failure considered a valuable part of the engineering process?

Back

It HIGHLIGHTS our mistakes and provides opportunities to learn and improve.

Front

What is the main purpose of the engineering process as described in the video?

Back

To systematically solve problems through testing and refinement
