Engineering Design Process

Front

What is a constraint in engineering design?

Back

A constraint is a limitation or restriction that affects the design process.

Front

What should you do if your prototype fails?

Back

You should brainstorm and research to find solutions.

Front

Are the steps of the scientific method and the engineering design process similar?

Back

True, they both involve systematic approaches to problem-solving.

Front

What is the next step after successfully testing a prototype?

Back

You should communicate the results of your testing.

Front

What is necessary before brainstorming solutions with a team?

Back

You need to conduct research to understand the problem.

Front

What is the first step in the engineering design process?

Back

Identify the problem that needs to be solved.

Front

What is a prototype?

Back

A prototype is a working model of a design used to test and evaluate ideas.

Front

Why is it important to communicate results in engineering?

Back

Communicating results helps share findings and informs future design decisions.

Front

What does it mean to iterate in the design process?

Back

Iterating means to repeat steps in the design process to improve the design based on feedback.

Front

What role does brainstorming play in the engineering design process?

Back

Brainstorming generates a variety of ideas and solutions to address a problem.
